Hardcore punk (dancing, diving, singing along), skating (shredding as best as my hobbled knee can shred), wargaming (painting, modeling, killing shit in a figurative sense), biking (freedom of the open road), road tripping (seeing the country in a fuel efficient car), and vegan food.I like dark miserable movies about people making really bad decisions - the kind that make your stomach turn.
Other straight edge punks. Vegans and vegetarians. People who'd rather do it DIY than have someone hand it to them. Cute short haired ladies into cool youthful interests akin to mine.

Magazines: I read Maximumrocknroll and White Dwarf every month.
This is a term I am uncomfortable with. I look up to and highly respect many of my friends and peers more than the "traditional" heroes.
