Serious Chatting

[ravebloodnymph]

I'm looking for someone to talk to. I don't care age, sex, location, don't care about any of that. I'm looking for someone that I can hold a serious conversation with, whether it's about books, movies, music, anything.

I just want to make it clear that I am not looking for anything sexual or anything even remotely like a relationship. Maybe not even a friendship. I just am tired of everyday conversations and I would really like it if I could just for once, talk to someone about things that MATTER. If anyone wants to talk, hit me up.

Seriously,

Emma

Hello Emma. I'm Anna. It's nice to meet you. You left things exceedingly broad and different things matter to different people so I suppose I'll start with questions. What kind of books, movies, and music do you like? Are you going to school? Knowing who you are talking to often helps open up a conversation.

I like psychological thrillers both in books and movies. I am going back to school to study forensic psychology next month. I also enjoy fantasy novels and a lot of historical fiction. I like most movies except monster movies and slashers rarely hold my interest. I was a music major before I took some time off from school. I love to sing jazz and have decided opera is a lot of fun to sing as well but I'll sing just about anything in my range given the opportunity. I also play piano but strangely am more shy playing piano in front of people.

I hope that opens things up a bit and allows for future discussion. There are many other topics we could discuss as well.

I love romance, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, and basically anything that doesn't make sense or is magical. This is for both books and movies although I am much more of a book person than a movie person.

However, unlike you, I do like the horror movies, like monster and slasher movies. They are my favorite. ^_^ Not many people like them however. It's funny, usually I just find them vaguely exciting and occassionally funny while most people get scared to pieces.

I'm in school...high school that is. This year, I will be a sophomore. I love music as well. In fact, just today I learned how to near-perfectly play the chorus of Can You Feel The Love Tonight? on the piano. I've been playing piano for about three years but with no serious training. I've had the occassional lesson from my singing teacher and a few small tidbits of help from my father, but other than that, it was all just playing around.

I like jazz and opera as well, but I'm mostly into punk, heavy metal, and classical. Odd mix, I know.

As for another type of type, do you like to cook at all? Or bake? I love to bake.

Hi there, Emma. I don't have much time to chat around Mido these days, but I'd be happy to chat with you every now and then.

I'm Cara, but you can call me Chu if you'd like. I'm a senior in high school and my interests are primarily in languages and psychology. I'm currently studying Japanese, hoping to become a Japanese teacher in America and possibly an English teacher in Japan. I love writing, but I can't stand fluffy romance - I used to love it before I honed my rhetoric skills though. Now, I'm mostly interested in the psychological and emotional aspects of writing; I like evoking strange thoughts and feelings out of my readers. The most rewarding response to my writing would probably be silence because it tells me that they're really thinking about what they just read.

I have a strange philosophy on life and progressiveness (they're one in the same to me) and currently have no religion. I'm not very interested in music, though I do enjoy classical, opera, alternative, and techno from time to time. I guess you could say I'm an abstract person. I actually tend to be pretty boring when I'm not busy though. ^^;

Hello, there, Cara/Chu.

Oh, I love Japanese. I find it can be a wonderful beautiful language. I'm sure you'll make a great teacher.

I usually only read romance novels, and I'm going to be a bit crude, mostly just for the sex. You know, those kind of romance novels that most people call smut. I don't believe in love.

I love your views on writing. At least, on the reader's opinion on your writing. I never thought about that, that silence could be a good thing. It's an interesting and, I now see, true concept.

I am not very religious, but the religion I do have is that I believe in the Greek gods and goddesses. It's not that I think the stories are realistic, however. It's that the Greek gods and goddesses are just SO much more interesting to me than the Christian/Catholic God.

Music is basically my life. Look at your right arm. Can you picture your body without it? That's what music is to me. It is a part of me as much as my right arm. Or my left, for that matter.

I'm sure you are very interesting. I enjoy speaking with you very much.

Seriously,

Emma Picket

Nonsensical and magical is fun. Books are wonderful things! I used to wake up in the morning and start reading...in the summer my mom would have to come to my room and remind me to eat breakfast. :-P

I watched Event Horizon with a bunch of people once and the guy next to me was really disappointed that I didn't shriek and cling to him like the other girls were doing...most horror movies bore me. The ones I do like are the ones that make me think or make me laugh generally. There are some really good ones.

That's cool that you're self-taught. My grandfather could pick up nearly any instrument and figure out how to play it fairly decently. I think it's awesome that you love music that much. I feel like music helps me express things that I can't any other way...like it comes from a place in my soul that only knows how to express itself through music. It's just a part of me that is deep inside and cannot always be seen outwardly.

I like some punk. I'll listen to pretty much anything honestly I just don't like every song in any genre. I have rather eclectic tastes as well, it's good to like variety I think.

I've rather taken to cooking Thai food lately. I like cooking and baking mostly to see the reactions of people who eat it. I love when people really like what I make but cooking for myself is a pain. :-P I make a darn good chocolate ice-cream cake. Chocolate cake, ice-cream, chocolate cake, and then chocolate rum frosting with a cream cheese base...it's fabulous. Thai bbq with sticky rice, Thai ice tea, and coconut rice with mango for dessert? Awesome! Cooking is a lot of fun when it's to see the smiles on peoples faces and the mmm's and whatnot...gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. =^.^=

Since summer is wrapping up, what are your favorite summer activities?

Hello psychological Chu of the abstractness!

[Chu]

I honestly wish that I adored something enough to consider it crucial to my life. XD That's the main reason that I say I'm boring - I mainly live to help others and to share my thoughts. Most people have something or another interesting going for them; I'm a supporting role, if you will. It's fun though. ^^ I like working from the background and simply observing the results of my actions, knowing that no one knows the person behind them. Kinda weird to say now that I think about it though...

Aah, baking is fun. My mom won't let me experiment with anything though, so I have to have a really good excuse to make something interesting. XD


@Ailyn: Haha, hello! Interesting nickname you gave me.
