Icons and Interests

[netaria]

This is in response to snowaltz who also did this at her journal. Basicly you pick 3 icons and 3 interests of mine and ask about them. If you take part then I get to ask the same of you, which you then answer in an entry at your journal. :D I think it's a cute way to get to know everybody better.

heh, Well, the first Icon is easy as it pretty much goes with coffee listed as an interest. It could be listed as an addiction. :p The character is Yuki from Fruit's Basket and I am pretty sure he was actually drinking tea, but I didn't make the icon. Coffee Knows Best....well, it makes me think of this hilarious image I found...I have a host of coffee related images, maybe I'll share them in my next entry after Of Blood Pt 4? To emphasize my point it is 7:22pm here and I am drinking a Mocha Latte...ehheh.

The character in this I am pretty sure is Shippo(sp?) from Inu Yasha, but I had grabbed it for the text, because I thought I was the only person who used Ass Hat and laughed my ass off when I saw the icon, it was a must have.

The foxy is reading a book entitled Your Face is Like a Book...but this is the last "fox" icon that remains from the first batch of icons I had on here. I will have to find them and show them off at some point if I still have them.

Viva Pinata is a game that we had rented for our daughter to play, but I ended up addicted too. In it you clean up and care for a garden and pinatas. It's really quite fun. :D My "gamer" icon is Les one of the characters from the show and game. (Which is the one I used this time, for simplicity's sake. :)

Corinne Bailey Rae is a phenomenal young jazz musician, I love listening to her music while I cook.

Symbolism, ahhh, such a fascinating subject! So many points to talk about! There's religious symbolism, cultural symbolism, where the two intersect, not to mention personal symbolism. For instance, when reading a book many times symbolism is used and sometimes one catches it and at others one doesn't. I love learning symbolism for bothe my own purposes as a collector of knowledge as well as a writer, but also because it helps me to further understand things. --Like if you watch Curse of the Golden Flower, the knowledge that Chrysanthemum's represent Truth among Asian cultures adds a lot to the movie. ---And it's fun to use, like the Sakura references I made in Part 1 of Of Blood. Personal symbolism is also very interesting. Such as, if two people have a dream involving their child hood home, going outside and seeing a snake...these two dreams can have vastly different meanings. Was the childhood home a happy place or a place of terror and pain(in real life) and if they weren't raised in a culture that villified snakes they probably represent change, but if one is phobic of them...see? So many interesting things...I could keep going on and on forever, so I'll shut up now.

AHHA! So! Icons are: touching god, the reason, and exodus pt2
Interests: apulanta, him, and riddick/jack(is that as opposed to riddick/keira?)

YAYs!!!!!
