I honestly can't remember if I "introduced" myself to you at some point in the recent past or not.
Who am I? That's a loaded question, and not one easily answered. I promise, though, that I'm not an ex-boyfriend, boss, etc. Just a 35 (soon to be 36) year old woman who discovered your journal via mutual LJ friends. Oh, and at one point in my life, I studied kung fu (actually got to second brown belt before illness forced me to stop).
Our common interests include reading, writing, HK action movies, fantasy, science fiction, and probably a number of other things as well that I can't recall at this point in time.
It's tough to do recommendations since I don't know what you have/haven't already experienced, but I'll give it a try.
Book: If you haven't red Sharon Shinn's Archangel, I would definitely say pick it up. It's actually the first in a trilogy, but honestly, the two subsequent books couldn't hold a candle to the first.
Movie: This one is almost impossible. Maybe something older....I really enjoyed Peter's Friends and of course, there is always Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.
Manga: I don't read a lot of manga (I can hear you shouting "Blasphemy!" from here) but I enjoyed the Mars series for a while, and I thought the art was nice as well.
Comic Book: Elfquest 'Nuff said. This graphic novel spoke to me when I was a teenager and really helped me through those difficult years, and it still speaks to me today. I sold the rest of my comic collection years ago, but not my EQ.
Anime: I also don't watch a lot of anime - in fact, I really can't make a recommendation here at all. My youngest sister could, though, as she is the one in the family very much into manga and anime.
TV Show: La Femme Nikita which you can purchase DVDs for, and which has been off-air for quite some time. Basically, it was killed by its production company/network. If you enjoy Alias you should know that LFN did it first and did it better (IMO).
Country: The Netherlands. This is such an amazingly beautiful country.
Place: Tintagel in the UK. I can't even begin to explain how this place touched me. It is simply breath-taking, and standing on the edge of the cliff watching the sun set, I could almost forget the modern world entirely.
Musical Artist: I always hesitate to make recommendations here until I know someone's musical tastes. There is nothing more disheartening than recommending music and having the person hate it. But I'll toss out a few names and you're welcome to give them a try: Solar Twins, In The Nursery, Hooverphonic, Dead Can Dance
