(no subject)
Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.
my subjects from leaute
books: I've had tons of books since before I can even remember and my parents always read to me on request (usually it was Alice for the very young). My family just always read books, they were always around. Stacks of readers digest, the encyclopedia, hand me down novels and I suppose some of it was just to fend of boredom from growing up in the middle of nowhere. As I got older it just stayed with me, I was disinterested a lot in school so I would often hide books in my desk and finish a children's novel before the day was out instead of paying attention to the lesson. I also just love words, sometimes an author can write a sentence and there is an intense moment of understanding between the reader and writer, it may only happen once or twice in an entire book but when it does occur it's touching, as if someone knows exactly what you're feeling. I have to admit I haven't finished a book since last july or august but I enjoy just being surrounded by books, I like the way they feel in my hand, the smell of a good old one. I'd sleep on top of all them if I could.
utena: Utena was found by accident. I was with an old friend of mine (a friend I had a crush on in high school), she was really into Sailor Moon and we went to the video store where she found a VHS of Utena and we rented it. Awkwardness unused because of the girl/girl subject manner but watching it with her has become a sentimental memory. Since seeing the whole series I love it so much because of the theme, that girls, women need to become their own princes, no one can save you but yourself. It's also really fucking weird, I dig that too.
fashion: Life is just a big game of dress-up to me. My mother is a great seamstress and since I was a little girl she made me dresses. My love for period pieces come from my mother as well, we would often watch movies like Gone With the Wind just to see the costumes. I was born in the wrong time, I want hats, gloves, skirts and pearls so a lot of my interest in fashion is finding a way to bring dress-up into an everyday world. Really I just never grew up, I'm still that four-year-old prancing in front of the mirror in her grand-mothers costume jewelry.
writing: I spent so much time ripping up things I had written, I thought it sucked, which it did but I didn't understand that even the best had to work their way up. Because I wasted so much time my writing is at a high school level, although it has improved in the last couple years. I write for me, I dont intend to ever get published or write the next great american novel. I do it because you feel like you have to, you just have to get it out. At the core I consider myself a diarist, it's what I pay the most attention to and where I write the most openly but I do attempt poems, short stories and there's a teleplay in there somewhere. It's awful but I love my characters, they're awesome.
'Don't go to bed. Nobody's allowed to go to bed tonight!': I stay up insanely late (last night I was up until four) and I love to talk, talk about everything and anything so when people are drinking and partying you always hit this point at like 2am where you have these great, deep, interesting conversations and I live for that, literally it's my meaning in life just talking. So I just never want it to be over (even though, if you've noticed once 5am rolls around I'm often the first to say their going to bed).
also got a new layout, banner really.
