Music, in a big way, mostly goth/EBM/darkwave as well as viking/folk/black metal..also seem to be doing a lot of punk lately - mostly going to gigs. See the music section for more.
Warhammer 40k!!!! - am on my 4th army now - just started with Black Templars. Also have 4000pts Orks, 2000pts Daemonhunters, 2500pts Necrons...Sad, but good clean INTELLIGENT fun - and it gets me outta the house.
I also like bingo - don't laugh; not played for ages tho :-( I dunno how the grannies stand the tension, they must have nerves of steel!
When the mood takes me, which isn't often enough, but I can feel a spate coming on, I like to paint. Am totally incapable of painting on anything other than a black background tho, so I think one of my biker jackets is gonna get a treatment pretty soon. Also have no imagination, by I can copy like you wouldn't believe. Subject matter will be dark/gothy and will artwork by kind permission of s2tsdoodles, the originator of said piece - thank you for being cherub enough to grant me your permission!!
I like to read, but I think there's another section which covers that so, like my musical interests, I'll do a bit more detail there.
I currently enjoy spending time with my other half; a sweet lil punk munkey with a temper even bigger than his ego - if you know him, then you'll know how true this is ;-) Uncoof Yoof that he is, just gotta love him :-)
I'd like to meet:
DEVVO, so I can bang the CHAV TOSSA OUT!
..
Probably Johnny Depp, coz he needs an eccentric, English, adult, female like me, to make his life complete :-)
I'd happily swap Johnny Depp for Pete Steele tho...my life wot a man!! Would also consider Glenn Danzig if he was a bit taller ;-)
Or these stunning boys, CNK (or Cosa Nostra Klub...formerly Count Nosferatu Kommando) - I LOVE this band:
(That's just in case they don't add me :-)) update, they did :-)
I challenge anyone in a BAD MOOD to NOT enjoy "Get A Gun, Shoot At Random". Click it, go listen..do your headache a favour!

Oh my! Where do I start?
I'm old, but music has always been an important backdrop to my life, from listening to Jimmy Saville on Radio 1 on Sunday morning with my mom (they used to play stuff from the beginning of time, namely 1950's and 60's :)) right up to now where I seem to be surrounded by metallers and EBM/darkwave fiends.
I'm just a goth at heart, with many musical influences from other genres.
Was lucky enough to see the onset of true punk, "The Sex Pistols", "The Clash", "The Damned" and later "The Dead Kennedys", "GBH" and "Exploited" were the soundtrack to my younger years - mainly thru the stuff my friends' older brothers were listening to. I'm sorry, but "Greenday" just haven't got what it takes to be called punk by my generation but I woud say that "The Offspring" have tho :-)
I went thru' the ska revival in the 80s as a very young fan of "2-tone" and still love "The Beat" and "The Specials" etc. Then I found "Visage" and my life kinda changed after that...they were called "Blitz Kids" then, not "New Romantics"....from that I evolved to goth - a natural progression - and have kinda stuck with it.
Spose I need to do the "list your bands" thing..ok, here goes:
From my childhood, I still love: The Doors, The Zombies, Anything of the Motown kind, old rock n roll and the big-band stuff from Glenn Miller. There's also Black Sabbath to include here; my parents used to have the odd beatnik party and play Sabbath all night. Then theres:
After this is:
And:
AND loads of nu-metal and nu-goth, interspersed with classic rock and cheesy hair metal can be heard here at various times of the day.
I've missed out LOADS of bands...believe me there are soooo many more.
I also like to have my eardrums assaulted by rap, hip-hop and some RnB.
My current absolute favourites are Kamelot, (glorious vocal), Tumour UK (glorious dark depths) and local band, Anaal Nathrakh, (absolutely superbly NECRO METAL). i don't like sloppy music and I can't stand jazz.
My classical collection is small but growing, and consists mostly of JS Bach's harpsichord concertos, medieval chamber music and Gregorian chant:

This is what I've been listening to recently - the stuff that plays thru winamp anyway - doesn't include the tracks I've heard on myspace tho'.If there's any rubbish on this list like "pantera" or "machinehead" it's coz my son has been playing dodgy music thru my lappy, or Edd has been playing something sketchy. Something tells me I should change my passwords for this machine AND show them how to get their own winamp playlists! Fappin kids!

