I take pictures, so photography. Iceland and Japan are two countries and cultures I would love to learn more about and experience. Video games that have strong storires are better than movies and can be more fun than books. The internet is a wonderful source of communication and information, I don't care if anyone thinks it's bad. I like going to concerts, taking long showers, cuddling and going out to eat. Pocky is super tasty. Old books are interesting and I like having them even if I can't read what's inside. I love my sneakers, the entire brood of them. Public art is terribly interesting too, graffiti and the like. Cross-genre music is great to keep your ears on their toes.Imagery is one of the most useful tools for a writer. I wish I was better at it. One should read A&P by John Updike and Jack London's To Build a Fire for great descriptions of lighting and perception and frostbite, respectively.Now for a list of interests: Bioluminescence, Expired film, Lighting, Walking, Trees, Building things, Taking things apart, Mail, Cameras, Felix (my computer), Finding good deals, Stencils, Water colors, Dinosaurs, Grammar, Notcot (.org and .com),I am starting to loose my momentum here because of IMs and TV, so more to come at a later date.
