These are a few of my favourite things
Books: 1984, Flashman series, The French Lieutenant's Woman,
Pratchett, Hunter S Thompson, He Died with a Felafel in his Hand (I
think I recognise one or two housemates)
Movies: La Vita e Bella, Lock Stock and etc, Donny Darko.
Music: Wierd Al, They Might Be Giants, Fred Astereo, Franz
Ferdinand, David Bowie, Daft Punk, Depeche Mode, David Bowie (Ziggy
Stardust era), Theory of a Deadman, Martina Topley Bird, Tom
Lehrer, The Cranberries, David Bowie(*.* era), Moloko, Moby, Beck,
Machine Gun Fellatio, Midnight Oil and last but not least, David
Bowie.
Food: Mashed potatoes in specific, and non-moving in general.
Pens : I'd be lost without my packs of cheap-but-decent-quality
blue pens. How would I write my shifts down?
Addendum: After reading a few of the tests, texts and testees (or
should that be testes?), I also highly value my red pen.
Hats: The more incongruous, the better.
Too many things to mention, but if it's a bit weirder than average,
decent chance I like it. Or loathe it to the depths of my twisted
little soul. It's the dualism of the soul, expressed by the
intellect.
Dislike list:
Well!
Anne Rice: silly girl should be hung, drawn and quartered, for
inspiring new age faux vampirism (or at least pointed at a college
where she could learn to stretch her writing style from "powerful
beautiful immortals who cry themselves to sleep because they can't
eat mud cake! Hahaha take that! You might live forever, but I'll
die happy and full of the most delicious type of cake"). Not to
mention for her claims of 'inventing' the vampire.
Metallica: A lot of Metallica is good. A lot of Metallica is the
same song, with longer solos. A lot of Metallica is playing up to
"we so hard" image, of a few fellows playing instruments, and
growling. Ambivalence is a good thing.
People who babytalk to animals (or babies).
People who babytalk to animals, and throw swear words into the
mix.
Extrapolate that as you will.
