I used to unconditionally hate favorites. When people said they had a favorite food or a favorite color or something like that. I thought it was the most trivial, meaningless nonsense anyone could believe in. I’m not sure what about my changed but I do have certain favorites now.
My favorite color is black.
My favorite mp3 player is my 4th generation iPod touch.
My favorite way to shoot video is with the aforementioned iPod touch.
My favorite style of dance is ‘jerking’.
My favorite symbol is the pentagram.
My favorite fictional entity is the devil.
My favorite Greek myth is that of Orpheus and Persephone.
My favorite time of day is night.
My favorite drink, excepting alcohol, is water.
My favorite alcohol is vodka, preferably vodka tonic.
My favorite place to be is in the water.
My favorite season is Fall. So much so that I used to muse with the idea of naming my daughter Autumn just so that I could call her fall.
My favorite style of shirt is henley.
My favorite number is 13.
My favorite word is love.
My favorite archetypal monster is the zombie.
My favorite holiday is Halloween.
My favorite two words, together as a phrase, are Glow Dark.
My favorite author is Haruki Murakami.
My favorite novel is Drood by Dan Simmons.
My favorite director is David Lynch.
My favorite artist/painter is Kevin Tong.
My favorite comedian is Brad Neely as heard in Wizard People, Dear Reader.
My favorite person, as of right now, is myself.
My favorite genre of film is Horror but I also love Science-Fiction and old ‘noir’ style films. I also really enjoy old noir books. I love Raymond Chandler but I’m more apt to read Dashiell Hammett.
I don’t have a favorite rapper. I don’t have a favorite musician, band, or single entity creating or recording music. That one is just too vast for me to be able to intelligibly articulate all of my thoughts and feelings of.
I don’t necessarily have a favorite food but if I had to pick something to eat everyday for the rest of my life, at least right now, it would be sushi.
My favorite form of micro-blogging is tumblr. Wordpess is cool but it’s also not really cool.
I haven’t found a font/typography type thing yet but I want one.
I best prefer horror created in the medium of film, I best prefer science-fiction created in the medium of literature- comics included.
I’ll get back to you with more favorites.
