1. Pick something on my interests list that you also like and describe why.

Neil Gaiman. Because he is The Man. I was so happy to go to a booksigning in NYC and get my copy of American Gods signed by him. He is just a great writer. I'm trying not to fangirl here. ;-)

2. Pick something on my interests list that you don't like and describe why.

Ben Affleck. I'm still angry that he insinuated that the reason that nobody liked him and Jennifer Lopez together was because he's "a white man" and she is "Puerto Rican."

As someone who is the product of a Puerto Rican and Irish/English union, that deeply offended me. Because that's not the reason why people disliked them. In my parents' time, a biracial marriage was a bit controversial. Now? It isn't and he was just giving a shitty excuse for their backlash.

3. Pick something that is on my interests list that surprises you. Why does this surprise you?

Magic. I don't know why I'm surprised, but now I want to know why you're interested in magic.

4. Pick something that is on my interests list that you know next to nothing about (if you want me to give you details, let me know that, too).

Annie Sewell-Jennings. I've heard the name, but I'm drawing a blank.

5. Pick something that you think should be on my interests list. Why do you think it should be there?

I'm terrible at this. I see that you enjoy poetry, but you don't have that listed as an interest, any reason?

Love the icon.

I've never heard that Ben and Jennifer thing. Gah, some people are idiots.

Magic: I think this is kind of like my love for Physics but in another direction. Like - could things like magic, telepathy, whatever, be real, and if they are, how do they work?

Annie Sewell-Jennings is anniesj *g* I adore her.

Oh, I didn't know poetry wasn't on there... I love poetry. Got shelves full of anthologies. (If Pablo Neruda's not on that list, he should be) Except for Seamus Heaney. I don't know why, maybe because he's too much of a local writer (my mother went to school with him, for goodness sake) but his stuff seems so hackneyed. Apart from Mid-Term Break, which is beautiful.

Must update the poems in my sidebar.

Isn't it the best? Because at the end of the day, What Would Kermit Do?

Interesting answer the magic question. And that is cool. I'm dearly fond of science, although my areas are more biology and anthropology.

Yeah, that quote turned me off Ben Affleck forever. Unless he gets back with Matt. Then some of it is forgiven. But not much.

Annie Sewell-Jennings is anniesj

Ah, thank you!

I love poetry, although I'm into the older stuff (Milton and others before him) because I just adore the earlier works in English canon. I'm a total geek. I've only recently started reading more contemporary works, but I'm enjoying them a lot.
