Music is my primary interest. Both listening to, and writing it. I play guitar, keyboard, drums, program loops/samples/MIDI, and sing too (sometimes I rap). I'm also a pretty decent artist, but aren't that passionate about it anymore. I love to author text too, be it lyrics or stories. I can't really write poetry very well cos it always ends up rhyming. I like reading other's though. Oh, and of course, I love to read novels too. I love movies, especially when a good Aussie one is made. Comedy and sci-fi are my favourite genres. I am a giant technology-freak. I have to have the latest gadgets.

I was beaten up for it... today's kids do it to be cool.

Your Seduction Style: Fantasy Lover
You know that ideal love that each of us dreams of from childhood? That's you!
Not because you posess all of the ideal characteristics, but because you are a savvy shape shifter.
You have the uncanny ability to detect someone's particular fantasy... and make it you.
You inspire each person to be an idealist and passionate, and you make each moment memorable
Even a simple coffee date with you can be the most romantic moment of someone's life
By giving your date exactly what he or she desires, you quickly become the ideal lover.
Your abilities to make dreams come true is so strong, that you are often the love of many people's lives.
Your ex's (and even people you have simply met or been friends with) long to be yours.
No doubt you are the one others have dreamed of... your biggest challenge is finding *your* dream lover.
What Kind of Seducer Are You?
You're an Expert Kisser
You're a kissing pro, but it's all about quality and not quantity
You've perfected your kissing technique and can knock anyone's socks off
And you're adaptable, giving each partner what they crave
When it comes down to it, your kisses are truly unforgettable
What Kind of Kisser Are You?
Damn straight! Hey, if you read between the lines, don't these 2 quizes say pretty much the same thing? hmmm...
Your Love Style is Agape
You are a caring, kind, and selfless partner.
Unsurprisingly, your love style is the most rare.
You are willing to sacrfice your world for your sweetie.
Except it doesn't really feel like sacrifice to you.
For you, nothing feels better than giving to the one you love.
What's Your Love Style?
My Family Guy scene...
Quagmire: Hello, 911? It's Quagmire. Yeah, it's caught in the window this time.
Which Family Guy scene are you?
You scored as Earth-Child. You're a very peaceful person who has very strong beliefs. Others see you as spiritual, and you really are. You see magic as a resource to be used wisely. The earth really is your mother, and you'll remain close to her as long as you live.

EVERYBODY LIKES CHRIS
Written & Directed by Splatter Phoenix
Starring-
Chris Walker: Aspiring musician who somehow always manages to find himself involved in an amazing situation.
Papa Walker: A Bookseller, who gets the funniest lines on the show.
[Chris] I don't know what the hell is going on! It's been like this for over 24 hours!!
[Papa Walker] 24 hours!? It sounds like you're due a little self-relief, son!
Mama Walker: Does not have many lines on the show, but comes across as the smartest member of the Walker family. Instead of having funny lines, all of her lines are very intelligent.
Pinky: The next-door neighbor. We have to use her instead of The Dirty Old Man, because we want to avoid an MA15+ rating. Pinky is very similar to Chris, always finding herself in an unusual situation.
We won't have any problem getting the word out about the show. It will be carried by Network TEN, and they will run a commercial featuring people holding signs that say, "I LIKE CHRIS". Not only will that go along with the, "What I Like About You" station slogan, but some people will think that the signs say, "I LIKE CHRIST".
The, "Everybody Likes Chris" theme song will be performed by The Black Stars.
SPLATTER's Comment: The, "I LIKE CHRIST" comment was intended to be a poke at Network TEN and not Christianity, by the way. The network found themselves in much trouble when they promoted Everybody Hates Chris by showing someone showing a sign that read, "I Hate Chris". Many people commented that it looked like, "I Hate Christ".
J/K! I've been a musician since I was six, and writing complete songs since I was eleven, if you didn't know already, lol...
Also, I once told a mate that I'd rather work on a great song than have sex. 'Tis true to this date...
I have a bug in my system. Cancer simply won't install...

Movies:
Tron, Back To The Future, Final Fantasy, Shrek series, plus many more without CGI (especially Aussie ones, like Gettin' Square)
Television:
Ah... the ol' reliable idiot box. Having scored the highest grade in my school with 3 A+'s for Media Studies, I can't say I'm much of a fan. Especially with how the commercial stations in Australia are always jerking around the time-slots these days, I choose instead to download most shows I like off the Net. Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, and more recently, The Boondocks. Yep, American animated comedies. (Waiting patiently for an Arab/American one, and one about a family of Aussie Jewish folk that immigrate ...) The only shows I tune into on TV are also generally comedies, usually Australian or British.
Reality TV is a conundrum. Understand this. Although it may be labelled as 'reality' it is always edited by somebody, somewhere... at least it has improved in the last decade. Not 'reality', IMHO.Experiments conducted by researcher Herbert Krugman reveal that when a person watches television, brain activity switches from the left to the right hemisphere. The left hemisphere is the seat of logical thought. Here, information is broken down into its component parts and critically analyzed. The right brain, however, treats incoming data uncritically, processing information in wholes, leading to emotional, rather than logical responses. The shift from left to right brain activity also causes the release of endorphins, the body's own natural opiates - thus, it is possible to become physically addicted to watching television, a hypothesis borne out by numerous studies which have shown that very few people are able to kick the television habit. It's no longer an overstatement to note that the youth today that are raised and taught through network television are intellectually dead by their early teens.
Kick The Habit! Become the intellectual individual the Universe Creator wished you to be!!
Read a book for a change! Seriously.
Books:
To be brutally frank, my father is a bookseller who specialises in rare and antiquarian books. I have read books that you have never heard of, and probably never will. But I generally read 'em, enjoy 'em, and then forget about 'em. A constant companion of mine is my Pocket Oxford Dictionary that contains 3 languages - British English, Australian/NZ English, and American. Only some. Not much at all, generally just a few colloquialisms. It is very old. June 1979. This is actually a bonus, because it means that I can communicate with the elderly gooder.
*an ancient memory has just resurfaced...* :when my sister was a very small child, she asked a teacher how to spell a particular word. The teacher replied, "Look it up in the dictionary." Now, it may be just me, but that appears to be about the stupidest thing a teacher could say to a kid. Think about it.
Note: if you do not own a Pocket Dictionary of your country's most spoken language (in My case, Australian English), I recommend buying one. If you keep it by your side, it is quicker to access than the internet's version(s). It will also help you make the world think you are smarter than you actually are.
Heroes:
Jesus, I mean, c'mon! The dude died for humanity. You can't get more noble than that. (you thought I was blaspheming then, didn't you, you little monkey!)
The dude could turn H2O into booze at will. Who wouldn't wanna know a guy like that?! He pretty much single-handedly invented the filet-of-fish, and fed it to thousands of people with only a scrap of materials. Plus, he could traverse water without a hover-board. Way cool.
There are 2 ppl alive that I admire tremendously, whom I have never met. Both are Australian, and both write music. The 1st is Daniel Johns. (Yay! I've now met Daniel on MySpace!) The 2nd is Delta Goodrem. 1 male, 1 female. Aside from the fact that from what I have learnt about them from various media sources (obviously including their lyrics) they are incredibly beautiful people, I also admire their intense strength when faced with immeasurable adversity. You guys ROCK! You make me even more proud to be Australian!!
