Terry Pratchett (Discworld) books, Special & vis effects for film, film, paintball, "socialising in the local club/pub/etc" -- put what you will to that, usually involves a bit of alcohol tho, lol! I also seem to have an attraction for shiny things and alternative music...
My Grandfather. He sounded interesting. And Douglas Adams -- just to see what was going on in his head....hey, how come all the people i want to meet are dead...?
Here's some random quizzes I took:
You Are 82% Evil
You're the most evil person you know.
The devil is even a little scared of you!

You Are 90% Weird
You're more than quirky, you're downright strange.
But you're also strangely compelling, like a cult leader.

i could just write a list, but that gets boring. let's just say....eclectic. you know. on one hand i like Nine Inch Nails and Incubus....on the other I like Sublime and Killswitch Engaged. I'm an ex-goth, ex-hippy, ex-raver mosher type. Go figure....
I DESPISE David Lynch films (exl. Dune) and Tarantino films. Don't get me wrong, they've got talent and worked really hard to get where they are, so respect, but their stuff usually doesn't appeal to me. I have a problem with gratuitous sex and violence for no apparent reason. However, having said that I loved Fight Club (but the sex and violence in that had catharsis at least). I like Fincher, on the fence over Lucas of recent, but Lucas of old is sweet. And Jackson -- you have to love the fact that he went from directing films about zombie monkies and babies to directing Lord of the Rings!!
I don't watch much anymore, but when I do, it's usually Futurama, Simpsons, Family Guy, or some sort of comedy. Though i have a tendency to get sucked into the news whenever there's nothing on.
Well...i've said it. Pratchet. Discworld. Adams. Hitchhikers ;) also I like Vonnegut and Robert Rankin (sex, drugs and sausage rolls anyone?). Though it must be said i can't stand anything to do with 19th century feminists, especially male ones...ick.... having said that, that's what they made me read all those years ago in school...
You know...apart from that whole not being able to touch anyone thing, Rogue from the X-Men. Or possibly X23. What a geek answer! But would like to be able to sing like Poe, have the creativity of the Aquabats, and pull off that 1930s look with my hair. but it ain't going to happen. oh well!
