Art...I like art!
I can't draw to save my life, but photography is my thinggg.
How're you doing on this fine ole' rainy monday? -
Haha, about what you said in the thread: Quintessence means Fifth Element, that of ether, apparently what the stars are made of in classical philosophy.
Also, as for animals: four pet reptiles, 3 snakes (milksnake, corn snake and royal/ball python) and a gecko (small, overweight and lazy but I love her <3). There's pics of most either in my profile or on the 'lookie my milksnake' thread in the Pets forum, lol.
And as for sci-fi, one question: Have you read anything by Iain. M. Banks?

- Death metal?! YAH! <3
And all those christmas songs I remember from when I was a kid which are utterly killer because that's the long gone past, but they're lovely, so what?
Epic classical music.
I'm largely a metal fan, but I don't conform to genre. I like what I like. It's epic. - Movies
- Pan's Labyrinth - utterly gorgeous film, yet so... I dunno. Sad. Yet happy.
Spirited Away.
Bad old cheesy horror films.
FUN horror films
Evolution
Ghostbusters
Shaun of the Dead
Ghostbusters
Anything silly and fun to watch. - Television
- Futurama
House
Simpsons
Big Bang Theory
Just anything trivial and escapist.
QI
Mock the Week
Bad old Sitcoms
90's TV!
I always watch the news and it makes me cry without fail, because I suspect that I might actually be an embarrassingly big softie under it all. I was a mess for DAYS when I heard about that school-shooting in Russia years ago, and the Haiti disaster and the tsunami? I shouldn't watch the news, plus the BBC is biased, but I can't help it. It makes me cry. But there's no point in blacking out the horror that happens sometimes. It's important to care. It's still there even if you don't. But no. I like to laugh. Anything that makes me giggle is a huuuuuuuge thumbs up in my book. - Games
- ONES WHERE YOU SHOOT ZOMBIES! HELL YAH!
- Books
- Philosophy books - Derrida, Foucault, Marcuse, Plato, Deleuze & Guattari, and many more. Kant. Descartes. I don't 100% agree with any of them, but that was never the point of philosophy.
Umberto Eco
Solzhenitsyn
Dostoevsky
Bulgakov
Italo Calvino
Jose Saramago
Steven Pinker
Ray Bradbury
Stephen King
Terry Pratchett <3
Yevgeny Zamyatin
Douglas Adams
Ian Banks
Primo Levi
Edgar Allen Poe
Stephen King
Clive Barker
And anything about philosophy, physics, neurology, psychology, existence, the evolution of life on earth, linguistics and just why people are like they are. People. I'm a massive Calvino and Dostoevsky and Bulgakov fan. And Bradbury. Bradbury can make me cry, and Calvino does... I dunno. I sincerely love, love, love, love Calvino. He is my BAAABYYY.
Um. Anyway. I love any old, battered, much read, much loved book anyone gives me. I live for old books. I lust after them. I visit the library weekly. I scout used book stores for old books that look like they were loved once. I love books.
On a pop culture level... seriously, seriously, seriously love Clive Barker. Fantastically open homosexual man, incredibly witty, seemingly incredibly intelligent and confident, and very, very human. He has a really fantastic imagination. Plus, he gave us the grotesquely-cool Hellraiser. Big Clive Baker fan <3 Also 129000% adore Terry Pratchett in everything he writes, lives and breathes. I'd spaz if I met him. Incredible man. And Stephen King, again, enviable imagination... and he seems like a very genuinely nice chap as well <3
Yes. I like les livres. - Heroes
- NIKOLA TESLA! HA!
The generic type - the whole unsung heroes thing and everything. Everyday people. Path making people. Terry Pratchett <3 Anyone who defends the innocents of this world. There aren't many of them, but they are incredible. People who have been through the worst of life and can still laugh at the absurdity of our existence. My parents. My mother, for always putting us first, and my father for struggling for everything he believes in. My grandfather, who at fossil age can still sit down and argue with me for hours. My siblings, for still believing in human goodness. My pets, for being my most loyal companions. My cat, who I saved and who has been my best animal friend ever since. Writers who put the existence of humanity into painfully truthful words. People who can make me laugh, no matter what. The philosophers who argued back against the done thing in their time and ours.
I think I get a bit sentimental. I owe my existence to so many people.
