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 others can play along.
1. electric light orchestra: Electric Light Orchestra is a band from the 70s and 80s that I really love. They're technically classic rock, but some people have classified them as classic pop, and I can see where that comes from. I love their music- it reminds me of sunny days in the summer and happy things.
2. greek mythology: I am a Greek mythology nut. In undergrad, I was an art history major with a concentration in classical studies, and my love for Greek mythology comes from my love of Greek sculpture and vase painting. My favorite Greek goddess is Athena (we have a statue of her Roman incarnation, Minerva, on my college's campus), and I love The Odyssey (and to a lesser extent, the Iliad).
3. the black jewels series: The Black Jewels series is a series of books done by my absolute most favorite author, Anne Bishop. It takes everything you were told about Hell, Satan, demons, and the underworld, and throws it out the window. The story revolves around the High Lord of Hell, Saetan SaDiablo, his two sons Daemon and Lucivar, and his adopted daughter Jaenelle. It's an amazing fantasy series that spans seven books (I'm currently on book two, in my umpteenth re-read of the series), and I urge anyone who likes darker fantasy stories to give it a try.
4. clive barker: I love Clive Barker. His stories keep me up all night, reading. I haven't watched any movies he's done, or read much of his works besides the more fantasy-ish ones, but I love him. He's an amazing artist, too, and I love the illustrations he did for the Abarat books. (I wonder if he's written any more for that series.)
5. rush: One of my favorite classic rock bands. I got to see them live in concert back in 2002, and oh it was wonderful. Even if we were stuck up in the balcony behind six rows of box seats. It was one of the last concerts I got to see with my best friend Justin's father, before he passed away a few years ago, and one of many concerts that Justin and I saw while we were still close. (I have an interesting relationship with Justin, but that's another story for another day.)
6. phoenix wright: Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney. Oh man, he is awesome, even if he is a goofball. Phoenix Wright is one of the main characters in the Ace Attorney series for the Nintendo DS. These games get you thinking, and it's lots of fun trying to prove that the bad guy is really the good guy. I think my love for Phoenix Wright comes from my love of crime dramas.
7. sera myu: Sailor Moon musicals. I think that's all I need to say on that. XD
(or maybe not- for those who don't know, Sailor Moon is a once popular anime series that was huge in Japan, and sorta popular here. Japan's love for Sailor Moon was so insane that they started doing musicals in 1993, after the first season of the show was done. The musicals ran longer than the show did- the anime ran for 5 years, while the musicals ran for 11.)
