J.K. Rowling used to be higher on this list but I've become a bit tired of her shit :P

Magazines: GOOD, Dumbo Feather, Archer. I haven't really kept up with magazines lately, I tend to mainly go for them when they have content that interests me.

Zines: I have a fluctuating zine collection! I tend to collect informative/how-to or activity zines more than perzines or fanzines, but I’m open to all sorts of zines about anything!

Mail: I LOVE mail. All the mail. I'm especially a big fan of aerogrammes.

Websites: I used to write for Autostraddle! I'm on and off with Metafilter. Mostly I just stick to social media and follow any shared links.

Webcomics: Homestuck (and a zillion fanventures), XKCD, Questionable Content, Something Positive, Dumbing of Age, Oglaf, SMBC

Movies: I'm not a huge movie person, though I really loved Maleficent and have a soft spot for Care Bears. My favourite movie as a child was Yellow Submarine, which should tell you something about me. Other movies I've liked: Pitch Perfect, Legally Blonde, Harry Potter (esp Prisoner of Azkaban), Hunger Games, Moulin Rouge

Visual Art: I don't have any specific favourite artists, but I do like art that touches on the same themes as my general interests or tastes in media. I do sometimes collect portraits of myself, especially in unusual or cartoony styles!

Things I Want To Learn: Pottery, jewelry-making, tech + fashion, keytar (I have one I just need to play it), mashup-making, video editing

Flavours & Cuisines: I'm pretty adventurous and like to try "weird" things. Salty + sweet combined, savoury/umami, meaty, smoky, spicy (wasabi, mustard, peppery, chili), rose, unusual flavour pairings, Malaysian/Singaporean, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, fusion, molecular gastronomy, hot breakfasts

Savoury: Most nuts, heavily buttered popcorn, pretzels, jerky, Twisties, thin-cut potato chips, hash browns, eggs, dried seaweed, kale chips, cheese (esp havarti and mozarella), biscuits (the American variety) - despite the smaller section I actually prefer savoury to sweet

Sweets: I've just been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance which means my ability to process sugar is now compromised!! So a lot of my favourites now make me ill. I do still like super super dark chocolate and enjoy pies & cinnamon rolls when I can. Turkish Delight is pretty good too.

Fruits & Veg: Persimmon, melon, Asian fruits. I'm weirdly picky about fruit but am more flexible with vegetables. I do like Asian preserved fruit, including stuff like plums that would normally be in my Hell No list.

Meaty Things: I'm pretty adventurous with meat. I LOVE seafood (any sort!), especially sashimi, and am fond of lamb and goat meat, also offal. The weirder the better.

Drinks: Same issues with sugar applies unfortunately. Hot chocolate, mocha, matcha, green tea, teas in general, cream, evaporated milk, absinthe, hot cocktails, mead (I'm not that big an alcohol drinker though)

* Liquorice and anything anise-y (except for absinthe, oddly)

* Condensed milk (I like the taste, the problem is that it makes me sick now due to metabolic syndrome)

* Fruity flavours in anything that isn't actually fruit (e.g. teas, baked goods, candy) - EXCEPT apple pie or weirdly cheese

* Strawberries and most other berries

* Cherries, peaches, plums, apricots, other stone fruit

* Sour stuff, especially sour candy (though I do like Asian preserved fruit)

* Gummies

* Hard candy/lollipops/anything that is 99% sugar

* Natto and most other fermented stuff

* Celery

* Arugula/rocket

* Chocolate with fruits in them (I generally prefer my chocolate to not be filled with anything but I'm more forgiving around nuts)

* Raisins and sultanas

* IPA beer

* Bittergourd, collard greens, any other bitter veges

* Tomatoes unless it's in soup or cherry tomatoes

* Fennel seed

Colours: Reds (esp blood red/deep red), deep purples, black, jewel tones, gold

Animals: Bats, platypus, cats, anything cute and fluffy (esp FLUFFY). My best friend and I have a running injoke about sloths and beavers but that's mainly an Us thing.

Witchy-Woo-related: I float between believer and skeptic with this but still hold some kind of fascination. Technopaganism, pop culture magic, tarot cards & similar (esp artsy/avant garde/postmodern interpretations), Kali, Kwan Yin, incense, magical oils, magical jewelry, witches, faeries (there's suspicion that I am fae)

Shapes/Patterns: Stars, rainbows, hearts, cartoony bats/platypus/cats, clever puns, roses, passport stamps

Experiences: Immersive performance art (esp with audience participation), Real Escape Games, international travel, creative geeky social-change conferences and conventions, spa treatments, co-creating something awesome with a great group of people, going on tour, drawn-out multi-course dinners, all-you-can-eat buffets, drumming circles

Subscription Services: I LOVE getting things in the mail - one time my PO Box provider accused me of buying things online just so I could send myself mail, and it took me a while to admit that he was right. I haven't signed up to a lot of subscription services but I would like to - especially ones for food, art and creative stuff, or anything really unusual.
