You Are Apple Red
You're never one to take life too seriously, and because of it, you're a ton of fun.
And although you have a great sense of humor, you are never superficial.
Deep and caring, you do like to get to the core of people - to understand them well.
However, any probing you do is light hearted and fun, sometimes causing people to misjudge you. What Color Red Are You?

One of my favourite journeys (i usually get to meet interesting people every day): ..

Music:

Skinny Puppy, the Cure, KMFDM, NIN, Ministry, Rammstein, SOAD, Slipknot, Finntroll, Flametal general industrial/gothic, Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart and other classical - world (columbian, brazilian, variety of african etc.) Bob Marley, most anything with good percussion/low end...and generally songs that don't suck

Movies:

lots, documentaries - all kinds, horror, mystery, sci-fi/fantasy and others that don't suck

Television:

Dr. Who, the Prisoner, e-ring (was cool), alias (was cool at first), sometimes CSI, usually TVO, CBC/CBC Newsworld, OLN, documentaries, some sports and extreme sports

Books:

ancient mystery, religion, philosophy, civilizations, pop culture, recently discovered Pickover - pretty cool - mostly non-fiction with some fiction time to time...Dr. Seuss..well he's written some cool stuff

Heroes:

David Suzuki, Nelson Mandela, my parents, Ray Anderson, and those who think about the environment and do something about it...

book on CD -- cool --
