Favorite: 5 Rock Bands

5. Franz Ferdinand
Quirky as they are and ever-developing in their music, this band is never a boring listen-to. They can raise your spirits with their energy and vocal-musical chemistry.

4. Queens of the Stone Age
A dark, sexual band that is oddly never "too much" or repulsive. If you see them coming in a live concert, leave your inhibitions at the door and caress the beast inside.

3. Led Zeppelin
With the most unique voice in rock and the best guitar, it's hard not to have Zep on my list. As interesting as ever and still so damn influential. I can listen to them on any day and their music will fit.

2. Muse
My cosmic outlet. Muse makes you want there to be extraterrestrials, apocalypse, and most importantly, more Muse. They are a killer band that I found smart in this time of unintelligent radio/video.

1. The Beatles
I have so many memories with The Beatles. From the first time i heard a songs of theirs knowing they were the Beatles, I finally realized how much I loved John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Fun, emotional, and kick-ass all at once.

Least Favorite: 10 Pet Peeves

10. Popped collar

9. Double-popped collar
8. When people think that mustard is universally acceptable when you forget to specifically mention what you meant by saying "I want a cheeseburger"

7. People nonchalantly picking each others' zits as though they were vegetables in a community garden

6. Mispellings

5. Keming

4. Saying the word "like" when not:
-indicating one's preference on a subject
-using it to form a simile

3. People lacking fundamental manners. "Please" and "Thank you" are not that difficult people

2. When people watch a video online with the cursor in the way

1. Waiting in lines

Favorite: 7 Nicole Kidman Movies

Disclaimer! It turns out I have only seen 7 Nicole Kidman films.

7. Australia
Only because of her reaction to a majestic, amiable kangaroo being shot by an aborigine.

6. Bewitched
She's cute and lovable. The perfect Samantha, I'd say.

5. Happy Feet
Who doesn't love a chorus and/or chorus line of penguins? Right, she.beatnik13?

4. Batman Forever
Poison Ivy? More like... Poison "Aye-aye-aye-vy." It's late and I'm delusional.

3. The Others
A fantastic thriller. Eerie and an actual twist I didn't see coming. I will not spoil it!

2. Eyes Wide Shut
Erotic and Stanley Kubrick-y. Who could ask for more?

1. Moulin Rouge!
You don't need to have a vagina to enjoy it (though I love watching a suspiciously high number of musicals).

*Honorable Mention:

8. Jerry Maguire
Having only tonight discovered that, against what I believed since first having seen it in the mid-90s, Kelly Preston plays the sexy redhead in this film and not Nicole Kidman. I felt it necessary to give this role and my former lack of knowledge some recognition.

Least Favorite: 5 Typefaces

5. Wingdings
No actual function. Apparently a good source of urban legend, however!

4. Arial
It's everywhere! And it's never told me why I should like it.

3. Comic Sans
My work prints out our sign-in sheet in Comic Sans. Four to five days of the week I have to see my name in Comic Sans...

2. Papyrus
Then again, what would the incense and herbal tea businesses do without it?


1. Cooper Black
I illogically chose Cooper Black for a research/design assignment. I didn't like the assignment much. I suppose I'm projecting.

What should we find out about M. first?

Let me know what you would like to know about me. I don't want to waste my time talking of topics about which no one wants to know. Whether it's likes, dislikes, passions, or my opinion on a matter, I will tell all through lists. My only reservation is that no one asks me about my SSN, bank account number, or other various forms of informational feed to fatten those wily identity thieves.
