Tagged by dearest :kiwidoll: and a few reflections about myself:

* 1. Post these rules.
* 2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about their self on their journal.
* 3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 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

~ I. In literature my most favourite period is "Romanticism" that is as the "beautiful soul" of (Weimar) Classicism was stained by unholy subconsciousness and inner madness. Darkness, untamed gorgeous nature and fairy tales of old. In contrast I find no delight in the music of Romanticism, the only exception being compositions of Frederic Chopin. I preferably listen to elder music of Medieval Ages, Renaissance and Baroque instead.

~ II. I was about 5 years old my parents bought me a book on Greek myths. Nowadays mythology - further poetry, history and biographies are my favoured reading. No wonder J.R.R. Tolkien who created (and re-used and combined) all of these is an author I truly adore and admire. Yet I have to shake my head about the movie version...

~III. Of archaic Godesses I favour Demeter's daughter the most for I am fascinated by her "two faces": sweet, innocent Kore/cold, well-nigh cruel Pesephone mingled to one. Of what can be called "Gods" I am a lover of Lucifer, morning star, the highborn, who fell. My weakness for "riven" personalities I suppose.

~IV. I was called both "arrogant" and "naive" by fellow humans. I believe I am neither.

~V. I score as an rare female INTJ that is "Introvert, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging" regarding the Myers-Briggs Personality Test and indeed it suits rather nicely... I think MBTI comparable to astrology in general though: amusing but questionable.

~VI. The only celebrity of nowadays I have ever came close to "fangirl" about/be interested in was Mana from "Malice Mizer"/"Moi dix Mois". The interest ended as I decided him to be too much of a child to suit me.

~VII. I am a hopeless sucker for well-versed, diversified, polished language. For cadences and rhymes, metaphors and allusions, word plays, archaic vocabulary. A corresponding experience compares but to ecstasy; the common (internet) speech is more of a drastic mood killer. Poor thing who loves with her ears...

~VIII. Among other things I am delighted by are soft Toys, the Theatre, Particles (physics), Colours, Languages, Rambling, the Sea, the Forbidden, the Dreams.

Tagging is against my principles, thus feel yourself addressed if such be your desire.
