My interests are various and nefarious. Music, DJing and writing (fiction) being at the top of the polls.[nÃg]-ge-na-da a-ba in-da-di nam-ti ì-ù-tu

People I've met before, liked, and somehow lost contact with.
If you're obsessed with vampires (or *vampyres*. what have you) don't bother. I have no interest in you.
If you're obsessed with zombies, on the other hand, we might have something to talk about.
The rest - I don't really know. I don't like very many people, but once you're in like gin, it's hard to shake me. I think I'd like to meet people who see beyond, and even appreciate my crass nature (and me). I wouldn't mind if you'd not look down your nose at me for having a filthy mouth and an oft sick sense of humour. I might even enjoy having cocktails with people who don't give a fuck about the majority because they're too busy concentrating all of their affections on the minority. Not in a myopic or elite way (okay maybe in a quasi-elite fashion).
Honestly, I used to DJ because it gave me the thrill of the crowd without the actual social bullshit. I like watching people, not always interacting with them, or at least I tend towards being rather selective in who I enjoy interacting with. I crave honest and real connections with people, but not just anyone. Despite all this, I take tremendous emotional risks and generally end up getting kicked in the teeth for it. I can't be any other way. If it's not worth some emotional risk, it's probably not worth much.
Yes, please? Okay, Industrial, Deathrock, EBM, Trance, Goa, cheesy dance crap, Techno, HiNRG, Electronica, Punk, Psychobilly, and all the various subgenres and classifications that go along with them. Does anyone really know what those all mean anyhow? I don't really care if you do. I like what I like, and some of it is actually good.
I also like Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane, but I would not consider myself a fan of Jazz or Blues in their respective totalities. If I had to pick an all time favourite band, it would have to be Southern Death Cult/Death Cult/The Cult.
I've been known to rock out to Journey and Led Zeppelin, was raised on Hendrix and post-hallucinogen Beatles, and wore nothing but purple the year Purple Rain came out because I was obsessed with Prince. You got a problem with that?

I like things that freak me out mentally, either with fear, sadness, joy, or thought. I am also partial to flicks with Barbra Steele, fighting skeletons, Christopher Lee, Parker Posey, and moments of uncomfortable laughter.

Nearly all of them, minus the trash romance novels and ill-written memoirs of boring folk. I like to re-read things. Many things at once. Me and an orgy of familiar and loved books.
Nina Hagen, Klaus Nomi, Lily Munster, Lady Kier, Danielle Dax, Margaret Cho, Tricia Warden, Charles Bukowski, Charles Baudelaire, Bill Hicks, Carl McCoy, and the women in Fellini films. And mostly, I am nothing like any of them, which is probably why I like them. ;)
