I got this from [info]erl_queen

How it works: Just comment on this post saying you'd like to play. Then I will choose seven interests from your profile, and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post these instructions along with your answers in your own LiveJournal so that others can play along, too. Here are the ones she gave me.
1. age gap relationships
I find older men sexy. I don't just mean a few years older, though I started off with only a tiny difference. My first sex partner was only a few yers older than I. I was 19 and he was 21. We were friends and virgins and curious. Then, there was Nick, with whom I had a one-year online relationship. He fucked me over by not coming to America and then dismissing me like I was nothing after my family did everything for him, (though we're acquaintances now) and I moved on. He was in his 20's. I usually don't count the two men I spoke with for awhile, fucked once and then never saw again/20's and 30's respectively, though there are no hard feelings. By this time, I'd had it with the 20's. My next real fwb (friend with benefits) was 34 and I was 21 and truly loved him, though he never loved me as more than a friend. (it's Chris, for you long-time readers, and yes, we're still friends). Then, there was John, who was 41 and I was 21 (I was in open relationships) but we were and still are just friends. And now, there's my 62-year-old miracle, Spiros, whom I adore and who's also my very first real boyfriend. But I still love older men, though I'd never stray from mine.

2. antidieting
I have always been thin. I even went through a stupid stage where I didn't want to eat, not because of weight gain, just because I didn't like food. I've changed alot since then, of course, and now enjoy many different kinds of food. But the one thing I hate is all the fucking weight loss commercials. Everywhere you go, you're bombarded with low-fat this, reduced-fat that, plus exercise and pills. You go to the store and can barely find anything normal. And to further annoy me, I'm an organic and free range fanatic. I'm not a vegan and I'm not into low-fat (see above), but every time I go online to get organic stuff, I see low-fat and fat-free shit! Am I the only one who simply doesn't want chemicals in her food and doesn't want the animals to be treated cruely or given hormones for extra meat or milk? Don't change the formula! Just change the extra crap! I'm also, as the interest says, very much against dieting, unles it's medical or done for another noncosmetic reason. Why can't people just love who they are inside or except who they are outside. And if they have to diet, why can't they do it for themselves, not to look like some stupid supermodel! Don't eat in humongous portaions but don't starve yourself either. Anyway, I made a community for those who love food to just chat and get together. Please read the info before deciding to join, but I'd love to get this one restarted, since it's kind of dead.

3. dildos
*smile* Good thinking, to put that one there after the last one. I love dildos because I love the penis. To me, the penis is the most beautiful thing in the world, especially when it's uncircumsized (uncut). I can't explain why, just something about the way it moves, grows, shrinks. then there's cum! Mmm. Uh, where was I? Oh right. My mother first told me about dildos and what they were and then I went from there. Being the academic sex nut that I am, I had to go all over the net, eventually finding about the best materials (I love silicone cause it's easy to clean, feels real and lasts long), and the best stores (blowfish.com is my favourite). I even had fun learning about all the different shapes. Needless to say, I love realistics. When I was single, I bought several, though I rarely used them. I just loved having them, especially The Boitoy, which is really realistic, but small enough to not drive me insane with pain. (No people, I don't like pain if I can help it.) Even now that I've got a man, I still like to learn about all the new stuff that's out and he doesn't mind at all. The only bad thing about a dildo is that it doesn't have foreskin and it doesn't shrink, so you kind of lose the realness of a penis. Remember, I like them in all their states, so long as they're clean and healthy. And to expand on that, pardon the pun, I think that young girls (teenagers) should be taught about masturbation and dildos so that they're not so eager to have sex and so that they can please themselves as well. This shame has got to stop. Mind you, I also think they should be taught about safe sex, but that's another rant for another time.

4. fringe sciences
Ever since I was a child, I've always been fascinated by fringe sciences like astrology, palmistry, and especially parapsychology (ghosts, aliens, missing time etc) as well as strange things like crop circles and the supernatural in general. As most of you know, I feel that I have a deep connection with the spiritual world. I can sense when spirits are present, and if I knew them in life and they were associated with a particular scent, However, that's really only happened with one person so far. I can also recognise them that way. Whenever a spirit is near, I feel cold, usually on my shoulders and sometimes on my back and it's not an Earthly/regular cold either. It's very strange. HoweverAs for fringe sciences, I learned more about them in college and now wish to learn more. I truly wish that more people would take them seriously. I've devoted a community to this, but nothing ever came of it. Still, if anyone wants to take a look and join, I'd be really happy. Any fringe science, strange phenomenon or nonmainstream theory is welcomed, so long as it's on topic. Starting a discussion or two wouldn't be a bad idea either. Just please read the user info before joining.

