I love to long distance run, dance, read, listen to music as many hours a day as possible, and horse racing.
I've met quite a few of those I admire including Depeche Mode, Alphaville, Erasure, Mesh, De/Vision, Iris, Pet Shop Boys, Melotron, and Duran. I was also lucky to meet Ralph Fiennes in June 2006 when I went to New York to see him on broadway in Faith Healer. I would still like to meet Trent Reznor as the bloody bastard has somehow managed to escape me so far.. I mean that in the most loving way of course. ;)

I really dislike television..I find it such a waste of time. I do of course love the history channel. Barring that, horse racing when it's on, and specials on my fav bands.As an aside, Six Feet Under was amazing.
Anything by Patrick McGrath, I loove his books.
When I was young I wanted to grow up to be a champion racehorse. (Hey, I was young!) I fell in love with the Australian champion Phar Lap after watching the movie as a kid. I also am very inspired by other racehorses such as Izvestia, Go For Wand, Ruffian, Secretariat, Barbaro, Easy Goer, and Sunday Silence. Now that I realize I can't be one, I've fallen in love with David Gahan. He's just inspiring. He always loves a good challenge, is incredibly open and honest, and sincerely loves performing.
