I confess that I liked Hootie and the Blowfish when "Hold My Hand" first came out.

[najida]

LOL.....I like them too.

Sweet group of young men.

[najida]

BTW,
You don't have to be single to hang out on this thread.

We need chaperones or caperines or capers or yaknowaddamean!

My older brother is a huge fan of NIN.

He even has a t-shirt proclaiming his admiration for that band, believe it or not.

Might have gotten rid of it though; not sure.

I'll have to ask him the next time I go over to his apt.

I should probably also give him back the DVD copies of ATHF that he loaned to me about a year ago.

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. If I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard stuff, really.

[najida]

Yeah,
I actually have concert videos,
how sick is that :o

[najida]

Where is Rangoon, BTW?

[scott7278]

It's now known as Yangon, and it is in Burma.

[scott7278]

That's what I thought, anyway, but the official website of the US Embassy there still says "Rangoon, Burma."

Since you asked:

Favorite hobby way back when: Shooting guns.

Favorite hobby now: Shooting guns.

I can't believe I used to like that: Nothing. I like the everything about the old days better than I like everything now, except I like music CD's better than the old vinyl records.

Favorite band in the old days: The Beatles (from when She Loves You and I Want To Hold Your Hand first came out).

Favorite band now: Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac (the more thing change the more they stay the same, a mid to late 60's band).

No surprises other than I seem quiet and shy at first, but only at first. Then I seem loud and annoying.

Hi, najida & All: Nice pics! This took some thought, but here goes:

What hobby or interest did you have when you were younger that you still have a passion for?

Books. When I was 10, I started collecting them from library booksales, used bookstores and the like--I even cataloged them on little index cards like the library (this was before computers, I have to admit). I still love books, though I'm not quite as obsessive about them now.

Ok, now....is there something you used to do that you now think "I can't believe I used to like that!"

The Bump. Ugh!

What was your favorite band/song in highschool, then early adulthood compared to now?

High School/Early Adulthood = Foreigner Now = Vivaldi

Is there anything in your interests, hobbies or life that would surprise people who know you?

I have this "thing" for Weird Al Yankovic.

Yikes! Now everyone knows!!

[carlr]

Evening,how is everyone tonight?

The only things that I remember from growing up that might be considered a hobby were politics and trying to figure out how engines and other stuff worked.