5. greek men
This kind of ties in with my love of older men, since the rebetes turn me on, and it obviously is very much related to my love of everything Greek. Greek men make the best lovers and the best teachers. There's nothing like a Greek accent to get my rocket fired up, especially when it comes from a hard smoker's voice. My boyfriend doesn't have one naturally, since he's not a smoker, but he's got the accent, since he comes straight from Greece, and he can do a great immitation of that voice. Still, even the Hellenic language with a soft voice is pleasing to the ear, for my more relaxed moods. Then, of course, there's the fact that I could share my patriotism, my love of Greek food, culture, music, history, sports teams, politics and whatever other Hellenic thing I think of at the moment. I've even shared information with Spiros about my eligion, and though he's not a religious man, he's ok with it and says amen after my prayers to Hestia, even says things about how I come from the gods etc, which I find very touching. But I also like the idea that I'm not the only Greek in the room, for once. Oh yeah, and most Greek men are uncut.

6. naturopathy
I've always been into natural things, to one degree or another. But in the past few years, I've really come to distrust mainstream doctors more than the rest of my family, which is saying alot. I can't explain why. Maybe, it's cause I learned about herbal and all natural medicines and how they're so much better than the fake stuff. Maybe, it's cause I believe that most doctors are just in it for the money, that they don't care about the patience. Ok, let me rephraise that. Many doctors, since it's mostly the damned pharmaseudical companies that couldn't give a shit. Let's face it. Cancer, AIDES, diabetes etc all bring in huge amounts of money. it's a multibillion! dollar business. So why cure these people when you could line your pockets. I'm not saying that there aren't naturopathic quacks out there, or con artists handing out snake oil and such, but I just trust a real ND more than an MD. Plus, all the side effects. If you take this drug, you could die, or take it for sniffling and get nose bleeds, coughing, sore throats etc. While I certainly believe that people shouldn't play with herbs on their own, unless they know what they're doing, and while they should be respected, they're still safer than the crap most doctors pump into people. That very fact annoys me. They treat the psymptoms and not the cause of the illness. naturopathy is much more wholistic and I like their ideas. Oh, and let's not forget the Orthoevera Fiasco. Now, I still respect my gynachologist, and I will make an exception going on low-dose progestin-only birth control pills, but they should have never released that fucking patch! It has 60% more estrogin than the regular pill and um, can we say mood swings, and then missed periods after going off it? Thank the gods for the guy at Roots who gave me these all-natural detox pills.

7. the paranormal
This relates back to the one on fringe sciences, but I'll focus on parapsychology now. I've always been fascinated by haunted houses, aliens, missing time, Area 51 and such. I remember watching Unsolved Mysteries as a child and waiting for a strange story. I loved another show called The Unexplained as well. Then, of course, I got into scifi, and though it wasn't exactly paranormal, some was exciting. But I actually had my own experience once that no one can explain. , I actually don't remember it cause I was so young, but I've heard it enough to know the details. When I was a baby, I had nine opperations to try to restore my sight. During one of those, we got stranded in Boston. This is before Mom and Joanie were together btw. So Mom called her friend Marion who had a pilot licence, but she couldn't help. Now here I was, , full of shit from the anaesthesia and Mom needed to get diapers. She had money, but all the stores were closed. Anyway, , this guy came up to her and said look, you can come on our plane. The plane was very ordinary, but everyone on it seemed to be a businessperson. They all had briefcases and such. somehow, we made it from Boston to New Jersey in 45 minutes. The next day, Mom called the airport to thank the people for taking us and they said to her "mam, I don't know what you're talking about. No other planes left this airport last night, business or otherwise because of the storm." Mom still has the ticket btw, they never took it. Just telling this gives me chills. We were never able to figure it out, but that was my first experience with the paranormal. Mom and I both think it was the gods watching over us. I love Hermes.

Ok, here's your meme. There were alot of things on your interest page that I've never heard of, though at least one or two I could guess at.

