What was your favorite toy as a kid?
My favorite toy, not sure I had a favorite toy of all time, it varied by age. I know the ones that stand out are my Barbies who taught me the importance of being rail thin, impossibly leggy and the object of affection for a guy with really bad hair. (Thanks Barb). Perfection had to have played a critical part in my current battles with panic and anxiety, and Lite Bright really helped to take me somewhere else when the present state was really not all that intriguing. (Click that link for hours of mindless enjoyment) More than anything I suppose, my most favorite and consistently retrieved toy was likely always a book.
What type of music or band do you love?
According to iTunes, I love: Alternative, Punk, Acid Jazz, Electronica/Dance, Downtempo, Hip Hop, Indie Rock, Jazz, World, Post-Grunge, Progressive Electronic, Pop (say it ain’t so), R&B (I would say Neo-Soul)...
My most heavily played bands this week have been: Goapele, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Incubus, Nelly Furtado, Javier Navarrete (who better win an Oscar dammit), The Roots and Shirley Bassey.
What color can't you live without?
Brown. It’s all around me, every day. The color I seem to like close to my skin always. However from a spiritual standpoint, blue is the color that keeps me at peace. It’s the color I’m always searching for behind my eyes.
What is your favorite scent?
Right now it’s Africa Spa oil by the Body Shop. Room fragrance. I don’t really care for perfumes and colognes.
Show us something you love.
This still has me howling laughing, Huge fan of Extras. "Chubby little loser...national joke..." *dead*

Wow. Barbies for over $100 - who would have thought! I never liked her much anyway, now I realise she is just the Paris Hilton of the doll world.
LiteBrite - another wow. I shall be playing with this for a while....
OK. Finished playing with LiteBrite. This Perfection think - how long did you manage to keep all the pieces - in this house, third, fourth go, something would have been lost. Careless we are.
Have never seen Extras - but going on this clip, I shall be borrowing Middle Son's complete first series box set, just as soon as I feel well enough to watch something for more than ten minutes! Thanks for sharing.
I think you would love last.fm. It keep stats on what you listen to and makes suggestions and lets you connect with other music lovers whose tastes are similar to yours. Ha, maybe you already know about it.
i agree with reesie, last.fm is a neat little place/plug in. if you check it out and join, let me know and i'll send you my link or whatever. we can be friends on there! it'll be, like, so totally awesome, yanno?
