December 30 - Ask me Anything?

[elanya]

No really - anything you ask me in the next 24-ish hours, on this post, I will give you some kind of reply. I may screen comments if it should somehow go strange in unexpected ways, but I am not sure I need worry (mostly as...who even reads this? Especially without prompting.) Let's find out! Anon commenting is on, I believe.

I see you like pirates. What's your opinion on ninjas? :-D

[elanya]

Ninjas a re pretty cool, I guess. I like the concept of them as socially invisible (servants and the like) rather than black-clad skulking figures. However I also am fond of them on the basis that the 'black clad skulking figure' aspect of them developed out of a tradition of using theatre techs as extras in big bad guy fight scenes.

You know ninjas are real because you never see them.

Nod. Also, hee.

Uh, this was probably better suited to a day-long topic and is vague besides, but: say something about your taste in music! Early influences; what's likely to catch your attention now; things you keep returning to.

[elanya]

My early influence is mostly Stuff My Mom Listened to, so, folk and Leonard Cohen? I think I answered something on those lines earlier this month over here!

But as for more recent stuff - in the past few years I have discovered a love for a lot of non-English European folk/pagan music, which I poke at with great fascination and, if I am being honest, a slight concern that I am going to accidentally stumble into something that i do't realizes is terribly racist because I don't know the language >.> It started when someone sent me the Moon and the Night Spirit, but I have discovered others since things.... like these! (I just put it in a post since the embeds were borked >.>)

Waaaah it ate all my embeds ;_;
