LJ Interests meme results

1. burnt norton:
   Little Gidding is my favourite Quartet, but any port in a storm. Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind / Cannot bear very much reality.
   
2. chopin:
   If I was ever to enter into a Faustian bargain, it would be in order to become a virtuoso piano player. Sadly the Devil has never troubled to drop by the house.
3. doomed love:
   I invented this an interest for my Blake's 7 fanfic journal deadship, specifically for Avon and Anna, and then it turned out to be a lonely interest (obviously everyone else is at the happy party where the happy lovers hang out), so I added it on this journal too.
4. fabulous skies:
   I like fabulous skies, be they sunsets or just the vast bright blue that frequently swallows up this city. "People Do Bad Things Under Fabulous Skies" stands as a working title for any novel I have in progress.
5. gadamer:
   Unfashionable hermeneutic philosopher, a bad reading of whose big book Truth and Method bulks out the second chapter of my Ph.D. thesis
6. infj:
   "Pshaw!" said altariel1, on first being presented with the idea of Myers-Briggs, "I eschew psychometrics! But in the interests of not coming to snap judgements based on little in the way of detailed knowledge, I shall take the test and read the summary for my own type... oh bugger, it nails me, particularly the bit about making snap judgements based on little in the way of detailed knowledge."
7. new zealand:
   I have had two excellent holidays in New Zealand, one in the North Island, one in the South, where I was much taken by the fabulous skies, the hospitality of just about everyone, and the very few people.
8. saffic:
   The only slash I have written in femslash, only I like the word "saffic" more, because it is a clever coinage, and does not rely on sticking a suffix in front of slash.
9. t s eliot:
   More of an addiction than an interest.
10. tove jansson:
    See icon. Amongst other achievements, the creator of the Moomins. Oh look at this great story I just found on Wikipedia: "Jansson has said that she had designed the Moomins in her youth: when she lost a philosophical quarrel about Immanuel Kant with her brother, she drew "the ugliest creature imaginable" on the wall of their WC and wrote under it "Kant"." Gadamer didn't like Kant much either, but took longer to say it.

I love the story about Tove Jansson. And do come and see our fabulous skies again (currently a high, cold blue with with clouds, some pregnant with rain: sunshowers on the way).

I would love to come and see the fabulous skies again, and the long white cloud.
