My main interests are DDR, Stepmania, films, fantasy books (especially long series), most of the usual american TV series, learning Japanese, playing on the 360/wii though I prefer the arcade games to the expensive ones, Livejournal
Most of my friends live in London and although I am hoping to move there soon I haven't found anywhere yet. So I'm open to meeting new people from around here, or London (especially if you have a room going on the kentish side), or anywhere really.Also if anyone wants to play Stepmania online sometime let me know.
My music tastes change depending on my mood and what's in my mp3 collection, which hasn't been updated much in recent years.Lately it's been a lot of Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen. But usually when I can be bothered to make a playlist its something along the lines of the following, depending on my mood: Foo Fighters, Green Day, Blink 182, Offspring, Finch, McFly, Busted, SClub7, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Jamie Cullum, Norah Jones, Ayumi Hamasaki, Hinoi Team, Pendulum, random anime themes or a load of swing or vocal/progressive trance or happy hardcore My Last.FM page
Favourite movies are Cruel Intentions, Moulin Rouge (and many other musicals), Shawshank Redemption, The Usual Suspects, Kill Bill vol 1 (didn't like 2 so much) and any clever/twisty/quirky films - like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Lucky Number Slevin, The Butterfly Effect. If it jumps around in time or shows multiple characters' versions of events or has a clever narration style I'm bound to love it. I also like all the classic girly films (Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing, When Harry Met Sally) as well as foreign cinema. I'm working my way through the classics and trying out slightly less mainstream titles rather than just the Crouching Tigers and Amelies of the world :) Any recommendations are welcome.
Heroes, Prison Break, The West Wing, Greys Anatomy, Frasier, The O.C., Alias, Lost, Scrubs, Family Guy, American Dad, Veronica Mars, Charmed, Eastenders, Big Brother, The 4400, Spooks, Hustle, Desperate Housewives, 24, One Tree Hill.
Recently read: Khaled Hosseini - The Kite Runner , F. Scott Fitzgerald - The Great Gatsby , Robert Jordan - New SpringCurrently reading: Leo Tolstoy - Anna Karenina , John Humphries - Lost for Words , Japanese for Busy People III mainly read fantasy series though I love books in general. Bookshops make me smile and people bending book covers and pages make me very angry. I keep buying books considered classics but have only recently got round to reading them because I keep getting involved in reading fantasy series (just finished all 11 books of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series plus the prequel. Desperately awaiting no. 12). I loved David Eddings - The Belgariad&Mallorean.One day I want a big library like in Beauty & The Beast, with a ladder that can wheel around the walls :) I also have a growing collection of odd books on punctuation and good grammar so that when I'm being pedantic I'm 100% certain I'm right. I also recently became the proud owner of a Sony Ebook Reader which I am filling up with all sorts of stuff :) If anyone has found a way for non-US citizens to get proper sony books on a reader please let me know :)
Yatta!
