allt's Interests

General	history (i am very hyperfixated on the “troubles” in northern ireland at the moment and will spare any moment of my life to infodump incessantly about them. i occasionally look into other periods of irish history as well, alongside the new imperialism- and spanish civil war-related stuff i’m learning about at school right now), politics (uk and ireland) and shortwave radio. i take the occasional peek into religion, sociology and literature as well. (older interests that no longer bring me much joy, but i am still able to discuss (for some reason): albania under communism, the yugoslav wars in kosovo)
Music	r.e.m., ermal meta, talk talk, the album “ten” by pearl jam, most 1990s alternative rock music, new wave. some people have told me that my music taste reminds them of a british 40-year-old dad’s grilling mix and i, to be honest, kind of agree. (older interests that no longer bring me much joy, but i am still able to discuss (for some reason): frank zappa)
Movies	i am not interested in film at all: if you can recommend me any films, i will try to look into them. i did, however, enjoy “the grand budapest hotel” when i watched it four years ago, so that is there if that says anything.
Television	i am not interested in television either! same goes for television series as goes for films: if you recommend me anything, i will probably look into it. (older interests that no longer bring me much joy, but i am still able to discuss (for some reason): the sanremo music festival)
Books	most works by james joyce (though, i feel the enthusiasm i had towards his work is now long gone) (i have read “dubliners”, “a portrait of the artist as a young man”, his poetry and “exiles”), flann o’brien (i have read “at-swim-two-birds” and “the third policeman”), brian friel (i have read “philadelphia, here i come!”, “translations” and “dancing at lughnasa”) and also “waiting for godot” by samuel beckett, “a streetcar named desire” by tennessee williams, “hood” by emma donoghue and “group portrait with lady” by heinrich böll. i read quite a lot of non-fiction, mostly about irish history, as well. (most of my enthusiasm for literature depended on and was started by “trainspotting” by irvine welsh. i can no longer support his work or endorse his opinions, but i feel the fact that i was interested in it at that one point of my life really reflects)
Heroes	i am too against idolising any person to really have any. (i am not irish and have no connections to ireland except for my interest in its history and literature, but i felt inclined to add this graphic here because it is just so funny to me. why is the flag disappearing?)

About me:

hi! i’m allt. i’m interested in quite a lot of things, most of which are history and media-related. i’m seventeen, i live in cyprus and speak russian, english and german (meiner deutschsprachkenntiss ist nicht sehr gut. ich hab kein enthusiasmus für sprachen und frage mich fast jede woche, wofür ich lerne eigentlich deutsch). i’m always happy to learn about anything (though, with my current workload as an a-level student, it is getting rather difficult for me to be consistently active on here!), even if it damages the comfortable position i am in (when it comes to politics, i just want everyone to live a life free from suffering. i’m against all hierarchy, and, through the four or so years i have been exploring history and politics so far, very interested in resistance movements): ignorant is something i aim not to be, though i, as any other person, very much can be.

Who I'd like to meet:

other people with similar views or similarly interesting interests.

benny // whalefall	3 months ago dude. it is so cool you live in cyprus. how is it? which region do you live in? Report Comment i live in limassol! it is not really that exciting of a place (everything seems to happen in nicosia and i absolutely understand this view as i literally wrote a blog entry the last time i went there, except for football (i do not watch any sports broadcasting, but how often support for cypruot football teams is tied to the area in which one lives in and their political stances (for example, in limassol, there are two main football teams (technically three, but the only thing i know about aris limassol is that they are owned by a russian oligarch), ael and apollon limassol, the former being associated with anti-police sentiment (i live in an “ael area” and i see a lot of acab and anarchist symbol graffiti that is drawn out of support for the club rather than any genuine political conviction (this is just sad, i know!), which i find really interesting. reminds me a little bit about how the phrase “up the ra” emerged not from the ira, but glasgow celtic fc supporters!) and the latter with right-wing bigotry), as this reminds me so much of the glasgow celtic-rangers and hibernian-heart of midlothian football rivalries in scotland (once again, i am not interested in sport, the only reason i know a lot about these is because i read a lot of irvine welsh books when i was 15), the carnival (which i am not interested in at all), the wine festival (which only tourists seem to be interested in but, hey, i wrote about it in my german exam last year!) and some radio stations), but that pleases me quite a lot. the only reason i want to leave is because i want to cut myself off from my family and that has nothing to do with the place at all. by allt; 3 months ago; Report (sorry for the infodump, i tend to do that!) by allt; 3 months ago; Report no no i love infodumps it's okay i'm always down for a good infodump by benny // whalefall; 3 months ago; Report
Vostok	5 months ago Sorry I forgot to leave a comment when I added you, but I enjoyed reading all the stuff on your profile! As other people have said, I love your niche interests and I believe it's very important for people to have interests that may appear unconventional or atypical to the general population. I look forward to seeing more from you! Report Comment
