Music:

ALL KINDS! Seriously. I don't care about genre. If something sounds good, I'll listen to it and pimp it like a mofo. "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven is my favourite piece of music ever, though.

Movies:

LABYRINTH - Best. Film. Ever. Pretty much anything that Tim Burton has been involved in (with the possible exception of "Pee Wee..."). Aside from that, I'm pretty much the same with films as I am with music - Anything goes.

Television:

Music channels, History/Documentaries (I'm a historian and it's a *cool* thing). Friends, Eerie Indiana, Spaced...

Books:

Harry Potter, Black Maria, Witch Week, most Roald Dahl books, Stephen King books (especially The Stand and Carrie), Smoke and Mirrors + other Neil Gaiman stories, poetry, ancient literature.

Heroes:

My Grandma Rosie and Grandpa Hymie (R.I.P.), Mum, brother and sister, Bruce Lee, Freddie Mercury, Anyone who stands up for what is right, despite how slim the odds may be.
