It would be terribly difficult to choose. Shakespeare? Langston Hughes? Dorothy Parker? Spaulding Gray? Oscar Wilde? Yeah, probably Oscar if i had to choose just one.
I could best describe my personality as
An artistic extrovert that lives with herself well.
Favorite Music Genre
Impossible to say. Jazz is a great favorite as is rock and blues and singer/songwriter...
Favorite Movie Genre
Possibly comedies? But, it would also depend on my mood for the day. I'm a science fiction freak and studied history in graduate school, so movies on those themes also appeal.
Favorite Book Genre

Favorite Artist

Favorite Book
Other than cheekily saying the ones i've written, i could not possibly answer that question.
Favorite Movie
Also another one where i couldn't say. There have been too many that touched my heart. For a long time i would have said "The Elephant Man" but i'm no longer angst-filled.
My two top VIA Character strengths are
