Yo. Long time no see.
So, even though this is a blog, I've been absolutely hesitant to write personal things about me. I think that if anything personal were to be taken away from this blog, it would need to be deduced from the minor hints of my personality given in my thought process. But then I realised, that logic makes sense to me because I know my thoughts, but other people's thoughts are so homogeneous to them that I'm not actually sure if such a deduction is possible. And so, without going too personal, I'd actually like to reveal things about myself for once. As I objectively discover more about myself as well, this particular entry could serve as a good way-point.
This is going to be half Tinder bio and half psychoanalysis, so psychology ladies ;)
Anyway, first things first: since this is a creative writing website, and since I've learned a bit more about my style, I'd like to speculate as to my writing affinities.
My favorite thing about writing must be the creation of new worlds and new cultures. I just love changing something about the world that we live in and adapting cultures, essentially people and the way that they think and act, to those situations. Asking the obvious questions that arise in these situations, such as what is an average person like, what is an average routine, what skills are more developed and less developed than ours etc. I try to restrain myself from going too deep, however, ask culture also has a historical aspect, which means the more questions I ask the more I want to create a detailed history of this world. The more questions about history that I have, the more arise. It's a never-ending cycle of speculation, and it excites me. That's also why I'm currently researching the history of Africa's culture in relation to slavery time Europe for a project, and why it's already three days late. And why I haven't handed in any of the preliminary projects. And why I'm failing History class.
The one thing that is most difficult to grasp, however, is character actions that are based on emotions. I was brought up and taught in very conflicting ways: my mother who promotes emotional thought and is a spiritual person, and my father who promotes only two emotions: anger and fear. The rest of the emotions only cause trouble, especially love, and that's also probably why I haven't felt deep love yet. More recently, I have been tending towards the latter. My only emotional outlet is writing, and so reading over my works always sounds like a different person. Even the voice in my head changes while I write.

Secondly: my music taste. Ever since I was a kid I searched for electronic music, and since I didn't know where to look or what to call it, I didn't get into music until three years ago. I literally owned one CD: The high school musical 2 soundtrack. I never listened to it, and I'm ashamed that I spent a whole month's pocket money on it to this day. I then got into the South African band Goldfish, who I latched onto for their electronic undertones superseded by Jazzy tunes. I didn't know what I liked about it yet, so it was the only music that I listened to for a year, then got bored. After that is when my life truly changed. Probably hyperbolic, but you get the idea. The internet was simultaneously raving over and hating over Skrillex, and so I decided to check him out. Blew. My. Mind. I thought that this was exactly what I was looking for, but yet again only some of his songs had the quality that I wanted, and he was the only Dubstep artist that I listened to, so I got bored. Then everything changed when the Electro Nation attacked. I was browsing some animations on Youtube and found one that used a short Japanese song by Capsule. I thought it was super catchy, and after I found it on a particular channel MikuMusicNetwork, I finally found my musical calling. Electro, Electro House, Dubstep, Lovestep, Chillstep, Future Base, Nu Disco, you name it. I was enthralled. The artists that I found from that channel is what I still follow to this day.
My taste in Electronic music can be generally summarised by two things: simple structure, complex sound. I personally love the age of music that we are in, where one person has the ability to create a plethora of music, making each song from them in their unique structure and sound to the point that you can tell them apart immediately. Take Suken, for example. His style is extremely easy to pinpoint.
For me, complex sound comprises of either high-quality bass and treble, or voice/sound manipulation. for a pretty clear example take this song, which I'm pretty sure manipulates the sound of a Guitar.
I feel that Electronic music has its roots in rock, just with less emotion, so I can enjoy rock as well.
See you again soon, I hope.
