I'm a writer! I suppose I could sum it up very roughly by saying that my interests often fall into those things which are of the darkness - MUWAHAHAHAAA!
As a writer, I seek inspiration. I am a rather greedy creature; when I take an interest in something, I do so only for the sake of my own inspiration. In all things I look for an aspect of the darkness from which I may draw the black fires that fuel my tales. Yes, I am a monster... but I'm a pretty monster. â€
I love going for long walks at night, especially in the rain. The moonlight reflected in the drenched night... precious. I adore the sounds of rainswept drains and the wind in wet trees. Why does nobody else enjoy a good walk in the rain? Water doesn't hurt! Am I cursed to wander the night alone, under blackened clouds?
†The only being worth meeting, in my eyes, is God. He has powers over rainbow. One day I will meet Him, and together we shall contemplate the darkness and drink fine red wine (and some purple). Now don't get me wrong, I'm not the miserable sort - I'm rather gleeful, actually. Nonetheless, my deepest dream is to sit with God and watch the Fall of Mankind, as I sink into my own desolate, blood-drenched decadence. Ahh, that would make me giggle. My dollies will come with me; yes, they'd quite like that. We will have a tea party in Hell with Jesus. Until then, however, I would be content to meet (and drink with): Socrates (he knew his drinks), Plato (his drinks knew him), Aristotle (he talked to his drinks), Gustave Doré, Thomas Forsberg, Neil Gaiman, Marko Tapani Hietala, Tuomas Lauri Johannes Holopainen, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, H. G. Wells, Saint Thomas Aquinas (but only if I can get him extremely drunk), Charles Perrault, François-Marie Arouet (oh I'm so philosophyish), Eduard Eberle, Emily Dickinson, Napoléon Bonaparte, Sigmund Freud, Mestrius Plutarchus, Jorge Luis Borges, Arturo Pérez-Reverte, William Blake, Arjen Anthony Lucassen, Lord Byron, Hélène Blavatsky, Rudolf Steiner, Oscar Wilde, Dolly Wilde, William Butler Yeats, Michael John Moorcock (the moor the merrier), Øystein Aarseth, Mervyn Laurence Peake, Karl Marx, Franz Kafka, H.P. Lovecraft, Durante Degli Alighieri, Joseph Conrad, Mr Francisco Goya (especially in his 'nightmares'), Horace Walpole, Friedrich Nietzsche, Moshe ben Maimon, Scott Rickwood Taylor (though I doubt he'd acknowledge me, considering how self-absorbed he is), Sheridan Le Fanu, Neil Gaiman, Philippe Druillet, Alan Moore, Leonardo di Ser Piero da Vinci (oh I'm so fancy-shmancy), Aleister Crowley, John Milton... and most importantly of all, the Muffin Man. I'm sure there are others, but that'll do for now. Heck, I think that all the people I'd really like to meet are dead. If not, I'd rather do away with them first, as it makes for a much more interesting relationship. I'd then take their rainbow dust. But hey, death shouldn't stop me, eh? It hasn't in the past... â€

Well there should be more than that, but my fingers hurt.
†I only like films I've never seen before... so much more mystery!
†I'm a writer, why should I read books written by other people? â€
Actually, a luminous being once told me that a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, it should never be published at all. So when I write, I keep in mind the fact that I am a god. It makes sense...! Oh, and that being had eldritch rainbows of seething darkness, so he must have been a good chap.
†Allein zusammen! Er, I've always been more of a fan of villains, actually... yes, I like villains. Heroes are only born to die! Quite like puppies... †On that note, my bride isn't man enough to beat herself. As such, I'm forced to do it for her. ††â€
Oh, my only real and living hero is VOLTRON... none of those fleshy human things that fester inside him though, just the hulky metal parts... METAL LIKE MY SOUL!
