Not sure…

Probably Franke Park – a zoo in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where they had pony rides (and horse trail rides, as I got older).

Clerks
Anne Rice?
I haven’t read anything since Memnoch The Devil, and I never could make my way through Feast of all Saints, but yeah, I like her.

English of any kind

Pepsi

Still don’t give a fuck.

And yes, not giving a fuck is still highest on the list!
