These are a few of my favorite things...
So I was perusing my friends' page and came across an interesting entry on a friend's page and she picked six of my interests to elaborate on, and I shall do that now. I have not updated my interests in years, so this should be fun.
1. 1930s. Okay, I don't know much about the 30's besides what I was taught in history, but I remember randomly searching for popular saying during various centuries, and the 30's list intrigued me. There's just something about using words such as daddio that seems cool to me. Also, Billie Holiday and a lot of other jazz greats were alive at this time. I would love to go back there and just chill at a lounge listening to them sing and/or play music.
2. Cherry popsicles. Lol, that was on a whim. They're just good. I remember sometimes pretending that they were lipstick. I've heard about some strange sexual feats involving this dessert, but I like to keep (most of) my eating rated G.
3. Mikey. That's my boo right there. I met him through a fanfiction website. He was my #1 fan from the start and we still keep in touch. Though he's about 5 years my senior, he's still a kid at heart. His funny impressions crack me up and he's one of the sweetest guys I know. I've never met him in person because he lives in Chicago while I'm stuck in VA. One of these days, we'll definitely make it happen though. I love him.
4. Spoken Word. This poetic art is amazing. It's a huge part of my life considering that I know a lot of aspiring spoken word artists. My current boyfriend is one as well. I was always the type to watch Def Poetry and go to local open mics if I had the money. I've also picked up a few books (Spoken Word Revolution is a must-read). I don't personally consider myself a spoken word artist. I'm much too shy to overly exaggerate my lines in the first place. Reading my poetry is fun though. Maybe I'll have one popular spoken word piece or two.
5. Profiling. I think I put this up there just because I loved to change up my myspace profile back in the day. I used to add pictures of friends, quiz results, movie pics, etc. Now the task just seems tedious.
6. Jazz. Jazz never really phased me much in my younger years, but it's so relaxing now. Most of the time when I'm driving, I'll keep my radio tuned to the new smooth jazz station. It just sets the mood. It's hard to find songs because most of them are instrumentals, so if the dj doesn't tell you the title, you're pretty much screwed. Other than that, I feel like I need to make this musical genre an even bigger part of my life. The Hampton Jazz Festival is in a few weeks and I would love to attend.
And so your objective (if you choose to accept) is to pick 5-7 other random interests from my profile for me to elaborate on, or if you want me to, I can pick 5-7 random interests from your profile for you to expound on in a future lj entry.
