I listen to a variety of music; you can view a taste of it on my last.fm account: http://www.last.fm/user/thruacellardoor.

I often inquire others about ultimatum questions, such as: Gorilla vs. Bear, who would win in a battle? Also, the one that I'm most torn with, would you rather be blind or deaf? Considering how much I need music in my daily life for now I'll have to go with blind...

I love zombie flicks and dressing up as one.

I write short stories, poetry, lyrics.

Mail art makes me smile.

I love to crochet... Here's a crocheted ham I made recently (like Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird)

I enjoy doodling weird expressions and/or situations and constructing collages.

Also love photography and miss being the darkroom.

open to new projects :)

I read constantly, usually two at a time - one fiction, one non-fiction.

I love the beat generation writers, Kerouac first off, as well as Ginsberg and Burroughs.

Cash by Johnny Cash, greatest autobio.

The Stranger by Albert Camus

Hemmingway is fantastic. Sylvia Plath's words are incredible. And I think Virginia Woolf was too beautiful for this world.
