Going to gigs, listening to music, reading, doodling, making things, using PhotoStudio, watching films, spending far too long on the internet, obsessing over Tim Burton like you wouldn't believe and sleeping.
Really nice people, preferably those that are a little eccentric. It helps if you are on the same wavelength as me. If you do friend request me please send me a little message at the same time.

Edgar Allan Poe, Roald Dahl, Lemony Snicket, Jules Verne and any books by or pertaining to Tim Burton including The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and other stories. But mainly I love Edgar Allan Poe as far as well-known authors go. If you haven't read The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, The Black Cat or The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether, then you should do so right this second!
