| Introduction | I love animals, I love TV shows like Buffy, Angel, I hate that shop assistants are so pushy. I hate litter, I love vacuuming when there's heaps of crap on the floor to crackle in the vacuum cleaner, I love going to the movies, especially with an icecream. I hate liquorice I love CIBO hazelnut gelati. I hate it when people read books just to say they've read it, I love finding a book that grabs me and I'm swept away. I love that there are a lot of people who care for animals. I hate the noise made by pouring wine into a glass, but I love the taste of good (red) wine. I hate the feeling of raincoats and certain types of plastics. I love the sensation of touching bubbles in the bath from under the water. I love daydreaming. I hate having nightmares, especially about being chased by the zombies from 28 Days. I like more movies than I can list, so... I also like, The Breakfast Club, Mr and Mrs Smith, My Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby, Auntie Mame, anything with Danny Kaye, The Parrots of Telegraph Hill, Cold Mountain, Sense and Sensibility, and many more. movies are like books, the best ones can be revisted over and over again. |
