You
Anything that's creative, different, full of talent, and required using a brain and energy to make. I like traditional type music, especially Celtic, I like metal, oh, most of the stuff I like probably doesn't fit into any "category". Some examples of bands I like are: Lunasa, Corvus Corax, Omnia, Six Organs of Admittance, Devendra Banhart, the Chieftains, Paddy Keenan, Joanna Newsom, Beck, Smashing Pumpkins, Lothlorien, Tea Party, Danu, Atomic Bliss (yay Kat!), Deanta, Dave Matthews Band, Jeff Buckley, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Carcass..oh the list could go on forever if I kept typing!
I like a good escape, so I like reading fantasy. I like historical and mythical stories. I like reading research-type books. Some authors I get into are Stephen Donaldson, Caiseal Mor, Raymond Feist, Morgan Llewelyn, Dwina Murphy-Gibb, Roy Edwards. I really dug the Clan of the Cave Bear series except some of it pissed me off, repetitive stuff but it was interesting. There's always going to be aspects of a book that annoy but there's much more to love. I love reading. At the moment one of the books I'm reading is The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, The Unbeliever, for the second time. It's a great story. Books are very special to me, and I collect them fervently.
This may sound a little cliche/corny whatever, but one of my biggest heros is my Dad. He's a great man, he's very special to me. He's always been a strong figure to depend upon.
