Comment and I will give you 3 interests from your list and 3 icons for you to explain.

taibhrigh gave me:

1. rabbits: I love animals - expecially cats & dogs - followed closely by cute widdle floofy bunnikins! Gah! Insulin shock! And I live sorta in the country and, sometimes, if I'm coming home at night, when I pull into the yard, I can see a rabbit or two hopping across my lawn. There was a black&white long-eared one last night!

2. reading: I don't remember ever not reading. Mom said she read to us as kids, but I don't remember that. I just remember reading. In elementary school, when I was hooked on Nancy Drew, I'd take 2 or 3 to school to read there. I just read faster than anyone else and I'd get through assignments quicker, so I'd check my work and then pull out a book. The teachers never bothered me - and I'd usually read all 3 books too :)

3. movies: What's not to love? Climate-controlled, popcorn- & soda-infused escapism at its finest. Drama, action, adventure, science fiction, fantasy - much pickier about comedies and chick flicks and, oddly, not really big on horror movies.

Hmmm, actually reading and movies were greatly influence by Mom - Dad too - but more Mom. We read lots of the same books (I usually recommended them to her) and saw lots of the same movies (probably equal amounts, but my genre choices were wider). We'd go out to eat and both pull out books instead of talking; and we'd go to the movies, getting there early to make sure we had time to get popcorn, and pull out books until the previews started :)

: Ithy made it - I like it as a celebration/congratulations type icon - also the drink looks good :)

: I made it - I wanted a wintery icon and I love snowflakes - one of the links on my page goes to a site where you can cut out snowflakes. I've also cross stitched one - haven't gotten it framed yet though.
