Avid photographer...My other interests are mostly related to the arts too: mpressionism,Cubism, Auden's poetry and most modern poetry. Love rock, and I've rooted for the environment and animal rights all my life.

Photography, particularly seascapes (which are something completely new to me,)...portraits...and macro photography (I love giving small details relevance).

Most rock,particularly Evanescence; Takida and many others.

The Crow (the first one only!);Coppola's Dracula; Interview with the Vampire; LoTR; Seven; The Bone Collector; Kiss the Girls - anything about serial murders and anything creepy (really creepy,not hilariously crappy!).

Criminal Minds; Regenesis; Bones; anything about vampires (as long as I don't end up laughing!)

Everything JRR Tolkien wrote, Auden's 'The Wasteland' and most of his other poems, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.

Dynasties repaired
Systems settled in their Sockets
Citadels dissolved

By Succeeding Springs

Is exempt from Change",Emily Dickinson.
