To start this off, I just want to tell you that Journals are VERY difficult for me. However, I'll try to post a new journal entry every day. Ha, ha! Yeah, right...

Anywho...I guess I'll just start off with stuff I like...

I. General.

1. Reading. You can't be a good writer unless you read.

2. Writing. Ahem...

3. Video Games. No, not stuff like Call of Duty and Halo. Actually fun stuff like RPG's, Flash Games, and text adventures (that's right, bitches. text adventures.).

4. Climbing Stuff. Especially trees. Those are fun to climb.

5. Drawing. Brom has greatly affected me in my drawing style, in the idea that his art is both dark and beautiful.

6. Friends. They are amazing.

7. Abstract mathematics. Not Algebra. But Geometry and Topology are freakin' AWESOME!!!

II. Books.

1. Keys to the Kingdom-Garth Nix

2. The Plucker- Brom

3. Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit-J.R.R Tolkein

4. Harry Potter- J.K. Rowling

5. Bradbury's Stuff

6. Artemis Fowl- Eoin Colfer

7. Septimus Heap- Angie Sage

8. Death Note- Tsugumi Ohba/ Takeshi Obata

9. Flatland- Edwin A. Abbot

10. The Outsiders- S.E. Hinton

(There are others, but writing them all would block the Tubes)

III. Video Games

1. Kingdom Hearts 1&2 (sorry, 1/2 is lame... and I still need a DS, so judgement on 358/2 days is pending.)

2. Final Fantasy X & X-2

3. Final Fantasy VII

4. The Suffering 1&2 (fascinating game...)

5. N Way of the Ninja (most addictive game ever...)

6. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

IV. Music

1. Nirvana (I would go gay for Kurt Cobain.... and I'm man enough to admit it.)

2. The Beatles (amazing, classic band.)

3. Dragonforce (their songs are repetitve, but still...)

4. The Weepies (not many people have heard of them.)

5. The White Stripes (also a great band... and if you only have heard Seven Nation Army, you're not a real fan.

6. Social Distortion (they are AMAZING!!! And definitely underrated. They should be far more popular than they are.)

7. Mindless Self Indulgence (a little different.)

8. Birthday Massacre (good band as well.)

V. Shows.

1. That 70's Show

2. House

3. Corner Gas

4. Bones

5. Saturday Night Live (but Andy Samberg is the only funny one anymore.)

VI. Comedians

1. Andy Samberg

2. Dane Cook

3. Jeff Dunham

That's all the stuff I like... don't really care whether or not you care about whether or not I care about whether or not you care about my interests.

So... that's about it...
