I LIKE writers with original ideas (that's virtually everyone who has ever started a thread over in Homebrews.)

I LIKE cheap shlocky movies.  Yes, I watch the Saturday night movies on the SciFi channal.  People whose job it is to know these things inform me that I am not stupid; sorry I can't provide much evidence.

I LIKE Fuzzy Sapiens!  (One of my few concessions to 'cute'.)

I LIKE deep conversations.

I LIKE cane grindings.  Been years since I've been to one, but I remember the taste so well...

I LIKE Stephen Colbert, Jackie Chan, Bette Davis, Alan Alda, Gabriel Byrne, Liv Tyler, Louis Armstrong, MST3K, John Travolta, The Marx Brothers, Kirsten Dunst, Christina Ricci, Eugene Levy, Sting, Billie Holiday, and Aerosmith.  Among others.

I LIKE chocolate and peanut butter.  Oddly, though, not together.  BTW - Honey is nature's most nearly perfect food.

I LIKE people who can challenge without threatening.

I LIKE Ishmayl.  Thanks for the use of the virtual hall, dude.

I LIKE creating characters, especially magic-users.

I LIKE finding money in the pocket of my winter coat.

I LIKE chatting randomly with other gamers.  Especially in the Tavern.

I LIKE buckets of daisies. They smell nice.
I LIKE optimizing martial characters. So those pansy spellcasters know who's boss.
I LIKE reptillian Humanoids
I LIKE Dinosaurs. Especially Troodon and Velociraptors.
I LIKE Hobgoblins with actual characterization. Too often I see the tragic Hobgoblin with nothing behind it but "I'm a monster so I'm Angsty! MER!"

Man, you guys like cool stuff.

I LIKE cabbage.
well duh. that goes without saying.
I LIKE writers with original ideas (that's virtually everyone who has ever started a thread over in Homebrews.)
Yeah. All the setting here rock.
I LIKE cheap shlocky movies. Yes, I watch the Saturday night movies on the SciFi channal. People whose job it is to know these things inform me that I am not stupid; sorry I can't provide much evidence.
Woo! cheezy sci-fi is awesome.
I LIKE deep conversations.
Me too. I have random conversations about everything from thespiritual element of dying to quantum physics and relativity to the possibility of theological engeneering being an actual career choice in the future (this last one was an awesome talk i had with my sister that took place on the streetcar to, from and at a bar one random saturday.)
I LIKE cane grindings. Been years since I've been to one, but I remember the taste so well...
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I LIKE Stephen Colbert, Jackie Chan, Bette Davis, Alan Alda, Gabriel Byrne, Liv Tyler, Louis Armstrong, MST3K, John Travolta, The Marx Brothers, Kirsten Dunst, Christina Ricci, Eugene Levy, Sting, Billie Holiday, and Aerosmith. Among others.
Couple in there i'm not particularily a fan of and many more i would add, but for the most part those are some cool people.
I LIKE chocolate and peanut butter. Oddly, though, not together. BTW - Honey is nature's most nearly perfect food.
I agree wholeheartedly on both points, but seriously man, chocolate ice cream and peanutbutter is like gooey heaven in a bowl. It's sooo good. (and i'm addicted to Reesae cups too).
I LIKE people who can challenge without threatening.
Too many people like to fight way to much, but anyone who can participate in an intelligent debate that involves point and counterpoint and is actually willing to be convinced by the right argument are my favourite people.
I LIKE Ishmayl. Thanks for the use of the virtual hall, dude.
hear hear. I salute you dude. i don't have a sulute emote, so have a turtle  !turtle
I LIKE being quoted in the first post of a thread.
You're welcome.
I LIKE the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie, even if everyone else I know hated it.
It was amusing movie as long as you don't try to compare it to the books or the radio show. IT's not going to be the same, people. Accept that and then watch it as it's own thing.
I LIKE watching formulaic television shows. Sometimes it's nice know EXACTLY what's going to happen.
Who else likes Smallville and House? Those are immensely formulaic, but i love em.
I LIKE playing D&D. And other RPGs.
Well, i only have played D&D and Toon, but i love them both.
I LIKE creating characters, especially magic-users.
Me to. I've made lots for the Arena.
I LIKE finding money in the pocket of my winter coat.
i love that about the the start of winter. found 20 bucks, some sharpies and a box of matches this year. it was like my birthday.  :happybd:
I LIKE chatting randomly with other gamers. Especially in the Tavern.
Yep. Best reason for that thing.
I LIKE having an intellectual conversation without having it deteriorate into a flamewar because of some stupid jerk.
See above.
I LIKE long walks on the beach. Seriously.
I don't have a beach near my house, but i go for barefoot wals around my neighbourhood at night and walking though the sand of the park is similar. Also climbing trees in the park at night, cause people act all wierded out, but i know they're just jealous. :D
I LIKE standing outside when it's windy. Really windy.
I LIKE autumn.
Auttumn is the best season of the year IMO, and wind is a big part of why.
I LIKE cheese, a lot.
I'm addicted. Old White Cheddar, Young Mozzarella, and good brie are the best. (havarti is good too)
I LIKE Jackie Chan & Stephen Colbert too.
Woo! they're awesome. And Russel Peters should be added to that list.
I LIKE the original Power Rangers and the original   .
Never really a fan of PR, but ninja turtles are wicked.
I LIKE buckets of daisies. They smell nice.
Lilacs are better.
I LIKE optimizing martial characters. So those pansy spellcasters know who's boss.
Working out feat combos is more fun than combos of spells IMO. There's just more options to work out pre-game.
I LIKE reptillian Humanoids
Kobolds FTW yo!
I LIKE Dinosaurs. Especially Troodon and Velociraptors.
As a kid i read refernce books for fun insetead of novels. Dinos were one of my favs, and Troodons and Velociraptors we tops. Also, Quetzalcoatluses. They're like real like dragons, and they have an Aztec based name. How awesome is that? 50+ foot wingspan. up until them, they thought the limit for biological flyers was more like 20 feet, but they found one with a 59 foot span. (yeah, i'm a nerd. sue me. so are you)
I LIKE Hobgoblins with actual characterization. Too often I see the tragic Hobgoblin with nothing behind it but "I'm a monster so I'm Angsty! MER!"
Hobgoblins are too good to not use as the perfect (posibly artificially created) warrior race.

