I love listening to music of almost any genre. My favorites are probably goth & postpunk, metal, jazz, and shoegaze (or any combination of these). I don't like country or reggae though. A long while ago I used to draw and paint quite a lot, and I was also a ballet dancer in my past life. More recently I've been practicing contortion.