3. caroline myss
4. corpgoth
5. corpus colossum agenesis
6. klaus meine
7. lacrimosa

Here are the others, just for the sake of it. You could ignore this part altogether if you'd like, just figured I'd put them up here. If anything, what are they?
edguy
flylady
foobar2000
helium vola
nordrhein-westfalen
nrw
michael kiske

This last one I was hesitant to bring up, because it seems to trouble you, but you've mentioned it in the past. hansi kürsch Oh, and you like the silmarillion! Is that the one by J.R.R. Tolkien? I've been meaning to read that. I laughed when I saw tracy chapman. We had a friend who loved her. She died in 1994, so we remember her whenever Chapman comes on.

Oh, and btw, I really wanted to take that cool all-in-one test that's on your profile, but apparently, the site isn't up or the page disappeared. I love quizzes, tests and memes!

The main 7 I'll answer in the meme style but the rest I'll answer in the comment section here.

Edguy: Kickass German Power Metal band.
Tobias Sammet: The hot singer of Edguy.

FlyLady: A website and mailing list and stuff that helps people organize their homes and their lives by processes of small steps. They sell a lot of products but don't demand you buy them. http://flylady.net/

foobar2000: Another music player like Media Player or Winamp but closer to Winamp and it's free and accessible. http://www.foobar2000.org/

Helium Vola: Very interesting band made up of two operatic singers named Ernst Horn and Sabine Lutzenberger. They have a lot of synthesized elements in their music and are popular among the artsy goth scene. They sing in ancient German, Italian, French, and probably some other languages I'm forgetting.

Nordrhein-Westfalen/NRW: The best state in Germany where all the awesome bands and people come from and I've got a lot of friends there too!

Michael Kiske: Lead singer of the Power Metal band Helloween for a time. If you check out the albums Keeper of the Seven Keys 1 & 2 you'll hear him.

Orange Tabby: The tiger striped looking orange cats like Blaise who now has a new mommy.

Quenya: One of J.R.R. Tolkien's dialects of Elvish. There are others like Sindarin and I believe the different races of Elves had their own language like Noldorin and Telerin. Sindarin is the most commonly spoken but Quenya is the royal tongue.

RuneScape: A free online multiplayer fantasy roleplaying game but it's all mouse-driven, so unfortunately no blindies can play it, but it has cute 3D effects and sound effects and catchy MIDI files for music.

Scorpions: The group that sings "Rock You Like A Hurricane" and "No One Like You" and they happen to be hot and German!

The Brat Factor: A branch-off site from FlyLady or at least good friends, not sure how to describe the tie-in. It helps you get organized on the premise that there is an inner child inside of you who is just plain bratty and doesn't want to clean and always wants to play and by working with that inner brat, you tame it and find yourself better organized.

Tortoiseshell: A type of cat because the pattern of their fur which could be brown, black, orange, gray, or white in places, looks like the shell of a tortoise. Sienna is one and she has the same new mommy as Blaise does. I also like the tortoiseshell pattern on frames of eyeglasses. I had a pair once before the prescription didn't work anymore.

Vertical Horizon: A band that got famous among the softer alt rock scene in 1999 for that song "Everything You Want" and also "You're A God" but their better material comes from the albums Running On Ice and There And Back Again. They do a lot of acoustic folkish stuff and are good for lifting my spirits on crappy days.

Wolfsheim: German synthpop band who sound terrible singing in English although they have English hit songs. My favorite song and a big hit for them is called "Kein Zurück" which means "No Way Back"

Yes, the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien, love that book!

And last but not least, Hansi Kürsch: He's the lead singer of Blind Guardian and Demons & Wizards. I got into Blind Guardian through a German net friend who I had a crush on but had never validated my feelings even though he did nice things for me as a friend like put up a Lars Ulrich website when I was in my Metallica phase. I won three Blind Guardian singles off of his trivia contest and fell in love with the band because it was metal that sang about magic and fantasy and had one hell of a big choir sound, a la Queen one of their biggest inspirations. When Chris wouldn't stop ignoring my feelings, all the lust I had for him turned over to Hansi when I discovered more about him. This sparked a five-year-running obsession which only since this past August has been cured. That's why you saw so many troubled entries about Hansi and my obsession and whatnot.
