I am particularly fond of sad and moody music. Shoegaze is my single favorite genre, but I listen to lots of indie stuff, punk sub-genres, glam, goth, ambient and experimental, prog, electronic and industrial, anything that leaves a deep emotional resonance-- and especially if melancholy, with a pretty melody. However, I also have a morbid fascination with the wicked and trashy. And sexy. My favorite bands change weekly, but I am always obsessed with them at the time. I love to talk about music, so feel free to ask, tell or comment.

Don't watch much... ok, I love Star Trek. Yes, that’s right, TOS, Enterprise, TNG, DS9, I am a complete and utter Star Trek nerd. Ok, there, I typed it. Voyager is my favorite. I play with toy phasers and make laser noises. I wonder why they didn't emit a tachyon field or how they invented inertial dampeners. 7 of 9 for president. Anyone else? Hello?
