"You asked" or "The Answer"

Sep 28, 2016 22:51

After the last friending frenzy I participated in, I made a post where anyone could ask me anything and I'd answer. I did create an answer post, but I was trying to get a picture to accompany one of my answers before I posted it as public, so I saved it as a sort of draft by marking it as "private." I swear I took the picture I wanted to ( Read more... )

Broccoli and bell peppers are two of the very few veggies that I do like. :P

The blueberry pomegranate flakes-n-clusers sound yummy.

My dad actually makes a cold broccoli salad type thing with garlic, lemon juice and olive oil that I really like. I've started trying to eat mild peppers when it's with other things. I think it's the texture more than the taste itself. I guess my tastes have changed slightly since I wrote this.

Yes, a very good cereal! Really, though, pretty much anything with clusters and fresh fruit is good. Maple flavor helps, too.

Ahh... Unicorns. That's awesome. I remember as a little girl being entranced by unicorns (do you remember the 80's Lisa Frank stickers? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WIM15I4/ref=pd_sim_21_18?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=T53A5ZGYXN32RXNVM39P). Also, a cartoon in my super young days was Dungeons and Dragons and my favorite character was "Uni", a unicorn ( ... )

UNICORNS ARE THE BEST!!!! missy42 September 30 2016, 04:43:04 UTC
Oh my goodness, I was trying to remember the name of that artist just recently. Yes, of course I remember Lisa Frank stuff! All the girls had a folder or Trapper Keeper or stickers or something with her art on it! I don't remember her things looking quite like that, though, I remember them as being even more cartoon-y, if that's possible. I liked that she put unicorn stuff out there, but it really wasn't my favourite artwork. My parents had this Dali painting hanging in their bedroom:

OMG that picture is adorable. I can see why you are saying "you're number one!". An awesome wooden rocking horse? Hell's yes! That elf costume is the best and so age-appropriate. Adorbs. :)
The artwork picture definitely is a stark contrast to Lisa Frank. I would prefer it, but he looks a little under-weight. :P :) I do also remember the Lisa Frank stuff being a little more amateur-looking and maybe more "balloonish" in shape? I know I have some stickers put away in my old sticker book. I'll have to dig it out for my journal.
I've not seen the movie "The Last Unicorn". I should.
I don't know why, but when I have heard "The Last Unicorn" as a film, I think of the Tom Cruise film, "Legend".... I've seen neither.
But that's about the time period when I was dissuaded from too much make-believe. :(

I think I was probably just pointing at something. But thanks!

Ballonish is a good way to describe the old school Lisa Frank artwork I remember. I did a Google image search to see if I could find any examples and holy crap, there's a tarot deck!

"Legend" has unicorns in it, too. I remember one of my first crushes was Tom Cruise in that movie. "The Last Unicorn" is really beautiful! I do recommend watching them both! Oo, maybe you could have a Unicorn Movie Marathon night!

But that's about the time period when I was dissuaded from too much make-believe. :(

You said something like that in your previous comment, too. I'm so sorry you had to endure that. It really sucks. It reminds me of this Tori Amos quote from a Rolling Stone article from 1998:

"People can be so vicious toward the imaginary world, and it saddens me. You kill a lot of little people's dreams that way. You're no different from Hitler, as far as I'm concerned."
