Comment on this post. I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.

That's what she asked for - plus an extra that was asked by monophobia in a similar meme. Some interests overlapped, so I combined them together. :D

comparing turkeys — This is from a period when I was reading a LOT of Manics Interviews. Tried looking for a link, this is what I've come up with.

BRYAN ADAMS: Do I have To Say The Words?

Well, I'd rather make a cup of tea than listen to that, which is what
I'm doing at the moment. Everything I dislike about music, Bryan Adams
is the epitomy. Corporate rock, terrible production, designed for radio,
no thought, no soul, no sensitivity, no sex, inoffensive, easy,
involves nothing. You can't even compare it to his other stuff because
how can you compare turkeys? A turkey is a turkey. 0/5

gay married fish — Haha - this comes from a chat with my friend K. We were talking (I don't remember why) about how the good men are always either taken or gay. People keep telling you there's other fish in the sea, but what if they're either married or gay? Or gay and married? And there you go, I had a new interest.


gmail - inbox (1) — I love receiving emails. ;P And I believe I totally nicked this from K's interests list, too.


kicking_dumbledore_when_he's_down — Hehehehe! I wonder if K is connected to every interesting interest I've got :P One day, K and Ni and me were all lj-chatting on an lj-entry of Ni's - surprise surprise - and we started talking ill of Dumbledore. After he'd got down (see emotear at the end of... book 5, it was?) I do love being a mean bitch.


paddofotto —

As for the other things...

Do you know which is the transliteration of 'Padfoot' in Japanese?

Paddofotto.

Now, I'm sure this doesn't ring any bell for the most of you. Save the Italians. Because, you see, the word 'fotto' is our equivalent for 'I fuck'.

This had me giggling for at least fifteeen minutes. Just so you know. (Information gently provided by emosuke!)

rubber_chicken_with_a_pully_in_the_middle — Anyone knows of Monkey Island? No? So you've never heard of Rubber Chickens With Pullies In Their Middle? No? Sad. :D


wonderland overdrive — Series of original stories (a fandom, if you will) written by my very good friend joeru. :D They can all be found on her The Folly's Lounge.


sirius-black-is-hiding-in-remus-lupin's-pants — PoA, Ch.5 - The Dementor, page 96 paperback edition:

"And Professor Lupin stepped over you, and walked toward the dementor, and pulled out his wand," said Hermione, "and he said, 'None of us is hiding Sirius Black under our cloaks. Go.' "

YES, DARLING, WE SURE BELIEVE THAT.



Also - I got an email frome Ebay last week. Because yes, I'd signed up and completely forgot about it. So they say, try selling (up to three) something(s)! On these days it will be free of charge for you! Fact is, the days were 18 - 22 of October, so yeah, that means tomorrow is my last day. (I had kind of forgot about that email too.) I also have no idea what I could sell. Except from maybe drawings, but would you be interested in that? King of Cups would probably be a casualty, but I should go browse in my folder, I'm not even sure of what I've got. And I could get off my lazy butt and finish at least one of the hundreds half sketches I've got lying about. What do you think? Totally honest, it's not like I'd get offended either way :D

I'm trying to think whether any of my interests really deserve explication, but if you find some that interest you, let me know!

And, please alert us if you decide to open an ebay art dealership.

In the end I decided against it. :) I starting taking a look too late, I didn't want to do a rushed thing, which is exactly what I would have done. :P If anything, it gave me a chance to touch up King of Cups a little, though. ;)

They're not really seven, but... arthouse/foreign cinema, being a walking anachronism, contra dance, overdressing for the occasion, random acts of kindness.

(I especially like the last one - I'm very, very tempted to steal it. ;D)

It's at my journal, love!
