Board games: What's that one where you had to stuff a ball bearing down a chimney? That was always fun.
Computer games: I live in a house with three very sad computer games addicts, which is a good reason for not playing them...

Magazines: NME, but only because I have to.
Food: Veggie stuff, especially pasta & rice dishes. And chocolate.
Colors: My wardrobe is insisting that it's black, but it isn't.
Drinks: Anything with a low alcohol content, to avoid those embarrassing "pissed pixie" incidents.
