NEW YORK! I feel most at home in VIENNA, AUSTRIA, and I adore northern Europe and it's history... but New York is a smokey alternative lemme tell you.
Music, great white sharks, felines, German WWII history, F1, Barbie, criminology and forensic science. Rubber and latex/pvc are nice... VERY nice. Surgical scrubs, clinical settings and priest finery. I collect clown & Michael Myers stuff. I LOVE MY CATS. I HATE MORE THAN I LOVE!
AWWW WHO'S A CUTIE-WUTIE SHARKY-WARKY THEN? YOU ARE!
I LOVE THE BOYS FROM FFVII: ADVENT CHILDREN!
I LOVE JUGHEAD JONES!!!
I LOVE ILLYANA/D.C/MAGIK!

Elizabeth Montgomery (does anyone know the secret to time travel? I LOVED THIS WOMAN! :( ): ditto Betty Page. And FRIDA AND AGNETHA from ABBA. Agnetha Foltskog was the first person I wanted to be. BOYS: I've met the only boy I really want to know. And I've met Bill Steer, CKY, Julian Casablancas and Mike Patton so I guess that leaves....

Too much to list! OINGO BOINGO to CARCASS might cover it. Music was my first love, and will be my last!!! Look, if you were born in '71 like me and grew up in the '70s & '80s, you were either 1, born into musical credibility, or 2, became the same loser you were when you wore dayglo socks and still don't know who the Sex Pistols were. I was 10 years old & already owned vinyl & tapes by 'CURE, 'DAMNED, SIOUXSIE', RAMONES, BLONDIE, DEVO, 'CLASH, MADNESS, 'PISTOLS, 'BUNNYMEN, 'JAM, 'ALARM, DEPECHE MODE... need I go on? So don't start with me.

*************************
I WISH IT NEVER HAD TO BE DECEMBER 16. "COME BACK TO ME: YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE GONE". I REMEMBER YOU FOR MAKING A YOUNG GIRL'S HEART BURST OUT OF HER CHEST WITH THE BIGGEST CRUSH SHE'D EVER HAD, AND FOR MAKING A GUITAR SOUND LIKE BAGPIPES! :) X. STUART AND BC FOREVER. ************************
Movies:
FUNNY GAMES, HAROLD AND MAUDE, THE BAD SEED (ORIGINAL ONLY! behold the gorgeous princess below!), A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (u should see it overdubbed in german: fantastic. It is a fear of mine, and I mean that in the true sense of the word, that Hollywood - burn Hollywood burn! - are going to remake this classic in the next 2 years. Don't worry: u can all write me snail mail in prison when that happens), HALLOWEEN, PSYCHO (ORIGINAL ONLY!!!), KISSED, DIRTY HARRY, MAGNUM FORCE.... 'SOUND OF MUSIC to DONNIE DARKO. But I'd much prefer a good documentary. HARRY POTTER! NAPOLEON DYNAMITE!. FINAL FANTASY VII Advent Children! I also love the silent era sirens: VALENTINO, Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish, Garbo...
Television:
..
The League Of Gentlemen, Father Ted, THE OFFICE (UK original ONLY! don't even speak to me if you watch that other shite), The Young Ones, Kenny Everett Video Cassette, the Goodies, SCRUBS, Hornblower, ORIGINAL Battlestar Galactica, House, Josey And The Pussycats, Jem, Bewitched, James At 15, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Milton the Monster, John Safran's Music Jamboree, John Safran Vs God, Speaking In Tongues, Jackass, Viva La Bam!, Wildboyz, Rescue Me, Prison Break, The Addams Family, HR Puff'N'Stuff (he's your friend when things get rough!), Bless This House, Mind Your Language, Love Thy Neighbour, Happy Tree Friends, Southpark, Seinfeld, Wacky Races, Robotech.... ok I stop now. Thankfully I have most of them on dvd.
Books:
PERFUME is now an all time favourite to add to, from early highschool to present day, HHGTTG, Restaurant At The End Of The Universe And Life The Universe And Everything, and still lovin' Adam Parfrey's APOCALYPSE CULTURE. Touching From A Distance by Deb Curtis, and somewhat of a religious reference text: NO IRISH, NO BLACKS, NO DOGS by John Lydon.
Heroes:
Anyone who has swam with great white sharks. Because I want to. Anyone who has pioloted or been crew person of a space shuttle. Because I want to. Anyone who risks their life on a daily basis to free tortured, imprisoned animals in an attempt to end the world wide trade in endangered species (hell, any animals). BECAUSE WE ALL SHOULD! *Sings to fade* A world without heroes.... *Thinks* oooh having 'sung' that, Ace Frehley was my hero from age 4 to at least 11. So he's The Hero Formerly Known As. Next was Stuart from BC. Then again my other heroes as a kid were Norman Bates, MICHAEL MYERS & Darth Vader. Go figure. Oh and James Dean. And then came Illyana!!! I'd say MICHAEL SCHUMACHER is a diety as opposed to a hero, only just one rung under AYRTON SENNA on the religious icon ladder. GREG MOORE also has a rung on the said same ladder. AND DATA + THE PREDATOR! AGNETHA FROM ABBA!
