Digichrist interviewed me.
Aug. 9th, 2003 03:38 am) How do you feel about Charles Manson, the family and what they did? Do the same for Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.
Charles Manson and his situation can be summed up in two words: drugs and charisma. Even now, with him old and shit-eating crazy in jail, he still exudes an almost palpable (word? I don't remember) air or power. His Family were all a bunch of disillusioned kids who were looking for someone to worship, in an era where civil disobedience was hip. However, they took so much acid that you could have told them they were Pepe Le Pew and they would have started romancing pussycats. I don't believe that he told them to commit the Tate/LaBianca murders. But, I do believe that they did it to please him.
Brady and Hindley? I actually don't know much about them, other then the basic facts of their crimes.
2) You are a European country, which one are you and why?
I had trouble with this one, so I asked my friend Pixie for her opinion.
me: if I was going to be a European country, which one do you think I'd be?
pixie: hmmm
pixie: Germany
me: why Germany?
pixie: You 're always oppressing the Jews.
pixie: Duh.
me: HAHAHAHA
She continued by saying that I would be Germany because it has edge, it could take her in a fight, and because it had troubled times in the past but is carrying on with culture and class.
That's me, that is. ;)
3) Quote a section of Crowley, explain it and then tell me how you feel about it. Also, how do you feel about the online Crowley - Q/Kabbalah buffs?
"The great bond of all bonds is ignorance. How shall a man be free to act if he know not his own purpose? You must therefore first of all discover which star of all the stars you are, your relation to the other stars about you, and your relation to, and identity with, the Whole."
The first part is fairly self explanatory. Ignorance holds you back. If you don't know something, you can't do it. I think the second greatest bond is fear. If you're afraid, you won't pursue. You can't build and refine your Will if you let fear control you. Even if you're not ignorant anymore, you're scared to do it. And the fear still holds you back from your desired action(s).
The second part I still have trouble with, as I'm still discovering which star I am and what my relation is to everyone around me. I think I'm always going to have a problem with this, though.
Some of the online Crowley heads are okay. I've met a couple who were fun to talk to, occasionally poking them with a stick to see if they jump. A large portion of them, however, are entirely too full of themselves. They parrot out a bunch of Crowley spew because they think it makes them sound enlightened. When, in fact, it does nothing but show them as a bunch of unoriginal and ignorant idiots. I can repeat everything someone said, too. Anyone can do it. But, when you put your own ideas into something? When you prod at it and question and go off on tangents, that's when creation and thought truly happens.
Some of them might as well be a bunch of Wiccans, for the lack of free thinking they show.
4) You're having a dinner party and you're allowed to choose your 8 guests from the entirity of human history, whom would you choose and why?
hmm.
Judas Iscariot, so I can give the poor guy a glass of wine and tell him it's okay he sold out Christ for a bag of gold. It all went to pot anyway and there's nothing he could have done about it.
Gerald Gardner, so I can smack him across the back of his head. "Gerald! What the FUCK?! Skyclad? You know how many unattractive people are going for that idea?!"
Alice Liddell. I'd like to meet the real Alice.
Anton Lavey, for pure comedy factor. I'd like to watch the man sit around and talk smack all night. See who falls for it.
Pope John Paul II. He's such a wee little man and I'd like to try on his hat. Actually, I'd like to discuss modern society with him and see if anything he says matches up with Vatican rhetoric.
Rasputin. I'd like to find out if he really was a miracle worker, or if it was all just manipulating the fuck out of the Imperial Family.
Edgar Allan Poe, for good storytelling after dinner.
Joshua Norton I, Emperor of America. Reality is what you can get away with. He was a great man and I would have loved to have met him.
5) Nick Cave wants you to play in The Bad Seeds for his next studio album and tour. However, it's a covers album and he's going to need you to participate in doing some covers of songs by The Smiths and Morrissey, would you do it?
Only if I can have a kazoo solo during "How Soon Is Now?"
