Movie? So many, but probably The Princess Bride TV Show? Doctor Who. Book? Another tough call, but probably Speaker For The Dead Poem? Blake's Jerusalem Author? Don't ask me to choose! Probably Stephen R. Donaldson. Song? Too many choices.. right this second probably "Bela Lugosi's Dead", but that might change in the next 15 minutes. Band? The Violent Femmes School Subject? University level, Political Science; Highschool level, History. Game? Diplomacy or Chess. Animal? Elephants. Colour? Purple. Vacation Destination? Camp Kumuntome. It's a Catholic family camp, founded in part by my Grandparents. The name is a sound-alike for "Come unto me.. (all ye who labour and are heavy burden, and I will give you rest)." | |

| Movie:Hmm, that's difficult. Across the Universe is good fun. Emperor's New Groove is certainly my favourite children's movie. I tend not to remember movies, for some reason. TV Show: M*A*S*H Book: Nightwatch Poem: Bear In There by Shel Silverstein There's a Polar Bear In our Frigidaire-- He likes it 'cause it's cold in there. With his seat in the meat And his face in the fish And his big hairy paws In the buttery dish, He's nibbling the noodles, He's munching the rice, He's slurping the soda, He's licking the ice. And he lets out a roar If you open the door. And it gives me a scare To know he's in there-- That Polary Bear In our Fridgitydaire. Author:: Terry Pratchett, Eoin Colfer, Douglas Adams Song: Either "Afraid of Everyone" or "Bloodbuzz Ohio", both my The National Band: Tie between The National and Arcade Fire School Subject:Drama, followed closely by Law and History Game: Diplomacy Animal: Racoons. Those crazy bastards are awesome Colour: Purple, of course. Vacation Destination: I can't decide that. Malaysia and Thailand are awesome. I also love what I've seen of England and Scotland, and France. | |

| Movie? No idea, I don't watch enough of them. TV Show? Doctor Who! Book? Fatal Voyage - Kathy Reichs. But that's a tough one Poem? I don't really -do- poetry, only the stuff last year I flunked the exam on - but I'd say probably Before you were mine - Carol Ann Duffy. Author? Kathy Reichs. Song? An awesome remix of ATB - 9pm (Till I come). Band? Don't really do -bands- either, but as artists go probably Amy Macdonald. School Subject? Chemistry, but that's split between Physics and Maths too Game? Chess! Animal? Cats (would it be anything else?) Colour? Blue Vacation Destination? Actually been to: York. Want to go to: Canada. (I've never been abroad with my family, and never been abroad otherwise apart from 2 school trips to the bit of france that's silly close, and I spent the first with a sprained ankle and the second ill, so most places you're likely to go abroad are good ) | |

| Movie? Fanboys - Those are totally my friends TV Show? Futurama Book? The Great Divorce Poem? Honestly, it's hard to say. I read so many, though I tend to like ones with both humour and imagery. Author? C. S. Lewis Song? White and Nerdy, Weird Al Yankovic Band? The Arrogant Worms School Subject? Chemistry, I suppose, but they're all quite interesting. Game? Mardek RPG Animal? Penguin Colour? Purple Vacation Destination? I'd like to go into the Canadian wilderness. Yes, I realise I didn't put Harry Potter for either movie or book. I like them, but they're not my absolute favourites. | |
