Oh, to repeat, my location is somewhere near Birmingham, UK. If there's anyone nearby who wants to be my friend/lover/patron, do get in touch! :)
At least someone else likes To Kill a Mockingbird. I thought it was just me. :)
I thought I'd use two smileys today because I don't feel quite as crapped-out as yesterday...

Fav Band: My favourite band that's still around is probably The Divine Comedy, but the band that I've been most obsessed with my whole life is, regrettably, The Beatles. They marked my entry into music- nothing before them, be it my dad's Ry Cooder and Caetano Veloso or my friend's Snap! and Michael Jackson, made the slightest impression on me.
Fav Movie: I still stand by my opinion that Gremlins 2:The New Batch is the greatest piece of art ever released, because it's basically just funny little green monsters running around doing everything everyone else secretly wants to do, but doesn't because we don't wanna be shunned by society and because, y'know, we know it'd hurt.
Fav TV Show: Buffy The Vampire Slayer reprezent, of course, and usual suspects like South Park, Red Dwarf, Monty Python's Flying Circus, too. And I'm a big fan of those old sci-fi shows- The Outer Limits is my fave.
Fav Book: Oooer, toughie. Random selection of favourites: The Hitch Hyker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams, The Longest Journey by E.M. Forster, Another Country by James Baldwin, The Heart Of Rock & Soul by Dave Marsh, The Hobbit by Tolkien and On The Road by Jack Kerouac.
Fav Actor: Cinema is my least favourite type of art, I really dunno what to answer here. I mean, of course Bogart rules, but that's quite a dull thing to say innit?
Fav Actress: Erhm, I like Janeane whatshername.
Fav Food: Enchiladas!
Fav Sport: I enjoy skiing and swimming (as relaxation, not competition); mostly I hate sports cos I've got a leg problem and also I'm a wimp.
Fav Athlete: Now you're just kidding me, aren't ya?
Drink of Choice: Used to be addicted to Coca-Cola; now I just stumble through the wilderness and drink whatever's there. If you mean alcoholic beverages, a Smirnoff Ice is always nice.
Drug of Choice (if that's your thing): I smoke the occasional joint, that's about it.
Smoker? : Apart from the stuff referred to above, no.
Occupation : Student.
Do you work out? : No, I work it.
On a scale from 1-10 how would you rate your looks? : Oh, I'd say 7 bordering on 8, according to my own taste. According to "conventional" tastes, I suppose I might be around 4ish.
On a scale from 1-10 how would you rate your personality? : I don't think I can answer that. I reckogn I'm Cool Enuff- I can be arrogant and insecure and show-offy, and I can also be excessively introverted and shun human company altogether (I'm a terrible introextrovert), but I'm occasionaly amusing, mostly compassionate and at any rate I'm alot cooler than any of you bitches will ever be.
Add anything you want people to know: That Kelly Osbourne album really is quite good!

So I can't put your theory to the test, dammit. Even though I reckon that one in five *being* interested would be a stupendous result. (Surreal, even.)
The 'sad stuff'... hell, even I consider that annoying! I don't have much hope of anyone else digging it. :)

Add anything you want people to know: I don't have a lot of favorites, my tastes are varied and I often flip-flop on opinions because I tend to see things from many angles (just not all at the same time). I can argue a point (not to be argumentative) for something I don't believe in, just to get "all the ducks in a row" maybe to understand a situation better, but I don't spend a lot of time actually arguing "for" or "against" many things because I'm not really for or against much, therefore any arguing is usually in a purely philosophical sense. I'm not a passionate defender of causes or art and I'm not a compassionate conservative. The world is strange and I'm often confused.

(My favourite musical artists at the moment are Beethoven and Django Reinhardt though I'd probably still rate LZ as greatest band. Martial arts is by default my favourite sport but I missed today's class because I'm sick and Tuesday's to hang out with a girl I like. Wait, does non-competitive cycling count as a sport? That might win then. I guess Clone High is my favourite TV show. I'm a grad student now. Other than that my answers probably still stand.)
