The Cold War would be my second place, it was kinda like like the psychological thriller sequel to Vietnam.

My dad told me stories about being maybe 10 or 12 or so during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Sounded like a really freaking scary time to live in.

I like the 1960 U-2 incident. U-2s are cool.

Obvs the cold war is my favorite war.

Vietnam was kind of a result of the cold war. But I don't like to think of it like that. I like to think of the cold war as a nice clean conflict between Russia and the US. Or Warsaw Pact and NATO if you would prefer Europe to be involved.

We're such a fucked up group of people, talking about our favourite wars.

BATTLE OF HASTINGS BITCHES!

That sounds like a battle, not a war.

Oh yes, but nuclear war never actually happened which is why it's okay for me to like it now.

Also in the spirit of the end of the world, this article has a list of some close calls: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_III

My dad met JFK when he was about 7. He showed me a black and white picture of it. Ironic since he's all anti-american now.

I don't remember my dad meeting any cool presidents. :c But now for some reason I'm thinking of this time in first grade or maybe kindergarten when my class drew pictures to be sent to soldiers in Iraq. I wonder what happened to mine. I drew a soldier dude walking right up to this fuckin' Mongolian-death-worm-with-legs monster piece o' shit and just going "fuck you, I'm an American soldier".

I'm the middle of the Presidents Club. I want to reach the part where JFK gets shot, but there's this boring part about America invading Cuba.

How can the Bay of Pigs invasion be boring?

(seriously asking, I haven't seen that movie)

I have bad memories about it. My dad is all anti-american for some reason, and when I was like 12, he told me about it in a way tthat he was happy that America lost. Now whenever I read it I remember the sick glee on his face when he told me that story.

Oh, ok. I'm sorry. :-( I didn't mean to touch a nerve.


Anyway, I'm going through boxes, and I found this CD of all fifteen Shostakovich symphonies that my high school crush (who I was friends with at the time, but then when he found out I liked him, turned into a complete douchebag) gave me once upon a time. And they're all WMA files! Ugh, that bastard was always such a fucking Windows snob. I should have known.

Time to find a converter...

Don't tell North Korea, they'll get ideas.

I mean, I was so addicted to Shostakovich 7 in sophomore year! When I had a PC and I had all this stuff on there, before my hard drive on that thing went kaput.

@Jolene; No, that would be Duck Phillips. Or Bert Cooper.

Or a million other old, creepy dudes on that show.



Speaking of unsexy people, I can't understand why I liked that guy who gave me the Shostakovich CD. Other than that he played clarinet really well. He wasn't physically attractive in even the slightest sense. And he was also a jerk! And I chased him for two years!

I'm glad I spent four years in music* school because I will never again fall for the "plays instrument well = da SEXay" thing again. I've met too many...bizarre people who are great musicians.

God I had the shittest taste in men as a teenager. I wish I could go back in time and do a "sassy gay friend" routine on my adolescent self...both about my stupid taste in/behavior around boys, and my massive denial about my interest in girls.

*lol, that was the most hilarious typo

Seems to be a thing.

I mean, yeah, it tends to attract weirdos.

But there's the good or at least, interesting kind of "bizarre" and then the...AAAAHHHHHH OMFG GET AWAY FROM ME!!! kind of bizarre.

I met both at music school. Large numbers of both. Luckily, there were a few more in the first category than the second.
