My interests are varies and general. In large part its helping, every once in a while, I'll do some volunteer work with my church. Internet, meeting people, reading, debate and philosophy are in the mix too.
Vibrant and witty, full of life, stakes a lot on their integrity.
Pretty much anything, with the exception of some forms of music particularly RAP which tries to pass itself off as music, when its actually poetry but to bass chords. Also any form of music that sounds like jumbled noise is off limits, other than R&B, most hip hop, rock, jive and most musicians in general are A-OK in my books.
No real favorites. I'm a sucker for lighter flicks of any genre, don't like too much seriousness, unless it really serves the movie well. - some favorites include dogma, cars, last samurai, roger rabbit, etc.
Same as a above. - like watching CSI (reruns mostly) - oddly enough I tend to like most anime shows (japanese anime with god story lines that don't sound odd, or at least explain their premise well are fine)
Most fantasy and sci-fi books fit here. Piers Anthony's Xanth, Margaret Atwood's Dragon Rider of Pern series.. etc.
Never, really put one there. I tend to think of a hero that does something about it.. It can be whatever non-optimal situation to a better one. Fire-fighhters, volunteer brigades of all types, people that act tirelessly to achieve a result no matter how hard... these are the people that make things go right in our world.
