Stage Combat (I enjoy choreographing and performing fights in front of live audiences) Swords and martial arts, Fencing, theater (performing and attending), Star Wars and Sci-Fi, All types of music but primarily hard rock and metal. I play Guitar (Electric and Acoustic), bass, and keyboards, I have a small but growing collection of guitars, Computer Games (I have a World of Warcrack addiction but I'm fine, really!), composing music, digital recording, watching movies, Siberian Huskies, thunderstorms, vampires and mythological creatures (ever notice that every culture on earth has similar legends?) Things that go bump in the night, bumping back. I'm a very avid reader and will read almost anything that I can get my hands on. I particularly like fantasy, sci-fi and gothic fantasy fiction. Cooking. (Yes, I can cook, and I don't mean easy-mac in the nucro-wave.) Entertaining - I have a saying around here - come over to my place, I'll feed you. Cooking for one is almost a waste of time.

Friends mostly. So far Myspace has resulted in a couple of really great friendships and I'd like to see that trend continue. I also wouldn't mind meeting someone special but that will happen when it's supposed to happen.
Tons - you have no idea! Favorites Symphonic and progressive metal: KAMELOT! (going to see them twice this year!) Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, After Forever, At Vance, Conception, Ark, Bronx Casket Company. Guitar Virtuosos: Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Eric Sardinas, Yngwie Malmsteen. 80's hair metal: Ratt, Dokken, Warrant, the Crue. JUDAS PRIEST! Maiden, Metallica, Queensryche. Also enjoy classical music/composers - flamenco and spanish guitar music. ..I've got a couple of country CDs but those are few and far between in my collection.
Action films, dramas, good mysteries (ones where you don't know the outcome 5 minutes in.) Serenity, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Star Wars (even the bad ones) Shakespeare in Love, Last Samurai. Anything with a sword in it - well, as long as it's used well and the fight choreography doesn't suck.
Battlestar Galactica, Dresden Files, Food Network esp. Good Eats - not that I have time to watch TV much anyway.
Anything by Neil Gaiman but particularly Neverwhere, Neuromancer by William Gibson. Almost anything by Shakespeare. Anything I can get my hands on really. I love to read. Simon Green, Tales from the Nightside, The Dresden Chronicles, The Tuesday Next Series by Jasper Fforde. I've started reading the Anita Blake, Vampire Fucker.. er.. hunter novels.. I've been told the first few don't suck. I could make a giga-frigamongous list but why?
