Step on in for a Maui travelogue with photos. (Or just go here if you want to see the photos without reading the travelogue. But I warn you, you'll miss the saga of Dave's boat.)

Interests meme. Yah.

LJ Interests meme results

1. chocolate:
   What's not to like? Prefer dark, bittersweet, smooth solid chocolate; but also like it as a drink, mixed with warm milk. I'm hardly alone in this.
2. e-publishing:
   Will it reach the mad popularity of mp3s, or go the way of the 8-track? I don't know, but I'm riding the wave to see.
3. fiction:
   By far my favorite type of reading and writing. And if you're going to write nonfiction, I like it to be written in the style of fiction. Otherwise I will call it a "reference book." Those have their time and place, but they don't exactly transport my soul, y'know?
4. hair:
   One of my top two or three favorite external-aesthetic features to admire on others. Prefer thick, shiny, clean, wavy; all at once. NOT a reference to the hippie musical.
5. jane eyre:
   (dork voice) Probably, like, one of my favorite books in the universe. Read for its skills and magic. (/dork) Romance, vintage Gothness, virtue, the northern English countryside...ahhh.
6. macintosh:
   My home computer of choice for life so far.
7. pacific northwest:
   My home of choice so far.
8. satire:
   Not quite as friendly as "parody" or, perhaps, "irony," but still awfully funny in the right hands.
9. tact:
   "Before you speak (or type), ask yourself: 'Is it true? Is it necessary?'" Still working on enforcing that on myself.
10. words:
    A fine place LiveJournal would be without them.
