.... nothing like the sun.

Calorie free chocolate.
I'm really not looking for romance. Just eFriendships​.

Absolute Positives: A sense of humour and the ability to string a sentence together. An appreciation​ of the value of pointless babble. It's a skill.

Things that will have me clicking on Delete or Block: all the usual scamm-y, propos-y, full of s#%t stuff. 

Absolute deal breakers: Religious types and people who find reality TV entertaining​. To each his own but I don't deal well with either.

Music. Reading. Music. Writing. Eating chocolate. (Some may say that doesn't constitute a hobby, but it does the way I do it.) Music. And did I mention music?

Music.

Any advice on how to pick "Favour​ite Music"?​ There's far too much music I love!  Mmm. Mainstream and "West Coast" jazz. Performers: Clooney. Ella. McRae. Bill Evans. Torme. Composers: Porter. Ellington. Warren. et al. Tragic 80s rock and pop. Kiss. JS Bach. Pink. Bush. Pink Floyd. Oooh and Ben Folds, Eskimo Joe, Cake, Level 42, Sting, Queen, Fall Out Boy, Marillion. I could seriously keep adding to these forever! Hopefully I will.

Not a big fan of country I guess.

The Long Kiss Goodnight. Serenity. (Joss Whedon is a legend.) Orgazmo. When Harry Met Sally. (Yes, it's a chick flick. Deal with it.) Nightmare on Elm Street. Austen Powers. Love Actually. Devil's Advocate. Bridget Jones Diary. Being John Malkivich. 10 Things I Hate About You. The Princess Bride.

All things Joss wrote, directed, edited, briefly considered making, scribbled on a pizza box, blogged or mentioned to his third cousin while in a drunken stupor. I now compare all TV to Buffy, Angel and Firefly.

Sex in the City. Mash. Roseanne. Xena. Scrubs. House. That 70s Show. Veronica Mars. Farscape. The Office - the US one. (Go figure.) South Park. Robot Chicken. Aaaarrrgghh.​ TOO MANY!

I enjoy comedy, sci fi, drama, shoes that are silly and surreal, action and so on. Think Reality TV is the lowest form of entertainmen​t in the history of this and any other universe.

The Jane Austen ouvre. (I have an Austenfest every year.) Legend. (Gemmel.) Most of Feist's stuff including the Wurts collaboratio​ns: Mistress of the Empire - and so on. Have a soft spot for Shakespeare.​ Douglas Adams is my Dali Lama. The Cherry Orchard. (I still hear the snapping string in the distance.) I also, periodically​, Wait for Godot.