METAL
Hefty French Black Metal - Not for the feint-hearted! Count Nosferatu Kommando
Brum's own masters of brutal death / grind! Life Denied
Experimental and evocative metal - with surprises! Tumour UK
Experimental / Progressive Metal - deep n moody! Nodrah Evissam
Total fcking NECRO - go on, do it to yourself! Anaal Nathrakh
Death / Thrash from Leicester. Fab band. Black River Project
Vocals to die for! More commercial than those above, but still fabulous! Kamelot
CoB influence is heavy, but these lads and lass need to be mentioned here. Musta Talvi
PUNK
Horror punk at it's best from my local luvlies! Obnoxious UK
Damn fine punk that is intelligent and fun. 3CR
Good ol Brummy punk at it's best! Rotunda
Movies:
Not so many of these, not really a movie fiend.
Into sci-fi and psychological horror as well as old hammer films. I also like car films and cartoons. I collect "Asia Extreme" and "Hong Kong Cinema" dvds.
Some of my favourites:
Create your own Movie List @ HotFreeLayouts!
Looks like a lot, but compared to some of my friends, I'm really not into films, especially those based on books or games, they're just never as good as the original, or your own imagination....saying that tho' the Doom and Res Evil films are absolutely perfect!!
I LOVE this little vid; put together my my son's mate, REAPER (search on youtube.com for reaperreaperreaper to see his other stuff!). Film clip is from "The Punisher", music is Count Nosferatu Kommando's "Get a Gun, Shoot At Random" - one of my favourite bands/songs ever!
..
Television:
Television is the medium for mushrooms and cabbages; those who like to be kept in the dark and fed loads of ********, and to feel that life is leafy and green.
Eastenders, The History Channel, and all of my cable music channels; yes I admit to quite liking Kerrang!, but I wish I could get Scuzz as well.
That's about it on the TV front.
This is better than TV: ..
Books:
Oh so many!
Again it's sci-fi or more often sci-fantasy that gets me; I like the pure escapism. Having very little of my own imagination means that I can truly appreciate the work of more enlightened imaginative creatures than I :¬)
Some of my favourites: Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, 10 books so far, plus a prequel, and still no sign of a conclusion. John Norman's Gor series, 26 books the last time I looked; all about an alternate universe, female slavery and huge great warriors....wonderful! Men are men and women are at the men's feet, on furs if they're lucky. Fab :¬) Anne Rice - obviously. David Eddings - The Belgariad, what more can I say? Frank Herbert's Dune series. After his death, Herbert's son Brian and friend Kevin Anderson used some original notes to put together a prequel series of books for the Dune universe, these totally enhance the original story and give the whole saga such amazing "padding". Terry Pratchett - Discworld Series- incredibly funny, incredibly well written, incredibly intelligent observation of humanity and everything else. Any series that goes on for more than three books is fine by me. Marion Zimmer-Bradley's Avalon series; beautiful. Oh, and to completely go against the grain, Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons are absolutely cracking stories. Dan Brown writes like a fast car ride; you know you've gotta stop, but you dunno when you can. I couldn't put these books down till I'd finished. Lev Grossman's The Codex - a book about a book that could also be a game - combines history with mystery and a game programmer with Asperger's Syndrome; this was an excellent book. C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia - I retire to this when I need to regenerate completely. Tolkein - The absolute master of them all. Poets - Byron, Keats and to some extent Shelley, but Lord Byron has to be "the daddy" of goth peotry.
Again I've missed loads out. If you can think of any authors or series that you'd like to recommend to me, then please do, I'm always up for an interesting read and you can't beat a good recommendation sometimes.
I'm a practical person at heart, if I need to read a reference book I will, and frequently do, but those above are my total favourites in terms of getting away from reality; something I like to do because, let's face it, life can be pretty dull.
Heroes:
I don't believe in hero worship, so this is just to say how much friends and family mean to me. This includes the people I've known for years AND the people I'm getting to know as I go along. I see you all as heroes for putting up with me - you all make an old burd very happy.
