Being tagged.

Fri Oct 2, 2009, 5:28 AM
I've been tagged by :iconelenatria:

The rules are:

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 10 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs.

1. When I finish university, I will have a diploma for teaching, but I don't want to do that. I'm trying to keep this down, but I'm sort of afraid of children.
2. My deepest wish on Earth is to move to Scotland some day, live in a house that looks to Loch Lomond, write novels and watch the rain fall.
3. I'm addicted to tea and coffee.
4. My favorite book is Nabokov's Lolita though some people think me a sick bitch for this. I still love it, and I'll write my university thesis about Lolita.
5.I love to go to the theatre, I love to watch ballet and opera, and daydream about the cute dancers and singers afterwards.
6. I have a duck, whom I cannot sleep without anywhere, so I take her with me all the time if I travel. (She's made of plush.)
7. My favorite artist is Emilie Autumn. Artist, because she's not only a singer but a writer, and a very creative person who does all kinds of most inspiring stuff. She's like a godess to me, her message helps me survive.
8. I love nature. Our world is such a beautiful place, and I try never to let it's beauty pass my way unnoticed.
9. I adore the Bridget Jones novels, that woman is so much like me, it's sometimes creepy. (Not the movie though, I think, it ruins the original novel version.)
10. The thing I can't forgive to any human being is cruelty. I hate people who are merciless.

Why are you afraid of children? I know that many many people can't handle them..
Move to Scotland?? Awwwwwww!! So you like the rain a lot? I like the sunshine myself but I do like green fields and mountains!
Omg I LOVE Lolita... I looooooooove it.. Beautifully written, it's addictive. And do you know why it's "sick"? Because everyone thinks that omg Lolita was that slutty bitch who seduced the guy but wtffff?? She was a KID and he took advantage of her! Nymphette my a$$!

huhm... I'm gonna be quite frank, even though most of the people I tell this try to murder me... but... i love Humbert! so this might be a thing we won't really agree on... but yes, Lolita is an addictive book, I adore it. Have you read Ada? I'm on it right now, it's most utterly awesome!!
Aww, yeah, I do love rain. ^^ Dunno why... but Hungary is a pretty dry country, with only a few mountains, so it's so much the opposite of Scotland. so maybe this is the key. I feel a bit bad about it though... I'm not good enough for my homeland i suppose.
maybe my problem with kids is that I'm simply afraid of standing infront of other people talking. I always feel tiny and ugly and... well, generally a loser. so it's not exactly them, it's more like me. I don't want to teach because even the thought of the classroom makes me wanna throw up. sooo scared...

Well look, I don't *hate* the guy (BESIDES who didn't loooove Jeremy Irons or even James Mason! C'mon!). It's just that I see too many men (journalists mostly) drooling over Lolita and "accusing" her of seducing him etc.. whereas she was just a kid, c'mon, she did whatever her instinct told her to.
Ada Ada... I read a synopsis once, is it about a girl and a boy.. making out in a closet or something? 'Cause that's all I remember from it.. And oh, since you're into Nabokov, you MUST have read Lolita's predecessor, it's a novella of 90 pages called "the Enchanter"and it's exactly what Lolita is about, only shorter and with another tragic end.
Omg I forgot you're from Hungary! I'm reading a book about Sissi right now (ETERNAL love :love: ) and she soooooooo loved Hungary..(I already told you that though, right?..)
Weeell, you're not the only one.. There was a time when I TOTALLY hated the hot summers of Greece, and taking vacations in islands and the seaside. I don't.. hate hot weather anymore, I prefer the sunshine to the rain, but yeah, I still don't like the islands. So does that make me a "bad Greek"? Oh well..
You have a very cute face. Too bad that both your glasses AND mine make our eyes look smaller than they are. :( I hate that but what can I do, I can't stand contact lenses.. Other than that.. yeah, I feel you, it's not easy having to face the crowd. Not easy at all.
:iconennasilme:
Gosh, forgive me for not answering all this time!! I'm a total ass. :XD: It's just i didn't really had the time. So sorry!

Yay, I'm glad, you don't hate HH. :) Sorry for being so overprotective about him! It's just, I've had endless arguments about the whole Lolita-matter with so many people, and most of them were a bit obsessive, going like "That jerk abused, raped the pure little lily and never even loved her, it was all about lust" - which isn't the exact truth.
However. I am not against Lolita either. I could say, I understand her (or is that a too bold thing to say? I'll probably never understand her pain, since I had a golden childhood and youth, never had to deal with problems like her... well, until the age of 17 at least...) People who say she was a whore are wrong. And after all a spoiled child is the creation of bad parents. I don't want to blame Charlotte for Lolita's entire character, but, come on, she wasn't the most assiduous parent on the world... (hope i'm using that word well :D)
btw, I'm so ashamed, I never read "the Enchanter". Well, not yet. (I'm totally going to.) But I read "Laughter in the Dark" which is still a prototipe of Lolita, but more grotesque and shocking in a different way.
Ada btw is a story about a brother and a sister who fall in love with each other. So it's pretty scandalous too. :) Nabokov did like to write about weird love stories. That's why I love him. :) I like things which are... more or less sickened or/and uncommon. I am trying to write about situations like these myself. :) (After all... I'm not into Dom Claude for nothing... :D he and HH could share some stuff...)
