Gods, *tons* of things interest me. Where to start? Well, I really dig the fantastical, particularly mythology and spirituality and the paranormal (just not the kitche kind). I love the idea that there is more to this life than we can detect with our five basic senses, although at the same time I’m highly skeptical of anyone who claims to know what that “more†is, exactly.
I love trivia, and I have been known to websurf tangentially for hours in pursuit of some niggling bit of information, to the point where I utterly fry my brain and have to have a lie down.
Oh, and in case it’s not apparent, I’m a raving Anglophile. Well, not “raving†perhaps, but I do quite like English things. One of my dreams is to one day be able to have homes both in Los Angeles and in England, and be able to travel between the two. Best of both worlds, and all that.
CURRENT RIDICULOUS PURSUIT: Attempting to cram every cool thing there is to do in Los Angeles into just six days.
