QuirksBiting/Licking my lips every few moments when I work on the comptuer, in addition to contorting in the computer chair. I can crack every single joint in my body and touch my nose with my tongue. I also tend to say the most random things in Japanese, and sometimes, French and Spanish.

Author: Here they all come...

J.K. Rowling - Genius! Harry Potter is right up with, you know... that stuff we breathe... air! Yeah, that's it. lol
J.R.R. Tolkien - I annually read the LotR books
Terry Brooks - The early Shannara series is still great.
Guy Gavriel Kay - The Fionavar Tapestry is amazing! Talk about Authurian legend.
Terry Prachett - Oh man... insane comic genius.
David Gemmel - Just.... whoa, the scope and detail got me hooked.
Philip Pullman - This has to be the first fantasy book I've read that does not major echoes of Tolkien in it. Read and be entertained and amazed.

Movie: Quite a few of them....

The Nightmare Before Christmas - Who's scared of the Boogeyman?
The Shawshank Redemption - Just a great movie
Sen to Chihiro no Kamimakushi (Spirited Away) - I always find something new when I watch it.
Akira - Teen angst, alienation mixed together well in a glamourised and dystopic future society
The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Animatrix - Philisophical cyberpunk, 'nuff said. Revolutions was a major disappointment
FotR, TTT, RotK - Thank God Jackson didn't butcher it and paid due homage to the books. Have you ever seen the animated version? *shudder*
Saving Private Ryan - One of the few WWII movies I like
All Quiet On The Western Front - an old WWII movie but told from the German perspective
Schindler's List - Just hauntingly sad, tragic and hopeful at the same time. The calibre of acting: nothing short of amazing

Possesion/Thing: My manga collection - so glad I found a store that carries yaoi titles - and my copies of the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter books. And my DVDs and CD.
Anime: Yuu Yuu Hakusho/Inuyasha/Gundam Wing/Technolyze/Excel Saga

Fav FF character: Cloud/Squall/Vincent
Quote: "Lead me not to temptation; I can find it myself" ~ Unknown
Book: At the moment, it's Evolution by Stephen Baxter. Fucking depressing at the ignoble and simplistic end but it seriously makes you stop and think.

Can't stand...
Food: Anything that tastes horrible
Film: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron (fifty times in a two week Christmas break is more than enough for the rest of my natural born life)
Anime: Tokyo Mew Mew. Once you've seen one 'girl gets magical powers and has to save the world' anime, you've pretty seen them all. This one was the worst to me.
Game: Any fighting style game (i.e. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Bloody Roar, etc.); they end up pissing me off.
FF: FF Tactics
FF character: Selphie. Don't know why, she just annoys the hell out of me.

Squicks!
Incest - Ew! Ick! Gross! Nastay!! *shudder* I have no doubt that there are tasteful fics out there on this, but I have yet to dip my toe into the proverbial pool and will probably keep it that way. Someone would have to drag me and toss me in head first, whilst I kicked and screamed the entire way like a hellcat.
