philosophy, religious studies, politics, arguing, snakes, anything besides cars and hunting/fishing can hold my attention for quite a while.
Some new friends who will talk to me, and not just add me to boost their number of friends! Anyone who can hold a conversation and talk about themselves (I like listening to other people, MUCH more than talking), but who is still considerate isn't too much to ask for, is it?
I like just about everything, really. I'm not too keen on techno or typical DDR/ITG songs (unless I'm actually playing the game). If you don't know what they are, you don't have anything to worry about. My roots are in rock, so that's where my car radio is most often tuned. I like hearing new music, and I love classical music done in modern, electric instruments. Think Trans-Siberian Orchestra, or Bond - if you've heard of them. Anything that isn't mainstream, but still pretty and well-done is often well-received by me.
Okay, I'll admit it: I tolerate romantic comedies just as much as the next person. They are preferred to action movies and horror flicks. But a deeper movie, or one centered on a different emotion, takes me further into it. That means I'll like it a LOT more. But among my favorites are "The Never-Ending Story" and "The Labyrinth" - that gets the fantasy genre, I suppose. I love old movies, too. Just don't ask me to watch a thriller, or a cheesy 80's action movie. It's rare that I'll accept, and if I want to watch either, I'll do it on my own.
I like "Will & Grace" and watched a series that got promptly cancelled called "Wonderfalls" in one weekend. I also liked "Gilmore Girls" a lot. So basically, I'm not into primetime drama like "24" or "Desperate Housewives" or anything. And the only reality show I ever liked was during my MTV phase (The Real World).
I like reading fiction books, though fantasy is hard for me to get into. Suspense novels drive me mad, and overly emotional novels make me nauseous. I like quick, witty dialogue, which allows for a series about a girl named Georgia Nicolson to be a favorite. I do like my fictions to totally screw with my head, though. I was lucky enough to find one of those in Nashville this summer called The Effect of Living Backwards. It was fabulous. I like reading histories and learning odd facts about things, as long as they're written like a story, not a shower of facts. I typically don't jump on bandwagons with books, so if a lot of people are reading it, I probably am not.
