stuffs i like

just for reference...

i'm completely enthralled with bizarre victorian stuff - gothic horror, victorian-era medical oddities, funeral photography (think wisconsin death trip).

i adore medieval decor - but please, nothing cheesy.

i love pirate stuff, but usually only *historical* pirate stuff. i really don't like the cheesy pirate stuff.

i love to cook and bake. i'm very comfortable in my kitchen. i <3 aprons and sharp objects.

i'm also oddly in love with rockabilly/psychobilly stuff, especially cherries and zombies, respectively.

i love steampunk fashion - brass and pointy clock bits, cogs, stuff like that but no stupid miniature hats. goes back to my love of weird victorian stuff.

i adore and collect anything to do with h.p. lovecraft and the cthulhu mythos, particularly Miskatonic University stuff.

favorite book genres - high and dark fantasy, cyberpunk, hard science fiction, some vampire fiction (i hate twilight, however), alternate histories, some thrillers, horror

favorite flavors - milk chocolate, caramel, toffee, white chocolate, orange, rose, violet, cinnamon, clove

flavors i cannot or will not eat - egg (can't stand the smell or taste, but i'm not allergic or anything), dark chocolate, cilantro (with a few exceptions), black licorice, raw banana

you know, i absolutely love it when the word of the day is one i *don't* know... yeah, i know, i'm a geek.
