Basic Info| Name: | How dreary - to be - Somebody! |
|---|---|
| Location: | Slovak Republic |
BioI'm Nobody!
. . . Who are you?
Are you — Nobody — Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise — you know!
How dreary — to be — Somebody!
How public — like a Frog —
To tell one's name — the livelong June —
To an admiring Bog!
(Emily Dickinson)
I`m 29 year old bookworm. I`m at LJ mainly to read Harry Potter fan fiction (I like canonish and plotful quality fics, mostly gen. My favorite writers are![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
fernwithy and a_t_rain), to read what`s going on at various psychology communities and to look at pictures of cats.
What else to say? Here are some things I like: books, music, movies, hiking in mountains, swimming (preferably in the sea), medieval architecture and art, good wine, perfumes, outings with friends (but more of a ''chat over a coffee'' kind, I am not a clubber), chocolate, art and nature history museums, cats and dogs, woods and waterfalls, dynamical psychology, musicals (Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, West Side Story), singing, summer evenings in the city, summer mornings in the country, Murphy`s laws, libraries and bookshops, literary theory and criticism, dangly earrings, listening to my brother (who is a DJ) scratching on his turntables, Christianity (altough I cannot call myself Christian in full sense), observing and analysing things, philosophical conversations
BOOKS - authors: Emily Dickinson, Hermann Hesse, Graham Greene, J.R.R.Tolkien, R. M. Rilke, Ivan Laucik, Ursula K. LeGuin, Jan Skacel, Viktor Frankl, Oliver Sacks, Agatha Christie, J.K.Rowling, Karel Capek, e.e.cummings, POETRY!
MOVIES: Night on Earth (Jim Jarmusch), Sky above Berlin, Lisbon Story (Wim Wenders), The Matrix (first one, not the sequels), The Hours, 8 Mile, Dead Man Walking, Wild Strawberries (Ingmar Bergman), Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, Farinelli, Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, West Side Story, Hable con ella, Rok ďábla, Tajemný hrad v Karpatech, Before Sunrise, The Shawshank Redemption, Mystic River, The Lord of the Rings movies
BTW, my username is not "prelude" without an e. "Prelud" is a wonderful (rarely used,though) Slovak word with many meanings: spectre, ghost, hallucination, illusion, mirage, vision...
As they say:"Tell me what you read and I will tell you who you are". Some of my books: http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=benvenuta
Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness.
'T is the majority
In this, as all, prevails.
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur, -- you're straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.

===============================
"Why Can't I Be Good"
===============================
soundtrack _Faraway, So Close!_
(Various Artists, 1993)
written by Lou Reed
===============================
Why can't I be good, why can't I act like a man
why can't I be good, and do what other men can
Why can't I be good make something of this life
if I can't be a god let me be more than a wife
Why can't I be good
why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
why can't I be good
I don't want to be weak, I want to be strong
not a fat happy weakling with two useless arms
A mouth that keeps moving with nothing to say
an eternal baby who never moved away
Why can't I be good
why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
why can't I be good
I'd like to look in the mirror with a feeling of pride
instead of seeing a reflection of failure a crime
I don't want to turn away to make sure I cannot see
I don't want to hold my ears when I think about me
Why can't I be good
why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
why can't I be good
I want to be like the wind when it uproots a tree
carries it across an ocean to plant in a valley
I want to be like the sun that makes it flourish and grow
I don't want to be what I am anymore
Why can't I be good
why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
why can't I be good
I was thinking of some kind of whacked out syncopation
that would help improve this song
Some knock 'em down rhythm that would help it move along
Some rhyme of pure perfection A beat so hard and strong
If I can't get it right this time
will a next time come along
Why can't I be good
. . . Who are you?
Are you — Nobody — Too?
