Any TV show about ancient civilizations such as Egypt or Atlantis, non-fiction books on metaphysics (no fiction please) ... especially old metaphysical books eg."the Rosicrucian Mysteries". That's about it.

Capricorn, Capricorn rising, Scorpio moon, Mercury in Capricorn in the 12th, sextile Saturn, trine Pluto, square MC. Only real noticeable transit I can recall was Chiron transiting natal Mercury.

*edit* Music ... Soundgarden, Disturbed, Nirvana, Deftones, Pearl Jam, old Metallica, etc.

I love to watch figure skating, ballet and all those really flexible, bendie-wendie, graceful kind of sports. Oh yah, Tap dancing! I'm going to learn someday if it takes me a million years!

I enjoy theatre and I totally love the Phantom of the Opera! It is my dream to make enough money to fly all over the world to watch it wherever it is playing!

My all time favourite books - Gone with the Wind, Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mocking Bird and Rebecca. I never could stand Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights or anything written by the Bronte sisters for that matter, they are just too depressing for me. I love this song by this very strange woman with a really squeaky voice going 'Heathcliffe, it's me Cathy, I've come home something, wo-ho-ho-ho', but I can't stand the book.

I'm kind of a spooky girl to some people. Not many people can hold their own for long in conversations about this stuff. It's "too heavy" for most people. I'm tickled whenever I meet someone who takes an interest in this stuff as well. I find Scorpios can keep up usually.

I almost NEVER read fiction. It has to be useful information for me to bother with it. By useful, what that means to ME is along the lines of spiritually enriching, self improving and offering profound insights. I realize fiction can do this for a person as well, but how do I know that about a fiction book until I've read it completely? I would hate to invest all that time into reading a book only to not be enriched in anyway by it. I'd feel robbed of that time. Best not take the chance. Maybe it's me.

Not much into movies either, but I've learned to aquire a taste for them for the social aspect! I'm pretty good at movie trivia, which brings me to another penchant I have.

Trivia - can't get enough of it. Love to play that interactive online trivia contest in pubs and lounges. So fun! (when I'm winning) I like Jeopardy, and Rock & Roll Jeopardy as well.

TV shows. I like CSI factor, use to love X-Files. Most sit-coms are pretty funny, I'm easy to make laugh, believe it or not! I do have a soft spot for Friends though. Those guys just crack me up!

Music. Ilove all sorts of music, but mostly modern stuff, alternative rock, kind of hard hitting and edgy stuff. But I can float away to the sounds of Bach as well.

movies: i love comedies, campy stuff like monty python, wit like royal tenenbaums and being john malcovich, and the beauty and speed of moulin rouge

books: lots of non-fiction concerning *religion and philosophy and spiritual experiences (this is the biggest category)
*astrology and other forms of 'fortune telling' (for lack of a better word) like tarot cards
*bach flower remedies herbs massage and other health related subjects.
*for fiction i like tom robbins and douglas addams(philosophic-ish comedy) lord of the rings and the like, and i try to read 'classic' books that should be on everyone's must-read list

mags: 'rolling stone' and 'andy warhol's interview' mostly, tho i like to flip through news magazines

music: everything from fifties doo-wop classics, 60's psychedelic and garage rock n roll, 70's funk glam and ny punk, 80's new wave, 90's grunge indie and jam band... also a good measure of folk and acoustic, SOME broadway and showtunes- and tho i like classical and jazz, i dont have much of it
generally if it has a good BEAT and i can GROOVE and DANCE to it, i like it.

i like crossword puzzles and word games, logic puzzles and stuff like that.

Anne Rice is another author I enjoy reading. I love her descriptions of early New Orleans.

Also, biographies on crimes. I get enthralled reading the mental processes of someone. (Sound sick?)

T.V.?? Mmmm... The Sapranos. I generally enjoy the organized crime movies (i.e. Goodfellas, The Untouchables, etc.).

Also I enjoy reading and watching stories which involve history. I'm the girl who enjoys watching war movies. Purely for the historical factor.

Documentaries on historical cities and places. I enjoy the History Channel.

I love my Discovery channel You'd be surprised at what you can learn.

Magazines... I'll glance through them. I'll pick an article or two to read.

I enjoy the seek and find word puzzles. However, I have to limit myself on them, as once I get started... I won't stop until I've done them all!

My music taste varies somewhat. I like to listen to things from Stevie Nicks, Pink Floyd and The Doors to Mazzie Star to Nirvana and Audioslave.
