I have been an avid reader since before the first grade. I vividly
remember reading all the Nancy Drew mystery novels, the Tombson
Twins, as well as the Three Investigators; all mystery novels, all
by the time I was in second grade. I've been a member of the
Science Fiction Book Club now for over 15 years, no small feat, so
my collection is easily several hundred books, primarily sci-fi and
fantasy, though there is a bit of history, some science, and most
definately art books from famous sci-fi/fantasy artists.
As for music, I prefer new age and interestingly enough 80s and
metal bands, preferably finnish and goth, in the flavor of
Savatage, Epica, Kamelot, Leave's Eyes, Nightwish, and Sonata
Artica.
I love movies, specifically fantasy and sci-fi, with the occasional
mix of thrillers and mysteries. I have over 1500 DVDs in my movie
collection and that doesn't count the netflix movies I rent. My
inner child especially loves the Harry Potter films, while my older
hardened adventurous self gleams the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I
don't mind horror movies, but don't really like to watch them alone
as there is no one to share the excitement with, or for that matter
to hold me when I'm scared silly. Comedies are also a favorate of
mine as I love to laugh and I'm told that my laughter is
contageous!
I'm definately a sci-fi geek! I love StarTrek more then StarWars
(though I'm still a StarWars geek!) and absolutely love the
Stargate series, both the movie and the TV series, Stargate SG1 and
Atlantis. I loved Serenity, Farscape, and Babylon 5 while they were
on and wish the the first two would have had a chance to run their
courses like Babylon did.
I also love anime and manga, I find that the japanese are able to
tell stories through their animation and manga styles that rival
anything Hollywood is able to put out and take great enjoyment in
watching them.
As for favorite foods, well it's not too hard to guess that asian
cooking, primarily Japanese, is my favorate. Nothing beats the
sushi bar with friends, though occasionally I do enjoy some home
cooked Mediteranian food.
