Kulturzeit!

[gothikmaus]

I know I said I wouldn't make New Year's resolutions because I never keep them, but this is actually something I can do. I realised I have a lot of catching up to do concerning books, films, music etc, so this year's motto is: more culture! I've started off the year with a bang and on the 2nd I finally watched Fight Club. Yes, I still hadn't watched it. *hides* Then there are 3 books I started and never finished, and the local library has a lot of interesting CDs, like The Smashing Pumpkins and Kraftwerk (which I borrowed some time ago), and DVDs. And my parents have dozens of DVDs I still haven't watched at home.

I'll try to use this entry to keep track of my progress.

I'm the same. There are so many things that are popular and whatnot and when I say, for example, that I have not heard a piece of music some people think I'm lying and get angry because I really have never heard it :\

There was a series of programs on here not long ago about illustrations in children's books and in the episode where they discussed "iconic books for older children" I had only read about two of them D: And I read non-stop as a kid. I guess it's because I refused to read books about people, especially ones with other kids in them because they were always middle-class and complete pricks. I mean, books about pony riding? I couldn't get beyond the fact that the children in them could afford to go pony riding. On the list was things like The Famous Five and Swallows and Amazons, which were all about a bunch of well-off kids having rollicking adventures but still were in home for time for tea D: So out of the lists of "Books You Must Read Before You Die", I've read very few. I've started to read history books lately anyway. It's way wackier than fiction XD

Urgh, I hate pony riding, I hate horses. And I hate all those little girls spending their money for that stupid "Wendy". NO, I NEVER WANTED TO HAVE A HORSE, EVEN IF ALL OTHER GIRLS WANTED TO!
Wendy

Oops, I'm sorry, that's my childhood's big trauma. XD

PS: I'm sorry, I'm too stupid for that damn link! All because of the trauma!

No no, it's mine too XD I think it was because all little girls were supposed to love ponies and horse riding but I had no interest in it at all and every other girl in my class was bent on ponies and horses and show jumping and urgh! I hated it! It was all "Ponyponyponypony" and I just didn't care! I was happy playing with a stick and tending to my little graveyard XD

I just don't see the attraction with horse riding. My mother had a horse when she was young (she was given it for free and she lived in a small village) but she didn't enter competitions and she just rode it as it was, without saddles or tack. If it was like that then I would probably like it, but it's all the little pony clubs and pony summer camps the girls would go on that were so horrible and dull D:

Hee, my brother had awesome toys too. I never played with mine. He had Ghostbusters and HeMan stuff, why would I want to play with dolls when he had that? Plus I was brought up in the countryside so I spent a lot of time up trees and swimming in rivers and things XD Nice, free things! Not expensive hobbies like pony riding.

I didn't want a horse either, I just wanted a cat. XD
