Ganked from a couple of people:

1 Scan my interest list and pick out the one that seems the most odd to you.

2 I'll explain it.

3 Then you post this in your journal so other people can ask you about your interests.


I'm just on a quick 5 minute break right now, so ask away but I probably won't respond 'til later tonight. That's also when I'll be perusing the rest of y'alls interests to ask about them...

Re: Which one has the most interesting explanation?

Bordertown: series of books by Will Shetterly. the bordertown is actually the border between Faerie & the real world so it's got lots of cool mixtures of technology & magic.

Actually Terri Windling created the Bordertown setting and edited a number of anthologies. Will Shetterly wrote 2 excellent novels and Emma Bull wrote 1 (that I'm aware of) in the same setting.

I haven't read any of the Terri Windling stuff, but I'm eager to find some.

ocean waves: I've only actually seen the ocean 3 times in my entire life (twice in Los Angeles and our trip to Washington State last year) and the first time was when I was 32 years old. It is just so cool & huge & the waves have a life of their own.

I've only seen it once as a kid, on a family road trip to Alaska. The tide was going out as my brother and I stood on the beach. There was a tiny tip of rock about two yards from dry land that just barely poked out of the water when we got there.

After a while the water receded enough that I could jump out to the rock. There was now just enough exposed rock to stand on. I crouched on the rock as the sea drained away around me. After a while I jumped off the huge boulder and walked back on dry ground.

I was amazed that something so horizon-to-horizon huge could move like that.
