Thursday Thirteen #119 (Then and Now)

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 9:58 AM

It is amazing how our taste in things change the older we get.  I decided that I was going to list thirteen things that I liked when I was a teenager and thirteen things I like now.  Who knows, I might have not changed too much. :)

  1. Favorite Color ~ Purple / Blue
  2. Favorite Fast Food ~ McDonalds / Wendys
  3. Favorite Movie ~ “The Karate Kid” / “The Bourne Series”
  4. Favorite Actor ~ C. T. Howell (watching him now, I realize how horrible an actor he really was) / Will Smith.
  5. Favorite Food ~ Pizza / Pasta (any kind)
  6. Favorite Actress ~ Lea Thompson (she was a pretty bad actress too). / Rachel McAdams
  7. Favorite Book ~ The Outsiders / Harry Potter Series
  8. Favorite Activity ~ Amusement Parks / Sleep! :)
  9. Favorite Hobby ~ Reading / Reading
  10. Favorite Television Show ~ Growing Pains / House
  11. Favorite Candy Bar ~ Snickers / Peanut M&Ms
  12. Favorite Animal ~ Koalas / Koalas
  13. Favorite Little Boy ~ Timmy (an adorable, little boy I used to babysit, who is now twenty-four)! / MY SON, BRENDAN!! :)

  2. Isn’t it interesting to see how much (or little) we change over time? My hobby hasn’t changed too, and it’s the same as yours! ;-)
    My TT is about Luxembourg.

  6. Looks like you have quite few differences! I like this idea! Neat to see how you’ve changed over the years. Happy TT :)

  7. This is such a good idea - the Then and Now list.
    Wouldn’t it be fun to update it every ten years or so?
    And to start on for your son - maybe fill it in on his birthday?
    Love this TT!

  13. What a fun idea. Koalas are forever!

  14. Love your list, but I don’t think C. Thomas Howell and Lea Thompson are all that bad. It’s funny how taste change.

  18. Great idea! Mine would be a LOT different, lol. I didn’t like reading until I was a teenager, but I found some great books and that hooked me, and I’m still hooked.

  19. Isn’t it so funny how things change?? My favorite one was the fave activity being sleep…Coming from a sleep-deprived mom, I’d have to agree!! Happy t13!!

     Christy said this on July 24th, 2008 at 9:10 am

  20. Reading would be a constant in my list too. Happy TT.

  21. I think I would still say The Outsiders was better than Harry Potter, just my opinion maybe…Great TT idea, and thanks for stopping by mine.

  22. I thought “amusement parks/ sleep” was hilarious but oh so true. Parents of toddlers don’t seem to crave excitement the way they did just a few years earlier.

  23. This was a neat idea for a TT. I might have to use it one day.
    I loved C.T.Howell too, I don’t think he was that bad of an actor though. I would love to see him in something today. He was on some type of reality magic show not too long ago.

  24. #8 made me laugh. I think that happens to all of us as we get older. ;-)

    I will not tolerate anything bad being said about Lea Thompson. Ok, so maybe she really wasn’t very good.

  25. I so enjoyed your list. It is amazing how we change.

     Geriatric Nursing said this on July 26th, 2008 at 12:07 pm

  26. How fun! We have a ton in common. Purple, Will Smith, The Outsiders, Wendys, and on and on…

  27. This was a great idea for Thursday Thirteen. You always come through with something great.

  28. Newbie - I like that comparison! Maybe I should try that next week. Thanks for sharing.
    Cheers
