6degreesoflea. I think by now my Fl probably knows more about me than my parents do with all list random facts meme! I'll try to find something new though ;)
a. list seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself
b. tag seven people to do the same
c. do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it"
1. I wear a D34 cup and I hate that. Whenever I hear some friend of mine complaining that she'd want surgery to have bigger breasts (and I have heard it more than once) I feel like smacking them. It's a boredom and a pain most of the time and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
2. Dubbing makes me sick. Especially because here they dub everything and I'm lucky to live in a city where there is one cinema showing movies in original language, but I really hate that. I think it ruins the acting and I can't see how subtitles can be confusing. I never had a problem watching a subtitled movie and I think it just requires a bit of an effort that is gone after you watched three movies.
3. The craziest thing regarding point 2 I ever did was going, when I was in Paris, to a Kurosawa movie which was in Japanese with French subtitles and my French was even worse than it is now. And even if I didn't understand half of what they said (and of course I don't know a word of Japanese) I enjoyed the movie immensely and had no problem getting what was going on. Talk about masters.
4. My musical tastes are at the same time quite widespread and absolutely closed. In the sense, I'll listen to a lot of genres and artists, but I don't like to go out of the box with completely different genres. I mean, I listen to rock, blues, some jazz, classical, opera and I can like pop music if it's good/old/without too many pretenses, but for anything which isn't that, I can't listen to it. Dance and pop music made by seventeen year old girls especially. Let's say that if there's some electronic instrument in it and it's not played by people in flesh and bones I won't like it.
5. I never smoked a cigarette in my whole life.
6. I don't like alcoholic beverages. It's not like I've got something against them, I just don't like them. I usually can get one small beer if I'm so inclined but I can do without. I don't like wine and I got drunk just one time because I mistook vodka for water. Yes, I'm THAT uninteresting. I don't even get drunk on Saturday night ;)
7. I can't cook. I totally fail at it and the thing is that whenever I want to try it with friends they always stop me before I can even get started and I have to say that sometimes the lack of trust kinda hurts me ;) not like I'm ever interested in learning but when I cook for myself I usually want to throw up. I don't know why but it's one of the few things that can make me kind of depressed.
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening.
1 You're Still Standing There by Steve Earle -> gah. I love it. I just love it.
2 Devil's Arcade by Bruce Springsteen -> because Bruce > everyone.
3 Postcards From the Wasteland by Bon Jovi -> it's a demo but I'd smack them. It's better than half of what was on the record it didn't make to. And I love the lyrics.
4 Dies Irae from Mozart's Requiem -> It's actually a movement from the Requiem but erm, yeah, I'm obsessed with it. Don't ask me why. It's just so good.
5 Home is Anywhere You Hang Your Head by Elvis Costello -> gah. I love it. I just love it. And I love the title.
6 Don't Look Back in Anger by Oasis -> well, I'm not that great Oasis fan but thing is, I don't like Liam and I ♥ Noel. He sings better and he writes better so I still don't get why he doesn't go solo. Anyway, I was hoping to use this as fic inspiration but isn't working, though it remained stuck in my head.
7 Sparkle and Shine by Steve Earle -> I should probably upload the whole album where this is because it's just so good. And this song makes me melt.
Whoever wants to do it, do it! ;)
In other words, military is confuuusing. I've been spending half an hour on military rankings and my head hurts. Researching for fic hurts. Kind of. But if things go as I plan it'll so be worth that. But military is confusing nonetheless. Why do they need three different kinds of privates? *shrugs*
And in other news yesterday I finally bought the DVDs for Lost Season 3. They were out here this month, figure it out. We're always so late *sighs*. And then I also bought Slam by Nick Hornby and will gladly interrupt everything I had going on to read it because Nick Hornby owns my soul, hell yes.

Date: 2008-05-08 05:17 pm (UTC)amen sister! XD
*highfives*
I will do this one tonight I think... although, like almost all of them will be Tom Waits cause I'm in that kind of mood.
and to comment on the first meme:
1. I so not envy you. Just wanna say that. I am sooooo happy to have small boobs. to be honest, I wouldn't mind even smaller ones if I was more skinny. Unexisting boobs on the body I have now would look weird though. Too big hips and bum you know. Gotta even it out a little bit XD (oh and yeah, I'm an A)
2. Sheesh, you already know my thought of dubbing. I feel your pain. I feel totally blessed living in Sweden o.o
4. Let's say that if there's some electronic instrument in it and it's not played by people in flesh and bones I won't like it.
so, what do you say about Muffinman's Missing? That's not someone fleshy playing the drums!
5. Neither have I. Here's to never doing it! *high fives*
6. Ewww, alcohol tastes icky. The only alcoholic beverage thing I like is Malibu. Why? It doesn't taste of alcohol but of coconuts XD And I loooove coconuts. Oh and 2,5%o Swedish cider. It's so little alcohol and it just tastes like... less sweet than other fizzy beverages.
7. You should try some really simple things with supervision and a halping hand ^^ How are you at baking btw?

oooh come ti capisco con il problema delle tette... a volte sono davvero fastidiose!
Neanch'io ho mai fumato una sigaretta (intera) anche se ammetto di avere provato più volte (*cough* e non solo quelle *cough*)
oh, and thank you so much for the songs, I loved the one by Steve Earle you posted last week so I'm taking this new one as well, and the one by Costello too. Oh, and Bon Jovi, of course! I can never miss him. ;)

Date: 2008-05-08 11:59 pm (UTC)2. Dubbing is bad. I usually forget about the subtitles within the first few minutes.
3. No, you are the master.
4. I wish I was diverse. I would say my taste is as broad but I so rarely update it. I'm with you on the pop music. It's the devil!
5. Me too. I think it came from having parents who smoked and hating the smell.
6. I've learned to like cocktails that disguise the taste of alcohol and certain white wines. I hate beer and most hard alcohol.
7. But you are an excellent meal planner! Remember all those great dinners you planned for the Lost men?
