I see! I guess if I didn't have the computer I'd be walking around interesting places more and sitting on my bum a little less. I'm too lazy to go post this in my journal so I'll just go on about it here :0
-60s/70s music I think this was one of the first LJ interests I put here but I don't think it's that serious - I just happen to really like what I hear of it but I don't actively seek it out. I just like the more melodious sound of them, and the worn-out feeling you get off old vinyl/tape recordings.
-alternative anime I like watching anime that hasn't been widely recognized yet, and especially those which don't necessarily fit into the regular conventions of anime. I guess this would mean anything that hardly seems to get publicised and yet continues doing a good job in the shadows. Studio 4C shows would be an example! But again I don't necessarily actively look out for these...
-environmentalism I like to think of myself as at least somewhat concerned about the environment I guess. I'm always in favour of keeping natural environments rather than further economic expansion and although I use the computer quite a bit other than that I don't use much electricity when I can help it (almost never use the air-con at home), reuse a fair amount of stuff at home and recycle whatever can be recycled... though I don't think I'm really a Good Environmentalist yet. >_> I think having visited Sri Lanka many times has made me much more accepting of and used to the idea of living simply. (random)If I ever make my own animation/film, I hope to release it primarily through the internet and not physical media sales :0 less plastic, perhaps.(/random)
-karisuma That's the nickname people give Toshiyuki Inoue, who's one of the key animators in Dennou Coil and an amazing animator himself (really a legend). I do really like people who maintain charisma at work and can inspire others without having to be super vocal, too.
-katsu kaishu I kind of read up about him last year and think the way he handled the whole Boshin War thing was really amazing. *_* I really respect how he was able to communicate so well between the two factions... I think he let what he really thought guide him instead of what he was expected to think as a member of a particular faction. That's a very important thing. Someday I'd really like to be as good as him (lolol) although definitely not with his job.
-mind game It's an anime directed by Masaaki Yuasa, a crazy film which kind of breaks a number of rules you find in anime and goes all-out on everything. Really good stuff, although I won't say it's exactly my favourite but I guess it's nice to let anyone interested in knowing who I am that I watch that sort of stuff. I like the aesthetics of it though.
-ぬこで萌え死ぬ Cats killed me ded ;_; I really have too much of a huge weakness for cats... I mean sometimes I just spontaneously think of cats and have to try hard to stop convulsing. >_> This interest is really very true and I don't think it's ever going to change. I just don't know why I love them so much, there's this universal spread of cat-loving people who can't resist the aesthetics and tendencies of cats. I don't find that in any other animal.

OK that was really weird.
