TV/Movies: I LOVE horror movies, and can’t get enough of them, especially the classics. If it has evil creatures, ghosts, crazed psychopaths or monsters, I probably like it. Blood can be lots of fun, as long as it isn’t real ;) I love almost anything supernatural. I enjoy Action films, Drama, chick flicks (even when they can make me cry), Film Noir and comedy; I enjoy a good independent film or foreign film occasionally. It all just depends on my mood.

Great story arcs and character build-up), Angel, Firefly (I can’t tell you how much I love Joss Whedon’s work), Tru Calling, Las Vegas, Bones, Grey’s Anatomy, Supernatural, Heroes, Stargate (SG-1 and Atlantis), Jericho, Terminator, Coupling (the UK version, not the US. Very funny stuff!) The Dead Zone, Rescue Me, Saved, I am a fan of the original Star Trek, Dexter(!), Masters of Horror, Carnival...
