Movie that scares the hell out of me: Titanic, but not just for the reason you think

Favorite TV (still on the air): Boston Legal, Bones, the Simpsons
Favorite TV (no longer being made): Star Trek (original series), Queer As Folk, Angel, Whose Line Is It Anyway? (British and American), Star Trek: Enterprise, the Lone Gunmen (RIP), Buffy, the Sharpe series (which could technically be movies as well), Drive, Raines, the X-Files (through season 7), MacGyver, Quantum Leap
TV that scares the hell out of me: Most reality- Really, it's getting old. I watched Survivor (though that was mostly for Rupert), and I was addicted to American Idol, thanks to our homeboy Clay. But as a whole, the genre is tired and embarrassing.
Favorite actors/actresses: Ewan McGregor, Johnny Depp, David Wenham, Hugo Weaving, Eric Bana, Liam Neeson, Orlando Bloom, Gary Oldman, David Boreanaz, Sean Bean, Viggo Mortensen
Favorite Book: too many, but I'm partial to "The Lord of the Rings." Also "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey." All the Harry Potter books, especially "The Prisoner of Azkaban."
First Sci-Fi/Fantasy book read: "The Kestrel" by Lloyd Alexander in 8th grade. (The Westmark trilogy is excellent, by the way.)
Favorite Reference Book: Two right now- "British/American Language Dictionary: For more effective communication between Americans and Britons" and "The Scots Dialect Dictionary" (I had trouble with some of the definitions in this one. Then I realized it was published in Britain. I mean, what do "hoozling- a severe drubbing" and "lyrie- the pogge" mean anyway?)
Favorite Art Period: Art Nouveau
Favorite Artists: Alphonse Mucha, Toulouse-Lautrec, Maxfield Parrish
Favorite Sports Team: Carolina Hurricanes, New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox
Favorite Food(s): cheese, spinach, vegetarian riblets courtesy of Gardenburger, "Mushrooms!"

Bad Habits: too much caffeine, too many chips, some procrastination, sitting in front of the computer
Fave quote: too many, but- "All you need is love" and "I don't think a nun
would say that about a hill."
