Firstly, I want to express my hope that everyone read the January 30th entry. I just don’t feel I left it up long enough for everyone to catch it. Anywho, this will probably be pretty brief, as it seems people are “drying up” as far as questions go. All except: Spidey!
Why, out of all the Superheroes in the world, did you happen to choose Batman? Who is your favorite author? What is your favorite book and why?

Why indeed. WELL. Firstly, I like the whole fact that he doesn’t believe in killing his enemies. Secondly, I like the fact that he doesn’t have a superpower and relies solely on his intelligence and the knowledge he has gained over a lifetime of study and self-discipline. I like the fact that he uses a good portion of his wealth on charitable causes, and I like the fact that for the most part he is a gentleman. I also LOVE his style. His choice of cars, his costume, his fighting, all of it. Another thing I like is that he has some REALLY cool villians. The Joker is hilarious, Ra’ al Ghoul is just BRILLIANT (my favorite bad guy), and Mr. Freeze, though he has a somewhat cheesy name, breaks my heart. That poor guy has a really sad story behind him and every time I see him in a comic book or on TV in a cartoon (NOT portrayed by Arnold in the rumored 4th film. Yeah, rumored. It is dead to me.) I get all choked up. Way deep down, but I feel for the guy. Hate the Penguine. Catwoman, not Halle Berry’s laughable attempt but the real deal, is pretty cool. The romance between her and Batman was interesting to observe. The Scarecrow is probably the creepiest villian ever. (See the January 27th entry for more reasons why I like Batman.)
Yes, I like Batman for those reasons, and probably more I can’t think of. That or I just don’t want to embarrass myself further in front of all the gorgeous possibly at one time interested women that I KNOW visit my site. . . . .
Ok, you can laugh now. Come on, it’s ok.
As the Joker said, “Haven’t you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?”
Then I think he kills someone. Moving on.
My favorite author. . . that’s tough. I would have to say that Tolkien is my favorite author though I’ve only read the Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring. The mythology and ideals that man wrote about reach out and touch me on a level that few can relate to. Aragorn is my hero. *tear*
My favorite book, however, is a different matter. I can’t narrow it down. I just love books in general. I love most of the Star Wars books, even if there is the occasional Planet of Twilight or Crystal Star. Or heck, why not throw the Correllian Trilogy in there while we are on the subject. Nate, you know what I’m talking about. But yes, I love books. Heck just looking at a shelf full of books makes me feel good. There is just something beautiful about books that makes my day.
That’s it for this “round.” Please ask more questions if you have them, and don’t be afraid to pry deep. Test my limits. Poke places that might hurt. If I don’t want to answer them, I won’t. Dont’ be afraid of “inciting my wrath” or anything. But yeah, if you stop asking questions then I’ll have to try and find interesting things to blog about and you all know how that will go, especially since the Mystery Girl Epic came to a close.
Gooooooooooodnight Vietnam.
