Hello and happy timezones, kind friends! I have greatly enjoyed your responses to my Get to Know You posts.
So, it’s time. Come sit on my porch for a spell. Tea, lemonade and refreshments will be served shortly.
Here are 3 questions! Let’s go!
Round #71:
What are some of your favorite songs from your teenage years that you still listen to?
Who was your favorite actor or actress as a kid?
What was the title of your first job?
Here are my answers:
Anything by U2, Bryan Adams, Sting, or Springsteen
Johnny Depp. I was 14, I think, when he appeared in Nightmare on Elm Street.
I was a Sales Associate at JC Penney. I made minimum wage at $4.10/hour, and I worked in the Young Men’s Department, spending most of the day folding jeans and checking people out. lol
And now, it’s your turn! If you don’t want to participate, no problem! I’m just glad you’re here. A hello would be fantastic, though! Of course, lurkers are always heartily welcome, too. xo
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!
Anything by Billy Joel, Christian artist Michael W. Smith or Kenny Rogers. I really like The Ballad of Billy the Kid by Billy Joel.
Catherine Bach from The Dukes of Hazzard probably.
Paper boy. Did I throw it in your bushes or break your window? Sorry. lol
What are some of your favorite songs from your teenage years that you still listen to? Anything and everything by Boyz II men
Who was your favorite actor or actress as a kid? Tom Hanks
What was the title of your first job? Substitute teacher
Backstreet boys and Westlife
Robin Williams and Leonardo DiCaprio
Teacher
I grew up watching Sesame Street. Though in the Philippines, our first language growin up was English, so me and my sisters would often Fail on Subjects the Filipino and Sibika (History ane culture) Subjects and school. Important if you wanna proceed to the next level.
But since I watch A-Team and Airwolf, I love George Peppard and get to love him and Audrey Hepburn “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” or “The way we were” by Robert Redford and Barbara Streizand.
Hello, these are fun, but tonight answers came right to me, so I’m joining in.
1. I remember liking older bands, but in my teens I enjoyed Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Bachman Turner, and so forth; and still listen whenever I can.
2. I liked Ali McGraw, Roy Scheider, Paul La Matt, and a bunch of TV stars, including this one guy-John Travolta-who got a movie or two!
3. My first job was at Dairy Queen. I’d gotten a work permit, being under 16, so really only did ice cream and fountain work, but learned how to do some of the cooking, as well, since we had a brazier. No title! It was 50 cents an hour, but I got to buy my own clothes and go out a little bit, so it was a good job. The managers/owners were good people, and reinforced good work ethic.
I was a big Mammas and Pappas fan and still play the albums
I didn’t pay attention to any actors but Raquel Welch was something special.
I was a paper boy at 13
What are some of your favorite songs from your teenage years that you still listen to? I listened to a lot of classical music but other than that “The Passenger by Iggy Pop”, Pink Floyd the Wall
Who was your favorite actor or actress as a kid? Arnold Schwarzenegger, Max von Sydow, Harrison Ford, Kurt Russel
What was the title of your first job? At the age of 13 I was selling newspapers in the summer, then janitor and care taker, after college electrical engineer
Happy time zones, my friend!! 💜💜
1) So I was a teenager in the seventies, so pretty much anything by Led Zeppelin, Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Deep Purple. I was into hard rock and prog rock, mostly.
2) When I was but a lad, I had a huge crush on Diana Rigg, who played Miss Peel on the black and white British show, The Avengers. I believe her last role was in Game of Thrones.
3) Miniature golf course attendant. When I was a teenager, I worked at a mini golf course that was owned by the family of one of my best friends. Second-best job I ever had.
You know, our human has never been into music or movies. The radio is always on but she doesn’t have a favorite and she has never been much into actors either. We do know, her first job was as a waitress at Poppin Fresh Pies which is no more 🙂 Fun idea!
