Introduction:
Here is a list of my favourite things. They are listed in categories. You should find that some have a very extensive list and yet the list itself cannot contain all of my favourites. The order of the list in each category are not in any particular order as of yet. I think I may decide on just placing them in alphabetic order. I am also in the process of breaking up large lists to make them more readable. I have not decided yet. Some of the categories will start with my top favorites. My favourite films currently is a prime example. At the top of the page you will find where I will keep a date as to show when I have updated this page. I must admit that I my tastes change from time to time. Perhaps you will get to know deeper understanding of who I am through these various lists and may even discover some new things in the process. Anyhow, on with the list.
