Uhm... Hi~. You can call me a menagerie of things, as long as it's appropriate and I don't tell you specifically to call me that, but Ane and Prae would possibly work best.
Anyways, my username, PraetentusAnemos, came from when I was thinking of possible show names for the horse I was competing on last year.
I'm 15, 16 in March, but that doesn't really matter. I've been into music my whole life, but only really discovered metal when I was 11. I don't really care about the subgenre, as long as the instrumentals and vocals are good. However, I do still listen to other genres of music, just not as much. I also play violin, piano, and sing. I've been classically trained in all three even though it's been a while since I've had any lessons.
Horses are also a huge part of my life. I've co-trained or trained to a certain degree three different horses and am now working on my fourth, which is actually my very own. Well she's my parents' legally, but I'm doing most of the training and care with advice and tips from my trainer who's mainly on the ground. Since it's totally a God thing that we have her, I'm currently arranging for her to be dedicated.
Essentially, my whole nuclear family is Christian and has been baptized into the Seventh-Day Adventists denomination. No, we are not a cult. However, I take pride in my Jewish ancestry and will claim to be a Christ following and believing Jew, even if I have not been bat miztvah'd and can not technically become a member of a synagogue until there have been some changes... (is that the right way to put it? sometimes I think English was not meant to be my main language!)
It's extremely hard for me to choose favourites and even harder for me to remember all the things I like so... I guess I'll just list a few I like and can remember?
Bands/Musicians/Composers!
Tokio Hotel (mainly their older stuff, and yes I'm listening right now!), Rammstein, Theocracy, Nightwish (mainly with Tarja on vocals... >.> ), Turisas, Stratovarius, Dream Theater, BarlowGirl, Newsboys (particularly with Peter Furler as singer), Tyr, Disciple, Battlelore, Takanashi Yasuharu, the gazette...
Books!
Ender's Game, the Chronicles of Narnia series, Out of the Silent Planet (never got to read the second and I was unimpressed, if not disappointed, with the last of the series), Mere Christianity, Orthodoxy, the Bible...
Movies!
War Horse, How to Train Your Dragon, most all Jackie Chan movies, and... I can't think of anymore
Welp, that's it for now~!
