What crime would you most likely commit?
You are a Samurai.
You are full of honour and value respect. You
are not really the stereotypical hero, but you
do fight for good. Just in your own way. For
you, it is most certainly okay to kill an evil
person, if it is for justice and peace. You
also don't belive in mourning all the time and
think that once you've hit a bad stage in life
you just have to get up again. It's pointless
to concentrate on emotional pain and better to
just get on with everything. You also are a
down to earth type of person and think before
you act. Impulsive people may annoy you
somewhat.
Main weapon: Sword
Quote: "Always do the right thing.
This will gratify some people and astonish the
rest" -Mark Twain

I'd like to meet:

literate, adventurous sorts who can make me piss myself laughing.

and my first true love:

Music:

first record: michael jackson - thriller. first tape: madonna - true blue. first cd: pj harvey - to bring you my love. absolutely in love with yeah yeah yeahs at the moment

Movies:

we've all seen a mess of movies. some i liked: the family stone born into brothels the science of sleep little miss sunshine me and you and everyone we know harry potter and the goblet of fire eating raoul tape raise the red lantern
sin city v for vendetta the house of yes ghost dog closer the straight story like water for chocolate down by law blade runner
the winter sleepers the corporation say anything
the constant gardener spirited away
dr strangelove
groundhog day y tu mama tambien love actually cabaret persona
the sweetest thing the graduate kung fu hustle how to get ahead in advertising the leningrad cowboys mr and mrs smith baraka
room with a view. anything by wes anderson(royal tenenbaums, the life aquatic...) jeunet and caro(delicatessen,
city of lost children) or kieslowski(decalogue, three colors: blue, white and red) the constant gardener, batman begins was good. i love great kung fu flicks like tokyo fist
and iron monkey
i'll give most things a go, but i get picky if i have to pay to see it. that fucking watermelon movie, 'the wayward cloud' was interesting--
taiwanese fruit porn/cleaning lady showgirl porn at its best.

Television:

league of gentlemen. arrested development.

Books:

do text books count?
recreationally, am currently reading: mutiny on the bounty by two dudes whose names have slipped my memory and a picture book from the late 60's by farley mowat called canada north.
ocasionally enjoy short stories--v.g. for short attention spans. some all time favourites: the wonderful story of henry sugar(and 6 more)--roald dahl. the dragon and the dry goods princess: fractured prairie tales--david arnason.
recently have read: she's come undone--wally lamb. the time in between--david bergen. pride and prejudice--jane austen. emma--jane austen. the perfect storm--sebastian junger, a fine balance--rohinton mistry, white teeth--zadie smith, all families are psychotic--douglas coupland, sex in the snow--michael adams, olivia joules and the overactive imagination--helen fielding, made in america--bill bryson, animal dreams - barbara kingsolver, being there - jerzy kosinski. was recently into the autograph man--zadie smith, but i lost it. it was omly so-so anyway. and selling sickness by alan cassels and david moynihan but it was too dreadfully boring to pick up from where i kicked it under the bed.
