burningofroissy this time around.
1. Oz [of course]
I'm not entirely sure why this particular fantasy series has stuck with me more than any other, but I think a lot of is the combination of surrealism and believability, with a heavy dose of humor thrown in as well. Also, there's a very friendly feeling to them. There was a Futurama episode where Fry says of Star Trek, "But most importantly, when I had no friends, it made me feel like maybe I did." Oz was much the same way for me, especially in my adolescent years.
2. Mythology
Well, I just discussed mythology the last time I did this, so I'll look at it from a different angle. I guess my interest in classical mythology arose when I was in elementary school, and I started reading all the books on the subject that I could. It was mostly Greco-Roman stuff at first, but I later read a bit of Norse mythology for a school project, and found that it was even MORE messed up.
3. Informative posts
Well, my main goal is to entertain, but I like to think you can sometimes learn things from my posts as well. {g} Seriously, I guess it comes out of my general fondness for research. Writing entries expounding on various subjects is sort of like writing research papers without the boring parts.
4. TMBG
My favorite band for over ten years now, I got into them in college, and have been a fan ever since. Their songs have a kind of weirdness that I can identify with to a certain extent, not to mention really catchy melodies.
5. Video games
As I've said before, the role-playing genre is my favorite, but I quite enjoy others as well. I'm just not very good at them. As with books, I like it when the characters and setting have lives of their own, so to speak.
