1. Comment on this entry saying Rhubarb!, and I'll pick three things from you profile interests. If you don't have any listed, link your intro post or tags, and I'll choose three of your fandoms or other interests you've mentioned.
2. Make a post in your journal or comment here and talk about the words or phrases I picked!
My answers to their picks:
classic rock - I was a kid during the classic rock era and even though it dates me, it's MY rock and roll. Nothing beats the feeling of hearing a classic song and remembering the feeling you had when you first heard it. Favorite bands and acts - The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and more and more. The music seems to have an odd innocence that we've lost since. We all still believed that we could change the world and we could live in brotherhood.
elves - Tolkien elves to be specific! I fell in love with elves when I was 12 or so and read The Hobbit. They seemed to be the perfect beings! LOTR came next and I was completely in love. Peter Jackson's elves cemented it - I fell in love with the melancholy of their immortality, among other things, plus Legolas was just hot! No other elves have ever really interested me. I do want to dismember the Elf on a Shelf and the whole stupid idea.
watching old TV shows - I am old! They're just tv shows from my childhood! Actually some of my old faves were shows that were old when I was a kid - I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners come to mind. I used to watch The Honeymooners after the late news with my dad... we'd laugh loud enough to keep Mama awake in the other room. H8ubby and I have bought several sets of old shows to watch on DVD - The Flintstones, The Man From UNCLE, Batman, Star Trek, Superman to name a few. Some hold up well, some don't.
I look forward to your answers so Rhubarb me!
