  1. I think it would be more accurate for me to list what I don't like rather than what I do--because I like many different styles of music. Even so, I find that I mostly enjoy and mostly buy that of the greater rock type. And to be honest, some of my favorite bands produce......crap. But I don't care. What I don't like is brassy jazz, and the contemporary pop types, disco, some others. However, even within the categories of music I don't like, I can usually find a song or an artist whose music I enjoy. I discover them most often by recommendation from someone. Thing is, even those styles I don't normally like, I can enjoy when in the right context. Live performances tend to facilitate that more easily than recordings. Recent discoveries, and bands/artists that I am currently listening to nearly everyday since are the Black Keys, The National, John Grant, Imogene Heap, Live, Dan Sartain. Old favorites include k.d.lang, Texas Tornadoes, Zepplin, Leonard Cohen, Nick Lowe, Poets of the Fall, Rammstein (helps me with my German), Staind, Them Crooked Vultures, Audioslave,.......I could go on.
  2. My favorite writing implement is any pen that writes dense, black ink and has a liquid reservoir. Never a ball point. Currently in use I have Uniball Vision fine (0.5 preferred) and Bic Z4. For sketching I prefer mechanical pencils.
  3. Hi, new here, first post; I promise nothing erudite in it. I have enough experience with mental health professionals to render an anecdotal opinion; that opinion is that they were, at best disappointing, and at worst marginally injurious. The conclusion I have come to as a result of my own experiences, is to have no confidence in them. I'm not saying that most of them, as persons, weren't empathetic--they were--but what they had to offer amounted to nothing more than temporary and partial amelioration of symptoms and bullshit sessions that did not address any of my issues or give me any method or technique for dealing with those issues. The only useful thing I received from psychiatry was a diagnosis.
