I am a geek. Sad but true, per sibblings, doesn't bother me much.

My books are some of my most prized possesions. But of more value to me is showing someone else the joy of reading. Cheesy I know, but I find that most people who don't like reading have simply been reading the wrong thing. For all that I treasure my books I am always willing to loan them to anyone who wants to read them (they can be replaced after all!).

I am also a RPG fan. And not just in video and computer games, I'm talking about old time RPG using Dice and paper (for those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, you'd probably call it D&D). D&D is a specific kind of RPG, envolving creatures of fantasy and magic. I also enjoy playing BESM, (an anime kinda of RPG), World of Darkness (which depending can be either Vampires or Werewolves...and depending on the GM, sometimes it can be both) And I have recently come across a new game called SCION, allowing you to play as the offspring of a god of your choice.

And to further complete the portrait of geekiness I alos enjoy and participate (when I can...which isn't as often as I like) in the SCA. For those of you who have no idea what that is you can follow this "http://www.sca.org/" target = "_blank">link to find out.

Anyway this is what I like to do!

Mostly I listen to country, but I do like some stuff that isn't. Metallica, Enya, Lorena McKinnet, Celtic/Irish folk music, Oldies, and Josh Groban to name a few.

Movies...Where to start is more the question...

(Now mind that this is in no particular order...beyond the random order in which each title occurred to me)

Dirty Dozen, El Dorado, The Magnificant 7 (the original), The Quiet Man, Silverado, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, The Quick and the Dead, Cool Hand Luke, The Great Escape, All Three Lord of the Rings, All of the Harry Potter Movies (Some more than others...but come on it's Harry Potter how can you go wrong?), Constantine, Pirates of the Caribbean, Kingdom of Heaven, Ned Kelly, A Knights Tale, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Both X-Men, MAster and Commander, A beautiful Mind, Charlie and the Choclate Factory (with Johnny Depp of Course!), Boondock Saints, Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children, Serenity and the entire FireFly Series (All of which I own...) and the list goes on and on...

As For Books...where to end is more the question...

I am so excited they are re-releasing all of the older Drizzt books with new TOTALLY AWESOME cover art! If there is any interest I'll scan in the book cover and give you a look! Yay!

If you want to know exactly what books in each series I didn't particularly care for and why let me know and I'll tell you! I can go on and on for hours about books!

Have to say that my uncle is my hero. He took my sisters and I in and raised us like we were his, and is now doing the same thing all over again for my niece.
