222- A meme!
Jul. 17th, 2008 08:06 pmThis is a meme I stole from [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]!
Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile. You will then explain what they mean/why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.
Final Fantasy VIII: This game was the first FF game I've ever played, and it's also been the only one I've completed. I love everything about it: the music, the characters and their relationships with each other, the the storyline of the game... there was a lot of stuff in this game that I could relate to, and when I finished it the first time I ended up walking away with hope about some things in my own life. xD It's also probably been the only game that I've ever stayed up for nine or 10 hours to play.
Musicals: Ahhh, musicals. I love musicals. I've always loved watching them when I was growing up, from the Disney animated ones to things like Moulin Rouge. They always made me feel happy when I watched them, and of course I loved singing along to the music whenever I had a chance to learn the lyrics. I own the soundtracks to several musicals like West Side Story, and I tend to jump at the chance to go see one performed live (like at the Carousel or the Lincoln Center). I really enjoy how so much in these stories can be said with music and lyrics.
Red vs. Blue: I first saw this series at Mike's apartment here in Fort Collins, when I was picking up Shannon for something. They made me watch the "Internet vs. Real Life" PSA, and it was cracking me up so much. It's really the only show that I kept up with via the web, and it never failed to make me laugh or make me feel happy.
Resident Evil: The second gaming franchise I got obsessed with! xD Let's see... I first began playing Resident Evil almost three years ago, during Christmas Break. I bought the first game for the PS1 on a whim when I ended up going to a pawn shop for whatever reason. It confused me, since at the time I was incredibly frightened of 'horror' things, except for paranormal stuff. But over the break I finished the game and loved it, despite the real horror of circa 1996 graphics. xD And so, my second obsession was born; this and Final Fantasy are really the only games that I own. I have very few games outside of these two series. There is just something so therapeutic about coming home and shooting some zombies after a bad day. Oh! And RE also helped me get over my fear of the horror genre; it was a surprising but welcome side-effect.
Writing: I've always been told that I have a talent for writing (although I'm not quite sure if that's the case now). But when I was younger, I wrote a lot. Whether in a diary or in a story, it helped me cope with the stress of the day-to-day stuff, and really opened up my imagination. One of my favorite classes I took in junior high was creative writing. I love writing fanfic (even though I haven't really written anything for a while), and stuff like writing essays and making it sound good for school always came easy to me.
Traveling: I know that I never really mention anything, but I do love to travel. I definitely have a list of places I want to go before I die or settle down, and I really want to get the money to make that happen. Other cultures really fascinate me, and I think it would be so much fun to experience it firsthand, rather than just read about it in an Anthro book or whatver.
Astrology: Yes, I will admit it. xD I love astrology! It's not something I believe in, per se, but it's pretty cool to be able to read something and go 'Yeah, that's totally like me.' I've definitely been out of practice, as I haven't had time to really continue learning about it or applying my knowledge. But I used to be able to interpret a person's chart pretty well and understand what it means.

There! I feel so much better after getting that posted.
I still haven't heard back on my Nemu application. >: I hope the mod gets around to that soon! I'm excited to have the possibility of playing her.
And now, I think I'm going to go on a bike ride. Possibly a long one. I think I may go down to 7-11 and get a Slurpee, or even go to the Dairy Queen on College and get some ice cream.
