Memeage.

Stolen from nigel_fox Oh, why not? ^^

Go to my profile page and read through my interests list, then pick one interest that you don't understand, or that you're curious about. I'll reply to your comment with an explanation and more details about it. Hell, pick two interests. Or three. I mean, if I had anything better to do, I wouldn't have posted this to begin with, right?

So, anyway... Ask about my freaky interests. And post this to your own journal. 'Cause it's a meme. You know you want to.

You're fun, Jonathan, you know that? ;)

Okay, let's see. I understand what all your interests are, so... ah, role-playing games: hmpf, why aren't you doing more?! ;)

Define 'doing more?' ^^ More roleplaying? Nothing would make me happier than to have a face-to-face RP group wherever I'm living. That's the tricky part, but in the next few months I'll figure out where I'm going to be. =)

I admit to my greed, in that I'd rather you were accessible to me as well for gaming. Aside from that, good luck! ;)

The only two interests you have that I don't understand are:

1) What is alternate history?

2) Who or what is maya?

1. Alternate History are the kind of stories that talk about 'what if' something happened differently. Harry Turtledove does a bunch of series like this, one of them being 'what if' aliens invaded during WWII. There's another about a guy who was thrown back in time and started altering the course of Poland's history (The Cross-Time Engineer, I think it was.)

2. Maya is the name of a program I learned how to do 3D computer modelling on. It's pretty powerful and high-end, but kind of finickey.

Battle Without Jingi is also the name of a Yakuza movie, one of the first of the genre to break with the then-traditional theme of romanticizing the subject matter.
