first & foremost, i'm a massive nerd...i absolutely adore most comic books, but more specifically the X-Men and Marvel Comics. this adoration was officially upgraded to lifetime membership status by one of my best friends, Crystal, when she paid for me to get the X-Men logo tattooed on my wrist. what? i'd been threatening to do it for years & there's a good chance that if you're reading this you already know my nerdyness is staggering, & if not...well consider yourself forewarned lol. on that note, my 10 favorite X-Men & Marvel characters are:
Emma Frost & Cyclops
Dazzler
Ms Marvel
Havok & Polaris
Rachel Summers/Marvel Girl
Spider-Woman
Pixie
X-23
another huge interest of mine are, of course, my fabulous friends & family:
other than that...i enjoy dancing like a crazy person, looking up random crap on Wikipedia, preparing for the variety show me & Mary will never have, playing Wii, cooking (when i have directions), camping & browsing nifty internet sites.
some favorite websites/blogs of mine: Fwoosh Pink Is The New Blog Comics Should Be Good! Project Rungay VirtualNES Dlisted Uncannyxmen.net ENERGY98 stuff white people like
Brandon Flowers & Matthew Fox, please. lol
music is a huge part of my life. i'm obsessed with it & could list about 50 artists that i adore, but i nobody wants to read that long of a list anyhow. in a nutshell, i've always preferred my music to be upbeat & happy, so i've got a real soft spot for any kind of music that can make me dance, be it hip-hop, pop or even country (though usually only the songs about drinking lol). keeping with the dance angle, i also listen to a wide range of electronic music such as progressive house (dave audé, stuart price/jacques lu cont), trance (dave dresden, tiësto), & lots of big gay remixes by someone fabulous like the freemasons, chris cox or bimbo jones lol. some of my all-time favorites:
Beyoncé
Britney Spears
the Spice Girls
Kylie Minogue
Cher
the Killers
Blake Lewis
Dannii Minogue
much like with the music section, i could probably ramble on forever about movies that i enjoy. instead let's keep it simple, some faves:
Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion
200 Cigarettes
The Dark Knight
the X-Men series
Clueless
Monster
The 40 Year Old Virgin
the Bridget Jones' Diary series
well now that i have a DVR & can watch any show i want any time...i kind of watch alot, these are the shows i currently follow:
LOST
Desperate Housewives
Ugly Betty
Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List
Weeds
Smallville
Samantha Who?
Grey's Anatomy
i'll also watch just about any gross surgery show on Discovery Health and most of the shows on Bravo are great too (though now that Project Runway is moving to Lifetime, i may lose interest since i won't be exposed to their commercials ad nauseam anymore). some off the air show that i love & own on DVD would be ALIAS, Jericho, Batman: The Animated Series, Sex & The City, Veronica Mars, The Golden Girls, Roseanne, the Nanny, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman & The Osbournes.
