Meme again
I've already done this meme once before but what the heck. Different questions, anyway.
Meme: Comment to this post and I will give you five subjects/things I associate with you. Then post this to your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.
This time from lustidyllic
1. Hip hop
2. Lolita
3. Adelaide
4. Greece
5. Shakespeare
1. I'm pretty sure everyone on earth relates me to hip-hop :P I've already answered this one in my previous posting of this meme so I'll just paste it.
My favourite genre of music. I only -really- got into hip hop a couple of years ago, and my tastes have progressed much since then (a lot of regular hip-hop is almost too 'normal' for me nowadays XD) but even though I listen to much more of the experimental kind lately I will still always love hip-hop. I can sit forever and just be mesmerized by the MC's rhymes over amazing beats. It's such a varied music genre: unlike most metal genres where every song and artist sounds the same, hip hop can go any way you want it to. Complex orchestral samples, sci-fi electronic sounds or a simple old school beat, there's so much variety. An amazing art form.
2. Lolita
I'm rather new to lolita, my infatuation started around November last year, maybe. Despite this, I think I've learnt pretty well and I've only just started to actually look around at building my wardrobe. My reasons for liking it are quite varied and complex, but the short version is that lolita is beautiful, and with discovering it I've sort of rediscovered my 'feminine side'. :P Wearing it will be something different for most who know me, haha. I'm pretty sure the conception most people have of me is not pretty Victorian clothing.
3. Adelaide
I've lived in little old Adelaide for my whole life. Many people I know hate Adelaide, but I actually love this place. It has a charm to it. It's backwater, but it's *my* backwater. It's a lovable backwater. Sure, some say it's boring because not much happens. But it sorta suits me. I'm not the kinda person that needs/wants a million attractions to make me happy or occupied. Adelaide is humble and slow-paced while still being a city, and I like that. Plus, it's much prettier than Melbourne.
4. Greece
What can I say...I'm Greek. =] Both sides of my family are Greek, my grandparents came here in the 50s. None of my relatives have ever married a non-Greek before, which is sorta scary. But I love being Greek, wouldn't have it any other way. Unfortunately I'm not fluent in the language, but I do understand a bit.
5. Shakespeare
To be honest, I'm not one of those obsessive fans who can quote entire scenes off the tops of their heads. I love Shakespeare, and definitely enjoy his writings, but I'm not extremely over-the-top or dedicated. My favourite Shakespeare play would have to be Macbeth without a doubt...maybe that decision is partly influenced by the fact I was in a PAC production of Macbeth, but I truly do think it's a fascinating play with incredible characters.
