Music, Manga/Anime, playing my guitar if that doesn't already belong in the "music" category. Books, I read em sometimes, mostly Pratchett. AikiDo, lots of other martial arts as well. Er. That's about it, I guess. ^^
Akira Toriyama, Bill Steer, Jeff Walker, Ken Owen, Terry Pratchett, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Kane Hodder, a whole bunch of people, really. But I already feel as if I've already met them through their work.

Friday The 13th. For me the best films ever made. After that, The Monty Python Trilogy, Yojimbo, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, Nosferatu, George Romero's Dead Trilogy, Evil Dead Trilogy...Oh, and the Japanese masters Takashi Miike, Takeshi Kitano and Akira Kurosawa. Haven't found ONE of their movies that sucked. If you wish you can help me find it. ^^
It's all about the Monty Pythons. Also: Fawlty Towers, Black Adder, Only Fools And Horses, Men Behaving Badly, The Addams Family (original cca. '64), Married...With Children, [scrubs], Oz, Third Rock From The Sun, Star Trek, CN cartoons (Ed, Edd & Eddy, The Grim Adventures Of Billy And Mandy, Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, Johnny Bravo, Justice Friends, METALOCALYPSE, Korgoth, Robot Chicken...others too).
Eh books...my favourite writer of all times is definitely Terry Pratchett. His books provide amusement for me to no end. All of his books are my favourite. Also, I have to mention another great writer, namely George Martin. His A Song Of Ice And Fire series is simply amazing. Love it.
Heroes, eh? Well, some of you may think this is kinda stupid, but my hero has always been Son Gokou, from the Anime Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama. Yeah, I've tried to model myself as much as I could to Gokou's persona. Not copying him, of course, but more on the lines of building my character in the right direction ^^
