I'm Linwe. Well not really, it's my real name in elvish. Yes, that made up language from Lord of the Rings.
I also go by Trinity, Captain, Madam, and Viviana, which is the name I
chose to have for Italian class. I will answer to any, but I won't tell
you my real name because I like it too much.
I have mostly Star Trek stories here, some are old, some are new. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, but I don't beg.
Here's a few of my favourite things:
Books
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (Bradbury is a genius!)
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (My idol. The book is brilliant)
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Gold (This book was so touching and beautiful, I completely fell in love. I highly reccommend)
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke (very interesting concept for
book-lovers like myself. It's a bit juvenile, but I couldn't put it
down. Capricon=love)
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (their so beautiful and classic, enough said)
The Harry Potter series (Yes, I too have been sucked in. My favourite character is Snape.)
The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (It's actually comedic, and Raoul cries a lot.)
Those
are just a few, but I read more than I sleep, so books are a big part
of me. I enjoy anything fanasty, and science-fiction, as well as some
modern fiction, if it's well done.
Movies
The Matrix (only the first)
Memoirs of a Geisha (almost as beautiful as the book)
Labyrinth (David Bowie! Brain Froud, George Lucas, Jim Henson-- all worked on this!)
Spirited Away (Miyazaki is genius, I love anything by him)
The Nightmare Before Christmas (Great songs, go Tim Burton!)
The Phantom of the Opera (Great music of course, and Gerard Butler)
RENT (Awesome music, great actors. It was well-adapted from the Broadway production)
Edward Scissorhands (Johnny Depp is a great actor)
Music (I'll only list my top bands)
Mediaeval Baebes
Placebo
Rage Against the Machine
Enigma
Enya
Michelle Branch
Joe Hishaishi
MDFMK
Marilyn Manson
Underworld
Paul Oakenfold
John Williams
Andrew Lloyd Weber
Pink Floyd
Amethystium
Authors/Poets
Oscar Wilde (please look him up, he rocks!)
Ray Bradbury (Genius! I want to meet him before he dies so badly)
Robert Frost (beautiful nature poetry)
Matthew Arnold (very interesting poetry)
Meg Cabot (don't shoot me, Sarrin...)
Cornelia Funke
Quotes
"It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees" - Emiliano Zapata
"Sir,
I admit your general rule,/ that every poet is a fool,/ but you
yourself may serve to show it/ that every fool is not a poet."
-Alexander Pope
"Love is like oxygen! Love is a many-splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love!" -Moulin Rouge (and a bunch of other songs before that.)
"We are the music-makers,
and we are the dreamers of dreams.
... we are the movers and the shakers
of the world forever it seems."
-Arthur O'Shaughnessy
"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.-
No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything.-
Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.-"
-The Picture of Dorian Gray
by Oscar Wilde
(excerpt) Preface.
“Not
everyone is born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone
is made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are
happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge
themselves against.”-Captain Beatty from Fahrenheit 451
