Favorite Genre: Sorta Culty stuff, I guess, but so long as it's not a chick-flick, horror, or gross-a-rama, I generally like it. I prefer the movies that you can't easily fit into one or two genres....

Songs I hate: the "Milkshake" song; "It's getting hot in here"; "Save a horse"; etc...Anything inherently and blatantly vulgar.
Guilty Pleasure: Disney Tracks, Yehuda Hanani (classical), although those aren't really guilty....
Songs I repeat the most: A crazy-wild mix; sorta heavy-mellow stuff. It's wierd, but I love it and can listen to it at any time (very good for when I can't think of what I want to listen to...)

Favorite Authors: Jim Butcher, Terry Prachett, Patricia Briggs, Neil Gaiman, Tanya Huff, Tolkien, Mercedes Lackey, Robert Asprin, Ellen Kushner, Roald Dahl, etc, etc, so on and so forth.....
Favorite Genres: Fantasy! Science Fiction is great, too, though, if it's not too technical.
Favorite Characters: At the moment? Harry Dresden from Jim Butcher's "The Dresden Files." He kicks butt. Lots of it. Often his own.
Favorite Quotes: "From the celestial heights, the arbitrary acts of life seem patterened like a fairy-tale landscape, populated by charming and eccentric figures.The glittering observers require vital doses of joy and pain, sudden reversals of fortune, dire portents, and untimely deaths. Life itself proceeds in its unpredictable infinite patterns --so unlike the measured dance of stars -- until, for the satisfaction of their entertainment, the watchers choose a point at which to stop." --Ellen Kushner; "Swordspoint"
Recent Reads: I'm in the middle of re-reading the Dresden Files. Sensing a theme, here? Just maybe...
