I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

World of Warcraft, of course. Really getting into Phantasy Star Universe on the Xbox 360. Wii Sports is excellent as well, I'm working on my bowling score. Latest board games: getting my ass kicked on Battle Lore, kicking ass at Ticket to Ride, straining my brain at Blokus, and learning how to play Prophecy. Just started a new DnD game with the regular group, having tons of fun playing a teenage cleric!
Music, guitar playing, dancing.
Books, of course.
Various and sundry other things too numerous to mention.

Music:

Lately, I've been listening with great enjoyment to KBAQ ! Pandora is still the best online music source ever, but I'm working on a new playlist, so watch this space!

Television:

I know not of this "television" of which you speak...

Books:

View my Library Thing Profile . See also my Goodreads Profile .

Heroes:

New hero today - this amazing kid at DDR. Of course, I might be good at DDR if I weren't so intimidated by it...
Oh, and Daphne.
