posting random and obnoxious stuff on my real blog:
the Statistical Improbability of My Existence
'people' with brains...and a snarky sense of humor. 'people' who share my addictions...but don't act like pre-pubescent girls about them. 'people' with the same distaste for excessive exclamation points...and understand the actual difference between appropriate and excessive.
I won't go so far as to demand you be a carbon-based lifeform....but I'd prefer you to not have any intention of converting Earth's atmosphere to methane.
That would be impolite.
My score on The Glam Rock Guru Test :
Ziggy Stardust

Give my regards to Weird and Gilly! And the Spiders from Mars!You must be lefthanded, you glam rock star, you. You have the supreme honor of being in the catagory of "Glam Rock God(ess)". So, keep on boogien' with your well hung self and remember, you really are voodoo.Life is always better with a little glitter.

I'm fairly certain my life would be nigh unbearable without music. As for attempting to sum up my musical tastes in a neat little list....I could definitely, most happily, live without that.
I like nerdy stuff. And pirates. And freaks. And snarky humor. And magick. And mind-melting, half-ass attempts at science. And melodrama.
Oh, and Johnny Depp. Most anything can be made better with a good dose of Johnny Depp...
Storytelling quality and escapism-potential are far more important than any particular subject or style.
That having been said, I despise Quentin Tarantino. Deal with it.
Again with the lists....Stargate SG1, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Da Vinci's Inquest, Wonderfalls, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Invader Zim, Freakazoid, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, House, umm....did I mention Stargate? Yeah, okay....Monty Python's Flying Circus....far too many shows than can possibly be healthy....oh, can't forget Xena....yep, I'm a nerd
Now this is a subject I could write about endlessly. I LOVE books....and I'm particularly attached to specific authors.
Oscar Wilde
J.M. Barrie
Lewis Carroll
Charles Baudelaire
Edgar Poe
Anne Rice
Neil Gaiman
Terry Pratchett
(speaking of the above two authors...read "Good Omens")
Frank Herbert
Shakespeare - but I think Sir Francis Bacon was the real author
the Marquis de Sade
Hmm, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Other names will occur to me right as I fall asleep, more than likely jolting me awake with this weird need to write something down.
As for style and subject matter, I tend to decide whether I like a book before I finish the first page, and there are only a few styles and subjects I avidly avoid. With the exception of Harry Potter, I tend to assume it's worthless crap if sold at Wal-Mart....so no mainstream best-sellers along the lines of Stephen King for me. I don't recall ever having willingly read anything sports related, romance novels bore me to death, and in a display of the worst kind of nerd-blasphemy, I find J.R.R. Tolkein's writing style to be physically painful to read.
hahaha...heroes....yeah, right...
Depending upon which part of my personality feels like expounding upon the vague concept of 'heroes', you'll get slightly different answers. The cynic in me staunchly believes thus: Humans are, by their very nature, egomaniacal idiots. Manage to get ahold of my inner idealist and you'll be told this: Humans are, by their very nature, egomaniacal idiots...but there are very rare exceptions.
