ndnickersonI filled this out over on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ozqueen's journal, and decided to post it over here too, for the heck of it. :)
What sort of things do you use your journal for?
Not much, lately; updates when I exercise and occasionally writing-related stuff. And it's almost all friends-locked. I spend more time updating my writing journal (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ivory_charmed).
What are you favourite haunts on lj, dw, the web in general?
On LJ I readlittle_details, het_reccers, bakebakebake, ohnotheydidnt, milady_milord (for Community Jeff/Annie fanfic). And I'll pimp my Nancy Drew fanfic community too, nancydrewfic. I spend a bunch of time on tumblr, though, and half of what I do on there is look at Nancy Drew related posts. ;)
What do you like to do when you're not on the 'net?
Write. Seriously, that's the majority of what I do when I'm not online. And sometimes, about once a week, I go to movies, go out with my friends, shop.
Write a list of your favourite things: foods, movies, music, alcoholic drinks, whatever you want...
Foods: Although I'm on a low-carb diet, I do still utterly adore chocolate, and thank God there are low-carb chocolate candy bars. Otherwise I can eat pizza pretty much every day of the week, and I love a good pork or beef roast, and chicken, and seafood - I just love meat. Bacon, mmm.
Movies: I'm generally bored by soppy romance movies—they have to earn it, dammit! I like it best when the hero's journey involves love but that isn't the be-all and end-all of it (in Dark City, for example, John's relationship with Anna is important, but everything he's going through isn't just to win her love). If I watch a relationship movie I want it to come with a side of angst, please (which is why Closer is one of my favorite movies). Otherwise I love action, drama, mystery, crime dramas, well-done sci-fi, smart comedy, and screwball comedy; I also ADORE when a movie has a great aesthetic. My top five movies right now, in no particular order, are Closer, The Fall, Dark City, Sunshine, and Brick.
Music: I hate twangy country music and I generally don't care for folky singer-songwriters; I love rock music. My favorite bands right now are Interpol and My Morning Jacket; the last song I downloaded was "Champion" by The Chevin after I heard it on Conan one night this week. And I'd absolutely love to see Deftones in concert. I was so amazingly delighted to be able to see The Police in concert because they were my first favorite band and I was sure I never would be able to see them in concert. I love The Rolling Stones and Frank Sinatra.
Alcoholic drinks: After a particularly interesting evening when I was 20, I swore off tequila, and I also developed an aversion to orange-flavored liquors. Left to my own devices I drink Johnnie Walker Black (scotch). Vodka and rum are my other go-tos. I've never tried beer because it smells nasty and I hate the taste of wine, which disappoints me to no end, because I always loved the idea of wine.
TV: Shows I'll be watching this season: Community, 30 Rock, Mad Men, Archer, Justified, Chopped; probably Elementary as well; Downton Abbey and Sherlock once I can get my hands on those. Shows I keep meaning to get into: Breaking Bad. I'm open to suggestions; clearly I like mystery shows, and I do watch The Mentalist and Psych on a less than regular basis, and Futurama whenever I catch it on.
Shows I love(d) which are off the air: Arrested Development, Chuck (the second season was awesome), Lois & Clark, Carnivale, Pushing Daisies, Veronica Mars (before season three, anyway), Mystery Science Theater 3000, Lost, Alias, Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
What do you wish you knew more about?
Almost everything. I would seriously love to go to back to school for my doctorate degree. The only subject I didn't like when I was in college was sociology because it seemed like a less awesome version of psychology. I'd even love to take more physics classes - as long as grades weren't involved. And I really want to learn French.
Anything else you want to add?
That I really need to watch The Avengers again today. ;)
