FEMALES: Special Interests

Post Reply New Topic

The Kinks and The Beatles.

Johnny Depp movies, especially the ones that Tim Burton directed. Tim and Johnny make OK movies on their own, but when they work together, it's pure magic. That being said, the four movies I obsess over the most are Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd and Edward Scissorhands.

In no particular order:

1. horses -- I trained horses. I also read every book in the Black Stallion series several times, and at one time could recite long passages from them.
2. Ricky Nelson -- I crushed on him so bad.
3. Beatles
4. architecture -- I used to design houses, golf courses, schools, etc.
5. cryptology -- I have a friend that used to make up codes with me. I actually discovered on my own many of the basic concepts of cryptology.
6. airplanes -- my father was a Naval aviator and he taught me all about aviation
7. sex -- I'm actually, well, sort of a nympho.
8. comic books -- especially superheroes
9. cosmology -- ever since I found out that in fact men don't have one less rib than women, which meant that a literal take on Genesis couldn't possibly be right.
10. archeology of the American Southwest -- it's much more extensive than mentioned in American history courses; more interesting, too
11. motorcycles -- I'd go out with anybody if he had a motorbike
12. Michelangelo -- I'm absolutely transfixed by The Moses.
