You Are Grape
You are bold and a true individual. You are very different and very okay with that.
People know you as a straight shooter. You're very honest, even when the truth hurts.
You are also very grounded and practical. No one is going to sneak anything by you.
People enjoy your fresh approach to life. And it's this honesty that makes you a very innovative person.

Music:
Classic rock, Jazz, some country -- let's say it is kind of eclectic, and just leave it at that. No, really... let's.

Movies:
I am a huge fan of film noir, Universal Monsters, Akira Kurisawa, Humphrey Bogart, Fritz Lang, David Lean, William Goldman -- I could go all day here if I had to, so here's one extreme of the spectrum, kaiju:

Television:
I rarely, if ever, watch television any more, but if I do I like to watch classic science fiction shows, whatever happens to be on the Sci-Fi Channel at the time, the History Channel, Mystery, Biography, the news, and sporting events (mostly the Twins and the Vikings). My DVD and VHS collections, however, are growing to epic proportions.Go see a play already, dammit!!! :)

Just like Sisko, you have a very cool, collected manner. People depend on you everyday for good advice. Sometimes, you know something's coming when everyone else doesn't. You must love baseball, or a sport of some kind!!! You are the one who'll jump into the battle and fight hand-to-hand, proving that you are the ultimate Warrior Captain!
