Five Words
This is from megan_moonlight:
MEME:: Comment to this post, and I will list five things I associate with you. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ (or just add a reply back to me). Other people (including me) can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.
My five words are: Steampunk, Sherlock Holmes, Arisawa Tatsuki, music, reading
(I hope I'm doing this right)
Steampunk: How can one not like this? You are talking about a time where time and history has almost no meaning. Where technology exists in the wrong centuries, where fashion would make people to triple-takes, and weaponry that would make our modern armies quake with fear. I love how people can escape to their own worlds, just by slapping on some goggles, putting on a pair of boots, or shouldering your handmade, brass and bronze, diesel-powered, multi-gauged, thingamabober. It is so much fun to go to a steampunk convention, you can discuss your favorite steam literature, or mock how the Anti- Airpirate Movement is doing so terribly. Ahh yes, steampunk is truly an excellent subculture.
Sherlock Holmes: If there was any man that everybody knows, it is Sherlock Holmes. He is argued if he was a real person or not. But regardless of that, Holmes was one of the greatest minds of literature. Here was a man that could deduce a complex problem from something so simple as a shoe print, the misplacement of a rug, or the remnants of wine in three glasses. Then, Sherlock Holmes was brought back with the BBC Series. I loved watching Holmes in the modern world.
Arisawa Tatsuki: Whoa that is weird; last night I changed my computer desktop to a picture of Tatsuki. Cool. Why I like Tatsuki? Why not! She's cool, tough, sassy, a loyal friend, and she is kick-ass! Also, she is the runner-up karate player in Japan. Tatsuki is one of my favorite characters from Bleach. It was so cool to watch her beat up a bunch of Hollow-possessed people. She was prepared to step in and defend her best friend Orihime, even if it meant risking her life. Man, I wish you saw more of Tatsuki in Bleach!
Music: Music. One of the biggest things in my life. I play it, listen to it, watch it, live it. One of the best things in my life is just turning on the radio, cranking it up, and start bashing on those skins. I like to listen to the classic rock bands; but not that ballad shit like Boston, Chicago, Rush, Journey, and Queen. I like The Ramones, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Van Halen, The Clash, The Small Faces, The Who, The Blues Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Jett, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, The White Stripes, Jefferson Airplane, Led Zeppelin, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, Rainbow, Billy Squier, Tom Petty, AC/DC, Bob Dylan, Abney Park(Steampunk), Foster the People, Cream, David Bowie, Gary Numan, The Doors, Green Day, IN THAT ORDER. Just kiddin'! So yeah, I love music.
Reading: Ahh, reading. What a great way to pass the time. To open a book and escape to another world. Wow, what a cliché. :) But seriously, I really enjoy doing this. I prefer Victorian literature, mystery novels, P. G. Wodehouse of the Jeeves and Wooster stories, science fiction, and manga. I have recently started rereading, for about the fourth time, the Fullmetal Alchemist series. Fuck! Why do the Japanese Beach books have to be so far ahead than the English ones? I want more Bleach dammit! *Breathing* Okay I am okay now.
I would just like to say thanks to megan_moonlight for doing this, it was a lot of fun.
