I thought it would be cool if we all shared some of our favorite things. I'll make up a list of things you can say and you can fill out as many as you want. In addition, feel free to post ideas for additions to the list. I'm purposely going to put up a limited amount in the first place so that you can post what you want to be on it.

Favorite Food: CHOCOLATE.
Favorite Breakfast Food: Hmmm... I think waffles and bacon.
Favorite Lunch Food: Soup, especially potato
Favorite Dinner Food: Pasta, especially spaghetti with tomato sauce
Favorite Drink: Root beer. I didn't like it until I was about twelve years old and then I went crazy about it.
Favorite Snack: Fruit snacks or granola bars. The fruit snacks make me feel like a little kid, but I absolutely love them and they're really handy for on the go kind of stuff.
Favorite Dessert: It really depends on my mood. Generally though, Cold Stone vanilla ice cream with Butterfingers in it.
Favorite TV Show: Heroes, although the new season's pretty lame.
Favorite Movie: Ohhh, this is a toughie. I usually go through phases with intense definite favorites, but I haven't seen a super amazing movie for months. Some of my old favorites are Across the Universe, The Illusionist, the Lord of the Rings movies, The Matrix (what can beat Keanu Reaves dodging bullets in slow-mo?), and Pan's Labyrinth. Oh, and Forrest Gump. And Chicago. And I love superhero movies because I'm geeky like that...
Favorite Color: Medium to dark blue.
Favorite Animal: A ring-tailed lemur. It's a long story.
Favorite Domestic Animal/Potential Pet: Either a cat or a chinchilla. I haven't had a chinchilla before, but I really want one (or two). That's why I can't say for sure...
Favorite Class in School (current if in school, of all time if not): Pre-calculus, but only because of the teacher. He's really crazy.
Favorite Hobby: Sailboat racing. It's pretty awesome.
Favorite Thing to do at Midnight: Write. Or sleep if I'm tired.
Favorite Brand of Clothing: I like American Eagle or Target. Depends on what I'm in the mood for.
Favorite Singer: Hmm. I don't really have a singular favorite singer, but I kinda like Sarah Bareilles. And I really like Adam Pascal's voice.
Favorite Band: Jack's Mannequin all the way.
Favorite Actor: I have a lot. Most are kind of obscure, but some more popular ones are Edward Norton (especially in The Illusionist), James Marsden, and James McAvoy. Oh, and Jim Strugess. A lot of James's there.
Favorite Actress: Maybe Nicole Kidman.
Favorite Play: Argh... This one's hard. I think Wicked.
Favorite Saying: Okay, it's not exactly a maxim or anything, but it's like the philosophy of my life. Most things are relative and therefore can't exist without their opposites. Everything has an opposing force in order to keep it in check.
Favorite Quote: I have quite a few, so I'll just do a silly one and a serious one. I have many inside joke quotes, but nobody will get them.
The first one is from Across the Universe, when Max is going to get examined for the army.
Army Sergeant: Is there any reason you shouldn't be in this man's Army?
Max: I'm a cross-dressing homosexual pacifist with a spot on my lung.
Army Sergeant: As long as you don't have flat feet.
This one is from Forrest Gump. Awesome quote.
Forest Gump: I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time.
Favorite Item of Clothing in Your Wardrobe: My dark wash straight-leg blue jeans.
Favorite Part of this Guild: Seeing it grow
Favorite Subforum in this Guild: Roleplay (it's entertaining)
Favorite Book: I don't know... I'm going through a phase right now where my tastes in literature are changing. But Catcher in the Rye, The Fountainhead, and some classic young adult fantasy are at the top of my list.

That was surprisingly fun. I usually hate these kinds of things because I can never decide on my favorites. Well, I didn't really decide for some of them, but whatever.

My pre-calc teacher is crazy too! Perhaps it's a job requirement? He's a great teacher, though, even if he is weirdly predictable.

My pre-calc teacher is crazy too! Perhaps it's a job requirement? He's a great teacher, though, even if he is weirdly predictable.

I think it is a job requirement. Mine's not so much predictable as just plain weird. He's a psychology major. Yep, psychology. And he always talks about how his generation is better than ours because they sent a man to the moon and back. Except we come up with all these comebacks and he just shrugs them off. His class is extremely entertaining...
