Things I Like (Nouns This Time 'Round)

Eel
I love eel. Not the creature, eels, but the food “unagi”. I’ll eat it in sushi or over rice or just by itself. Yeah, I’m strange like that. It just has a wonderful savory taste. Even the occasional tiny bones are not a deterrent.

Dance games
I love dance games. I got up at 4a the day after Thanksgiving years ago to buy a discounted game and dance pad bundle called “In the Groove” for PS2. I’m not perfect at it, but it’s enjoyable. I pulled it out last night (you know, because Pod Lexa cleaned and there’s floor again). I managed to dance through about 660 calories using the fitness mode. Then the game locked up for too long and I quit. My disc is scratched so there are several songs that I can’t get to play. That part sucks, but I love the game so much I’ve even tried to find a new copy of it so I can play those songs, too.

Fanfic
I like reading fanfic. I’ve written a bit as well, but I’m mainly a reader and a beta, on occasion. I have a few different fandoms that I’ll dip into depending on my mood. They include SG-1 (but I’m tired of Jack/Daniel), Atlantis, Doctor Who (9th mainly, but loving the cusp between 9th and 10th), Star Wars prequels, Star Trek, Pitch Black (oddly enough, there are some real gems), Harry Potter, and many others. I’ll get nostalgic and reread favorite stories. Mainly I’m an adult-rated slasher because you’ll typically find the best work there. It’s like the kiddies are afraid of the higher rating and the whole “gay” thing, so you’re left with pretty strong writers. Oh, must tell you to read this -------------> Domenika Marzione’s work. Her website is here: http://www.offpanel.net/dmz/ and her profile with stories is here: http://www.wraithbait.com/viewuser.php?uid=872. Omigod, she’s phenomenal and totally has me reading outside my box (ewwww, sorry). She writes Atlantis fic that’s all no-sex and focused on the military force of Atlantis. It’s guys being guys, but they keep their pants on. Amazing!

Summer
I hate cold, thus I love summer. I can’t wait until it hits like 90 degrees. I’m freezing right now. I feel like I’m always cold.
