>> favorite vampire movie (vampire actor/dracula actor)?

I really like "Bram Stoker's Dracula" despite the fact that Keanu Reeves can't act his way out of a paper bag, but I digress.  Gary Oldman is the best,  creepiest, sexiest Dracula ever, in my opinion.  And I also loved "Shadow of a Vampire."

>>  biggest pet peeve?

Stupid people and stupid drivers! Please don't breed.

>> favorite song lyrics?

If it were within our power, beyond the reach of slavish pride.
To no longer harbor grievances behind the mask's facade. 
We could welcome the responsibility like a long lost friend,
and re-establish the kingdom of laughter in the dolls house once again.
For time has imprisoned us
in the order of our years,
in the discipline of our ways
and in the passing of momentary stillness
we can view our chaos in motion...
we are chaos in motion...
you are chaos in motion.

"In the Kingdom of the Blind the One-eyed are Kings"
Dead Can Dance

Trouble, oh trouble set me free
you have made me a wreck now won't you leave me in my misery.

"Trouble"
Cat Stevens

I've grown tired of love, you are the trouble with me
I watch you walk right by, I smile you do not notice me
Treat me recklessly, all you do is toss me pennies
But the silence in me screaming won't you come and get me

"Fool to Think"
Dave Matthews Band


I wen't crazy again today
Looking for a strand to climb, looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn't stay wouldn't put his lips to mine
a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
I said honey I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
come on put a little love in my void
He said, "It's all in your head"
I said, "So's everything," but he didn't get it
I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy
Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad oh it kills
cuz I know I'm a mess he don't want to clean up
I've got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts but starving works
When it costs too much to love...

"Paper Bag"
Fiona Apple


You know she lives in the room 29
Well that's the one right on top of mine...

I hear her walking, walking  barefoot across the floor
all through this lonesome night
I hear her crying too, tears come splashing down
leaking through the cracks, down upon my face
catch them in my mouth...

"From Her to Eternity"
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
