7 things from your interests Jobby
Comment on this post & I will choose seven interests from your profile. you will then explain what they mean/why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.
•j-metal
- Which is Japanese Metal if you didn't know! In many way I just like music but I find an interesting aspect of listening to foreign music is how the inability to understand the lyrics forces you to simply consider the voice to be a seperate instrument. Currently I only have a bit of Malice-Mizer but in THE FUTURE I would like more
•making good hot chocolate
- Seriosuly. Sachets are terrible. Digbys in the royal arcade sell what is basically grated belgian chocolate. Measure out enough milk for whoever is going to be drinking [if you want to be hella ott on it measure out about 3/4 cup per person...], add a cinimon stick and a vanilla pod (in the future I want to try with maybe nutmeg) Heat gently in a saucepan. When it gets warm start slowing adding the chocolate. if you have some cocoa or something add a little bit of that. maybe add some sugar depending on taste. Pour into cups. if you only did the 3/4 of a cup milk make up the rest with cream. Whipped cream on top is always recommended and I reccomend buying like flakes or something as well. Basically I find doing this to be fun in the way that effort sometimes is
•varieties of tea
- Tea is ace, as an englishperson I understand this inherently. But there are so many types of tea. While i'm not a massive fan of, for example, rose congou, Lady grey or Lapsang. there are varieties of Earl Grey which have a slight Lapsang taste to them, which is nice in that context. It turns tea into a whole area of study or something. Basically drink more tea.
Also at Maelstrom there was a tea house and when I said 'I'd like a Chai' the person said 'what kind' and made it from seperate ingredients and it was basically the best place in the world.
•whatever melt banana is
- When I wrote these I wrote them in not-alphabetical order. this one was at the end of the music list. Melt Banana are a band. I don't know what genre they count as. Kinda metal is probably the best I can come up with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpAXBwM_VMc is probably their easiest song to listen to
•concept of not thinking
What happens when you die? theres no 'you' to think anymore. Its not like sleep where there is some vague sembalance of awareness. Theres no intelligence to percieve the nothing that you are. I personally can't say I can fully comprehend that idea but it still fascinates me
•owod
stand for Old World of Darkness. I play and run in a few games using this gaming system and it takes up far too much (not enough) of my time/brain-space
•learning
this actually has two parts. Education is a really important thing to everyone and is something y'all should be interested in. Secondly I'm always interested in learning more myself and losing out on a chance to learn something is always bad.