I LIKE Music... a lot (the list of stuff i listen to would probably go past the character limt if i post it here. to give you  an idea, i have about 95GB of music on my computer - just over 2 months non-stop).
I LIKE comics a lot. Stuff like Marvel's Ultimate Universe, anything from Vertigo, recent Batman stuff, most things from Image, Hellboy and BPRD, Invincible, and many webcomics and indy comics like Scott Pilgrim. I know the guy who does it and he's an awesomely cool person.
I LIKE drumming, playing guitar, piano, saxophone, trompbone, violin, bass, accordion and singing (and don't have nearly enough time to fully learn how to play all of those. Currently i play 4 of them and dabble in the rest)
I LIKE drawing (i sketch as a hobby and have a webcomic (currently on hiatus) and a few others in the works)
I LIKE food (oh god, do i love food!)
I LIKE random lists.

I LIKE "The Office"

I LIKE Gary Oldman, Kevin Spacey, Sir Ian McKellen, Jake Gyllenhall, Nathan Fillion, Johnny Depp, Anthony Stewart Head, Alexis Denisoff (who, in a perfect world, would have played Richard Reed in a much different Fantastic Four movie), Enrico Colantoni, Tony Shalhoub, Patrick Stewart, and probably many, many others whom I shamefully can't remember.

I LIKE dogs - especially rottweilers, dobermans, shepherds, and pugs.

I LIKE playing thought-provoking games like Starcraft and Myst.

I have no idea what you're talking about.


Cane grindings are virtually obsolete.  You go out into the country where someone is grinding sugar cane with a mule and a wooden grinder, then you just put a cup underneath rim of the reservoir to get some cane juice.  It is sweet and pulpy and dangerously perishable - just about the only way to taste it is to go to a cane grinding.  I have tried the various juices in the exotic aisle, and nothing even comes close.

I LIKE lots of RPGs- even the "really bad" ones.
I LIKE comics, particularly well-written ones that haven't been "CCA sanitized"
I LIKE learning about new things, even (and some might say especially) highly impractical things that have little- if any- direct impact on my life.
I LIKE multiple creative artforms; some, i find, suit the ideas and concepts i try to express better then others.
I LIKE long walks on the beach (no, i don't think park sand is the same, nor do i think swimming pools are. nothing against those who arent near a beach, but it's definately an experience)
I LIKE climbing trees. it can be exhilarating if you get high enough to feel the tree- the only thing keeping you from the ground- start to sway. besides, if bhudda could come up with the stuff he did just from sitting under a tree, imagine what he could've done actually in the tree.
I LIKE just being in nature, in general. at the risk of sounding like an elf-loving hippy, the natural world really is a beautiful thing.
I LIKE a lot of the things already listed on here.
I LIKE a lot of things that are neither previously listed, nor in this post. i may add a few things in edits.

I LOVE awesome old-school hip hop. Gangsta-rap = no good. A Tribe Called Quest/Blackalicious/De La Soul = soo good.
I LOVE experimental post-rock. Stuff like Sigut Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Air, Mogwai, Do Make Say Think and Drums and Tuba
I LOVE Ani Difranco, Tom Waits and Laurie Anderson. I know they have nothing to do with each other, but they are 3 of my favourite musicians ever.

I LIKE random quotes that make you think

I LIKE random quotes that are just plain ridiculous

I LIKE settings that make you go "I wish I had thought of that"

I LIKE webcomics, of all sorts.

I LIKE basketball, and I made Varsity this year, w00t!

I LIKE cheese too, crazy coincidence!

EDIT: I LIKE the edit function

I LIKE writing, whether it be poetry, novels, or just little vignettes.
