Beauty & Inspiration and the people that hold them. ART of all sorts (making my own and experiencing that of
others)
-tattoos/piercings -photography
-music
-poetry / stories -drawing
etcetera -- Art is everything. Everything is art. Psychology yum, the human mind... such a crazy-cool place to
dwell Philosophy great topic for 'intelligent conversation' Concerts symphonies and well-known and local bands
(+Moshing) RUSSIAN my linguistic passion
Myself: -13 years piano (8 years of lessons) -3.5 years flute
(1 year of lessons and school band) -approx. 1 year guitar
(self-taught) -Singing all my life (1 year of lessons)
Listening: I enjoy listening to all types of music. It'd take
ages to list the genres I'm interested in, let alone the artists, thus I'll
continue boycotting the list idea.
I fall in love with:
Those with the wit to intertwine sounds that should have been together since the beginning of time.
Those with the ability to paint exquisite pictures with their lyrics, who express that which I've never been able to put into satisfying words.
These guys, too:
Movies
My favorite types of movies are the twisted ones, and the ones that
make you think. Movies with passion and/or complexities...
THE PRINCESS BRIDE Death can not stop True Love. Tideland Because the squirrels made it seem less lonely. The Fountain What if you could live forever?
One of those movies seen at the perfect time, with the perfect person, thus momentarily bringing out the perfect me. And how can you argue with that? The Notebook Behind every great love is a great story. Moulin Rouge Believe in Truth, Beauty, Feedom, and above all things,
Love. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Buy the ticket, take the ride. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story. Home Room A senseless tragedy. An unlikely friendship. A search for
answers. White Oleander Where does a mother end and a daughter begin? The Fifth Element Time is not important, only life is important. A Clockwork Orange Being the adventures of a young man whose
principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven.
etcetera...
Television
Anything that truly makes me laugh or ponder...
Some of my favorites:
(I just can't seem to help myself) House L Word Gilmore Girls Red Vs Blue Charmed Adult Swim CSI, Law & Order, etc
etcetera...
Books
I love reading... Anything with a strong plot and crazy twists to it.
ORIGINALITY is key
The Runaway Bunny by
Margaret Wise Brown Interstellar Pig by William Sleator The Beyond Within;
The LSD Story by Sidney Cohen Junk (A.K.A. Smack) by
Melvin Burgess
etcetera...
I adore also the literary minds of Sylvia Plath, eNKay D. Durand -- my favorite waitress of all time, JD Glass, Dean Koontz, and one of the best of all times: Chuck Palahniuk, etc.
Heroes
Heidi (A.K.A. Merry) The best friend of the female sort.
She's the strongest and most adorable girl I've ever had the pleasure to
meet. She's been through it all with me. I've been lucky enough to share a
bond such as most can never experience. And everyone needs someone to have a
laughing fit with until you cry...
Those who inspire me, my muses if you will.
The few whom have never left my side. That takes some fucking courage!
And I most
certainly can't forget, last but not least, (and yes, I know it's cheesy,
but...):
Dennis my father He has taught me things
about life and myself that can never be lost. He has raised me to become the
person that I am today. He is the most brilliant and talented person I have
ever met. As a child, you always believe that your daddy knows everything,
that he's the strongest man in the world, and that he will always be there
to save you. He hasn't let me down yet, and I believe that he never
will.
Jyll my mother She, too, has taught me so
much about so many things. She has helped me to be confident in myself, and
to listen to my heart. She's one of the strongest people I have ever met.
She has survived and overcome so many obstacles that most people would fall
beneath in the blink of an eye. Every kid needs someone they can tell
absolutely everything to, and with her unconditional love, I've never been
afraid to tell her anything.
"The idea is to be whispering, and not to gain the attention from the flock, but to get attention from the individuals. That's why I relate to whispering. It's nothing that you can put on a big scale; you can't get sheep to attend to it. You need to have people that can stand for themselves. It is important to have a lot of space for yourself to be able to grow strong branches, which can stand in the most extreme surroundings. It reflects back to the old Norse songs and the idea of having one's own area where you are King. Personally I need nature surrounding me--like mountains, trees and rivers in order to relax, to learn and to teach. All this is very important for my inner self. I think that Christianity has made people afraid of solitude; afraid of the idea of being alone." - Gaahl, found in the book True Norwegian Black Metal
"I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or
I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a fucked up girl who is looking
for my own piece of mind. Don't assign me yours." - Clementine Kruczynski, (played by Kate Winslet), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
"My goal, is to just let it flow through me. Do you know what I mean? It's
like, there's all these emotions and ideas and they come quick and they
change and they leave and they come back in a different form and I think
we're all taught we should be consistent. Y'know? You love someone -- that's
it. Forever. You choose to do something with your life -- that's it, that's
what you do. It's a sign of maturity to stick with that and see things
through. And my feeling is that's how you die, because you stop listening to
what is true, and what is true is constantly changing. You know?" - Mary, (played by Kirsten Dunst), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Laughing is my favorite pass-time.
Raspberries are the most amazing thing this tongue has touched.
I adore mid-length black and white dresses.
I collect awesome socks, and knee-hi's are the best.
I have a long-lasting obsession with the color combination of bright blue and blaze orange.
I always enjoy a clever / meaningful quote.
Things that make me cry:
-Not having control over myself
-Losing someone
-Maggots
-Chuckie dolls
-Sad stories
-The feeling after blacking out
I am in love with art.
I am in love with wisdom.
I am in love with things that take your breath away -- they force you to
gasp and steal it back.
I am in love with my muses and strong influences, (past, present, and future). ((i.e. perfection in a Nate-shell (:P Better, darling?), Ani DiFranco, Corey, my father Dennis -- master of many things, J.D. Glass, Sammy Dungeon, Alex Grey, and oh-so-many other people and experiences...))
The mind is a scary place. I love a rush.
The strongest force in the world is passion. I will always believe
that.
When I was little, I made myself a promise: To always keep a piece of my
child-self with me. It was the most important promise I've ever made.
I still look at / do things I'm told I shouldn't, out of curiosity.
And my justification is: How else does one learn?
