Poetry, philosophy, martial arts, mountain biking, hanami (cherry blossom viewing), eating sushi. I play a lot of video games, and not just for entertainment purposes. If you have the intention, you can learn much more from video games than common belief agrees with.

Spirited Away, Fullmetal Alchemist (among plenty of other anime movies), the Harry Potter movies are good (not as good as the books, though), Man on Fire, countless comedies, and various horror movies (for the pure thrill). I usually consider most meaningful movies (such as Pay It Forward) to be masterpieces due to their rarity.

I listen to anything with prominent, meaningful lyrics and themes. Music is not just entertainment to me; it helps me think, motivates me. I listen to all kinds of music, from Tupac to Ayumi Hamasaki to Iron Maiden. Lately I've also gotten into non-lyrical music. I find music without words often very poetic and interesting. Also, it is very open to interperetation, which means I can think more freely about it. I get headaches when I don't listen to music for a while; I seriously need my tunes. When that happens, I have to put on some really heavy metal to get my head feeling right again.

The Holy Qur'an.=) For entertainment, I like to read fantasy books, sci-fi, anything interesting that keeps my fancy and occupies my thoughts. I like choose-your-own adventure books, too. I think the Harry Potter books are excellent. I also read alot of non-fiction about nature and animals. I also enjoy philosophy books where I can find them. At the school library, the philosophy section seems to be completely devoid of other readers, which I consider to be amusing.
Oh, and I'm really into Stephen King's stuff, as well as other horror.

Intelligence, inner strength, sweetness, making time for me, moral responsibility, general understanding, an open mind and a poetic soul are all very important to me. I prefer a playful personality as well. I also like athleticism because it shows strength of a sort. I want to be cared about. In addition, I consider a positive attitude to be an important asset.

Alcohol, drugs, smoking, anger, ignorant and/or negative attitudes...general negativity. I absolutely despise infidelity. Also, I can't stand or handle golddiggers. Not that there's much to dig for. Heh.

I am a Muslim, and I try to be as devout and dedicated as possible. I am happily open to any questions and polite discussion about Islam. I practice five martial arts: shotokan karate, Japanese ju-jitsu, kickboxing, kobudo bojutsu, and a self-styled form of kenjutsu that I like to call Yumedo. I love the ocean, I'm addicted to music, and I play a lot of video games.

Oh, and I've also recently discovered that I'm bipolar. No, that does NOT mean that I'm gay. Ha ha. Seriously, I'm not. I'm not a closet homosexual either. Bipolar disorder is, as named, a mental disorder, with the most prominent symptoms including alternating episodes of (sometimes psychotic) mania and depression. Since the psychiatrist I was referred to is a quack, I don't get to be treated with mood stabilizers, so I can be a bit...wacky sometimes.
