If you're like me, then you like lists. As trivial as it is, I believe you can tell a lot about a person based on what they're into, and perhaps what they're not into. Also I see this as a further introduction to this blog, so without further adieu, I'll present my likes/dislikes:
Note: I'm not gonna bother putting them in numerical order since some of these are like picking my favorite M&M, but don't fret, you'll get the idea.
