It's always the same, you're jumping someone else's train

I don't often do memes. And this one, in fact, I've done before. But that was a while back and now there are new people on the list and new interests on the queue.

Look over my interests.
If you see one you'd like explained, or you'd like me to explain why I'm interested in it, post a comment. Most of them, I'm pretty sure, are self explanatory.

Comments

Okay, okay, please explain "unrequited love." Please tell me this is the name of some cool local accapella group that performs in the coffee shops and bookstores of Mountain View and you're not actually into not having your love returned??? Because, dude, you deserve love!

It's more of an unintentional hobby than an interest really. Just one that I happen to be quite skilled in. (:

It was a most wise comment, and I acted upon it as it was offered in the spirit of sagacity and altruism. Thank you.

We love the Swanky Modes.

[bad-elf.livejournal.com]

Wow. You have a *lot* of interests!

Any passing fad?

Long drapey trenchcoats?

Urban fantasy?

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac?

And... The Swanky Modes! Great movie.

The reason I have a lot of interests is because they only let you have 150. Otherwise I would have a lot more.

"Any passing fad" is a line from La Vie Boheme, the Act I closing number for Rent. It's a song about hedonism, about carpe diem, and about all the wonderful things there are in this life.

"Long drapey trenchcoats" look dramatic and very cool. I'm all about looking dramatic and very cool.

"Urban Fantasy" is about elves and fairies that live in today's cities, in the parks, in that big Victorian on the corner or in a fifth floor walkup in Sunset. I'm most fond of authors like De Lint, Bull, Brust, and Shetterly.

"Johnny the Homicidal Maniac" is a comic book by Jhonen Vasquez, about a Homicidal Maniac and the nature of reality.

And, of course, "We love the Swanky Modes".

Me likey! All of the above. Well, maybe not JohnnytheHomicidalManiac. But definitely the hedonism. And the long drapey trenchcoats. (Silent Bob!) And esPECially the elves and fairies living in today's cities. Many in Monterey?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

And you know, somebody asked about that last time too. (:
Ofra Haza was a Yemeni singer who performed near-eastern folk songs with a dance beat, a precursor to people like Natacha Atlas or Transglobal Underground, and one of the early 'worldbeat' artists.
She died in 2000, and there is a strong suspicion that the reason she died was because she'd contracted AIDS and felt she had to hide it.

I haven't been to Monterey in about eight years, but it strikes me as highly likely.

Oh.. that's sad.. :( Sound like good music tho.
