Name - Rebecca
A girl who's into collecting / making toy soldiers? That's rare...
Anyway, obligatory pointing of things out aside...
Name - Kenny. (Ynek is just Kenny backwards minus one 'N' to make it look a bit less recognisable)
Age - 22
Occupation - Student, barman, commission movie maker.
Fav Colour - Since black is technically a tone rather than a colour, probably green.
Fav food - A nameless chicken-based dish that I cobbled together from cupboard-remnants.... Heart disease never tasted so good. Still make it on occasion.
Fav drink - Pineapple juice. For the most part, I'm a non-drinker. (Not quite teetotal, but if you ever see me with alcohol in my hand, it's normally a cause for much pointing.)
Fav Movie - At the moment, it's Megamind.
Fav GW Game - All the specialist games, to be honest. Although I'm most active as an Inquisitor player, I also enjoy playing Epic40k with my necron army, and battlefleet gothic with my necron, kroot and imperial fleets. Not to mention my (as yet unbeaten) blood bowl team...
Fav Video Game - R.U.S.E. 554 hours of experience and couting. Sad, I know.... But such an awesome game.
Fav Music - Anything that conjurs up strong mental images. Usually something without lyrics, or at least lyrics in another language which I don't understand.
Fav Author - J.K Rowling. That woman made my childhood.
Love - Cake.
Hate - Finding out that the cake is a lie, and that I have in fact been given lemons. What am I supposed to do with these anyway? I demand to see the manager. Make them rue the day that they thought they could give me lemons. You know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn their house down. With lemons. I'm gonna invent a combustable lemon to burn things down. Hmm. Maybe I should change my answer to the video game question...

Food - A European style wood fired pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella, oregano and black olives. A favourite is from Sucré Salé in La Palmyre on the French Atlantic coast. (They do good crepes too.)
Drink - Orange juice, but if I drank it in the kind of quantities I'd like to I'd a) spend a fortune, b) contract anti-scurvy and c) get mouth ulcers.
Movie - I don't have a strict favourite, but I'll say Serenity to tie it in to my favourite TV series.
TV Series - Firefly.
GW Game - Guess.
Video Game - Generally action/shooter games, although no particular favourite.

Favourite:
Place - London (just as well as I live there) for its multiculural and wierd hidden bits, Berlin for lazy holidays, anywhere cold (hate, oh, thats later).
Food - Curry, not horrendously hot vinderloo or phal, but anything spicey; and preferably home made or from the Holy Cow (a real quality takeaway chain in London). Also fond of anything Mexican, and hearty German food; sauerkraut, dumplings and pigs knuckle tops my list over there.
Drink - Coffee, it's pretty much the only thing I drink. Alcohol at weekends only (binge drinker possibly) and usually a nice Syrah/Merlot/Rioja or Gin, or proper Bitter if I'm out on the town.
Movie Favourite is usually something I can just about remember (see: Age) Waltz With Bashir and True Grit were recent favourites, early Marx Brothers and Kurisowa are perennial goodies.
GW Game - Inquisitor (still only played once) - the rest of them leave me cold. Previous history of serious role-play (Call of Cuthulu, GURPS western, psyberpunk etc).
PC Game - Proper gaming, note, not button mashing on a console! Total War series and numerous Mods are excellent and always loaded, Far Cry for a FPS - currently playingMetro 2033 -not bad either and Mount & Blade. Used to have a heavy Eve habit, but thankfully went cold turkey on that.
Music - Psychobilly (Cramps,Trashmen, Hasil Adkins) Metal-bashing (Liabach, SPK) Dance (Dangermaus, Unkle, Fergie) Jimi of course; anything 'odd' and even a bit of Kylie on occasion.
Author - Difficult to list a favourite, but Chandler, Pratchett, James Elroy, O'Brien: I tend to read more non-fiction.
Love - wee Frieda (daughter), endlessly amusing, books, not being at work. Oh, and the missus of course.
Hate - Being patronised, holidays on the beach/in the sun and people who wear brown shoes with a suit - very, very wrong...
