Interests meme

LJ Interests meme results

1. 5-minute-refresh:
   This was started as a joke. It's for those of us, who lack a real social life, live vicariously by constantly checking to see if there are any now posts on our friends page.
2. barenaked ladies:
   I can thank "thingunderthest" for my interest in Canadian music. BNL produces some of the best folkie/rock out there, and have amazing lyrics.
3. books:
   Can't live without them.
4. football:
   I was raised a 49er faithful, and still love the game.
5. guns:
   Despite being raised by nice liberal parents who tried to get my interested in other things, I remain a gun nut. I love shooting, and am a pretty damn good shot.
6. ljmaps_gridlore:
   This one is left over from one of those "map your friends" memes. I should delete it.
7. penguins:
   Ah, my little feathered friends. I've told the story of how I became penguin boy many times, so suffice it to say that I love penguins and find them endlessly fascinating.
8. rpgs:
   I've been playing role-playing games since I was about 9, and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. What attracted me was that here was a hobby where the reality of my body (back then I was chubby, weak, and a klutz) didn't stop me from being a hero. I loved getting "out of myself" for a few hours. Then I became a game master, and never looked back.
9. science fiction:
   I was raised on SF. My mom is an original Trekkie, and some of my first books were written by Heinlein and Clarke. I love SF for the visions of how things might be, warts and all.
10. stuffed animals:
    Blame Kiri for this one. She brought the zoo into our marriage. I was pretty much immune to their little fluffy charms until I got sick, and had my spleen removed. After surgery like that, you have the urge to hold yourself "in". Kiri provided me with Roadie, a big white bear. Ten years later, and I'm still sleeping with him.

I roll to disbelieve.

No. This is not happening. No way in hell is Tunnels and Trolls 30 years old.

This is a game I owned the first edition of, way back when. Y'see, for T&T to be thirty, I'd having to be pushing forty, and that simply isn't possible.

In other breaking news, the Giants didn't blow a five run lead in game 6 of the 2002 World Series, and were the champions that year.
