My Interests

I don't know, but I'm really into chess, I do fencing (the sword-fighting stuff), I like chicken, I'm a runner (currently training for a marathon on my own), I like computer games. I'm totally introverted, sometimes to the point where I don't even notice what's going on around me, and sometimes makes it difficult to make conversation. I have interests (apart from what I've already mentioned) in alchemy, illusions (our minds can play tricks on us), existentialism, and science fiction/ fantasy novels. A lot of that sounds really corny, and I might get around to fixing it, but in the meantime, screw you...

I'd like to meet:

Rush Limbaugh's underpants, the inventor of the tampon, the guy who ate the very first cheez-it, the inventor of chess, my past life and boobies!!!!!!!(.)(.)

Music:

This is hard, because even though I like a lot of music, a lot of the time I don't know who's playing it. But from what I can tell, I like David Bowie, Interpol, Green Day, The Beatles, Morrisey, some Led Zeppelin, and probably a bunch of other stuff I can't remember right now...

Movies:

Um... I think my two favorite movies are The Princess Bride (NO, NOT the Princess Diaries), and The Shawshank Redemption. Awesome movies! Some others I like are: Dark City, Memento, A Beautiful Mind, Casablanca (oh yeah!), North by Northwest, Big Fish, Rainman, and probably a bunch of other stuff too...

Television:

The Simpsons is probably the main one, which probably doesn't come as a surprise to anyone either. A heck of a lot of T.V. shows have really, really gone down in quality to the point whenever they introduce a new reality show, I always think the station's playing a joke or something. But then they air it. And my jaw drops at the sheer stupidity of it all. And people watch it too! "Who wants to marry my Dad," well stand in line ladies! This guy's a real catch, and; and wait, I don't give a damn!

Books:

Science Fiction/ Fantasy. I generally don't like reading non-fiction, since it unfortunately seems to put thinks in perspective ;) But I'm a big fan of Piers Anthony and his Xanth series, and Robert Jordan used to rock my world, at least until I switched over to Terry Goodkind. Recently I've been reading some of Madeline L'Engle's stuff (A Wrinkle in Time). I also recently read Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" (for fun) and thought that was really cool, it was even cooler when I met the guy in person not too long after I finished the book. Yeah, books rock... Oh yeah, Ripley's Believe it or Not! I have a big book of that, and it's still friggin' awesome!

Heroes:

Me. I don't like relying on anyone else for inspiration, although it does happen occasionally. I'm not saying there aren't people that I have a lot of respect for, but "hero" to me is a heavy duty word, and no one's gotten that far.
