I was really interested in everything that had to do with King Arthur and that legend when I was younger. In fact, I was so into it that my best friend nicknamed me Nimue/Vivien because of my obsession with her. Mists of Avalon was a very good read; I enjoyed hearing the story from a woman's point of view for a change...thinking about it makes me want to pick it up again. Is Bradley your favorite author? Who else do you like?
Nature is very important to me-- my favorite spots in the District are the national zoo, and the mall (not a shopping mall; the mall is a very large stretch of green lawn where festivals are sometimes held). I also visit the Manassas Battlefields regularly to take walks in the woods, partly so that I don't feel so overloaded by man-made noise. That's right. I'm that freak rubbing leaves on my face because they feel unique.

Haha, I wouldn't see that as freaklike, so I guess I must be a freak too. I am often in summer to be found losing myself among the trees and watching crows as if they are human beings. No zoo really local to me, so I do not have that pleasure but a lot of old buildings around with incredible energies to them. I like anywhere that is old or natural. Zimmer Bradley is not my favourite author, no. I do not really have one at present as I tend to not read right now... lost my focus. I read a lot when a child and teen, and had a vast collection of fantasy books. I still love Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising books... and keep meaning to read them again now. I read all the teenage fantasy books I could get my hands on, as well as a fair amount of adult. I am very much an escapist in that sense.
