Writing, reading, movies, music, eating & drinking, walking in the country, running, cycling ...
I'd like to meet:
Readers and writers, and people who like to think for themselves.
Music:
Dropkick Murphys, Metallica, Muse, Flogging Molly, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Motorhead, Thin Lizzy, Anthrax, The Who, Deep Purple, Jane's Addiction, GTFBi Band, Stiff Little Fingers, Skunk Anansie, Fields of the Nephilim, Saxon (sorry...), Sisters of Mercy, The Cult, Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction ... anything rocky, anything with balls.
Movies:
Where do I begin ...? Favourite movies include The Haunting (original version ... please), The Thing, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Kaufman), The Usual Suspects, Alien, Jacob's Ladder, Exorcist 3, Pulp Fiction, Dog Soldiers, Memento ... the list goes on.
Television:
Don't watch much. Soaps make me puke. New series of Battlestar Galactica is great, Lost was good to begin with. I like comedy stuff: The Office, Green Wing, Scrubs, Little Britain. Most reality TV stuff bores me, and the continuing cult of celebrity - perpetuated by reality TV - makes me want to set fire to something.
Books:
My favourite books I've read over the last few years (though not necessarily published recently): Consider Phlebas, The Immaculate, War of the Worlds, The Count of Eleven, The Hill of Dreams, Sophie's World, The Endymion Cycle (Simmons), The Tooth Fairy, King Blood, The Sparrow, Bag of Bones, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, The Crook Factory, What You Make It, The Longest Single Note, Ghost Story, The Cement Garden, Ladies' Night, The Land of Laughs, The Bottoms, A Choir of Ill Children, Perdido Street Station, The Dark Tower books .......
Heroes:
Arthur Machen, Bill Hicks, Phil Lynott. All dead. Not sure what that says about me, and not sure I want to know.
