I like lots of stuff including, but not limited to: White water rafting, Kung Fu, dogs, surfing, kung fu dogs, music, gaming, programming, sci-fi, fantasy, good westerns, boring 'about me' blurbs, bad (tasteful) jokes (usually the older they are or the lamer they are, the better ^^), rock, long romantic walks off of short sarcastic piers, whatnot and whathaveyou. I also really, really like magic- as in the art form; illusion, sleight of hand, mentalism, hellstromism, etc. The magicians who /really/ spend the time they need on their art are absolutely amazing. Even if you know (or think you know) how the illusion is performed, the amount of skill and precision and timing required is certainly nothing to shake a stick at (hahahaha i love that phrase... what's gonna happen if you /do/ shake a stick at it? *shakes stick* {poof} *disappears*
