Ganked from a couple of people:

1 Scan my interest list and pick out the one that seems the most odd to you.

2 I'll explain it.

3 Then you post this in your journal so other people can ask you about your interests.


I'm just on a quick 5 minute break right now, so ask away but I probably won't respond 'til later tonight. That's also when I'll be perusing the rest of y'alls interests to ask about them...

None of them are probably all that interesting...
Mason Jennings, Toby Keith, Trick Pony & Uncle Kracker are all musicians (although hellbob would argue that...).
Mason does a lot of acoustic stuff, kinda folksy
Toby Keith & Trick Pony are both country. They do a lot of faster more rocking music, not so much ballady stuff
And Uncle Kracker... One of my guilty pleasures is the Detroit White Trash Rock/Rap. Kracker got his start with Kid Rock & has now released 3 solo albums. I just totally love his voice. I'm musically retarded so I couldn't say what it is exactly, I just know I like it! I drove to Grand Casino Hinkley by myself after work a year & a half ago to go see him perform. Not many artists I'd be willing to do that for.

The Shield: this is the tv show on FX. It's a cop drama, but the cops aren't all squeaky clean & scrupulous, to say the least. I had heard good things about it but I was prepared to not be impressed because Michael Chiklis was the Commish for god's sake. He couldn't play a bad guy. But his acting just totally blew me away. Plus, I'm a sucker for a good cop drama.

Bordertown: series of books by Will Shetterly. the bordertown is actually the border between Faerie & the real world so it's got lots of cool mixtures of technology & magic.

Icons: Little 100 x 100 pieces of art that portray your mood, interests, personality. They're fun to make & give me an excuse to play with Photoshop & Image Ready!

Terry Moore: Artist & writer of Strangers in Paradise. Actually draws realistic women. He may just be a woman trapped in a man's body.

ocean waves: I've only actually seen the ocean 3 times in my entire life (twice in Los Angeles and our trip to Washington State last year) and the first time was when I was 32 years old. It is just so cool & huge & the waves have a life of their own.

James Marsters & Mutant Enemy: This is the Buffy fangirl in me. M.E. is Joss's production company for Buffy, Angel, & Firefly. James plays Spike on the shows. He is HOT. (although he would be more so without the annoying bleached blond.) David Boreanez who plays Angel is also HOT. I want them both.

Actually Terri Windling created the Bordertown setting and edited a number of anthologies. Will Shetterly wrote 2 excellent novels and Emma Bull wrote 1 (that I'm aware of) in the same setting.

I haven't read any of the Terri Windling stuff, but I'm eager to find some.

ocean waves: I've only actually seen the ocean 3 times in my entire life (twice in Los Angeles and our trip to Washington State last year) and the first time was when I was 32 years old. It is just so cool & huge & the waves have a life of their own.

I've only seen it once as a kid, on a family road trip to Alaska. The tide was going out as my brother and I stood on the beach. There was a tiny tip of rock about two yards from dry land that just barely poked out of the water when we got there.

After a while the water receded enough that I could jump out to the rock. There was now just enough exposed rock to stand on. I crouched on the rock as the sea drained away around me. After a while I jumped off the huge boulder and walked back on dry ground.

I was amazed that something so horizon-to-horizon huge could move like that.
