LJ Interests meme results

1. bass guitar:
   The oft-maligned, misunderstood, redheaded stepchild of the rock & roll universe. I became interested in playing bass after seeing the video for "Cult Of Personality" by Living Colour. I thought Muzz Skillings looked so cool (their propensity for sporting Day-Glo clothing excepted. It was 1989 for fuck's sake.) I didn't start playing in earnest until the 11th grade, and then I was limited to playing the "Iron Man" riff over and over. Now, 12 years later, people actually want me to play bass on their records. Huh.
2. courvoisier:
   Started drinking it as a joke. Reverse slumming. Now I actually like it (in a brandy snifter with a floater of Grand Marnier).
3. evil pits of lions:
   Where most people should be thrown into. Ingeniously coined by murmur.
4. gute zeiten!:
   German for "good times!" I don't know that this phrase actually exists in German, though I imagine that if you said it, they'd know what you meant.
5. irish whiskey:
   Uisge beatha, aqua vitae, water of life, the lifeblood of my people. I prefer Bushmills to Jameson, a preference considered heretical in my nominally Catholic family. However, since Pernod at one point owned both distilleries, it's all French whiskey. Slainte!
6. mark ryden:
   I'm not a big art person, meaning I don't know the finer points of visual art the way I know them in music, or to a lesser extent, film. I just look at a given piece and go, "Gee, I like that" or "Ehh. Not so much." Mark Ryden is one of those artists that more often than not, I look at and go "I like that."
7. non-republicans:
   Republicans do not represent me. And I am allergic to them.
8. recovering catholics:
   A humorous way to describe what I am. Catholicism informed my upbringing, guilt being the fundament and the bedrock and the foundation of my early years. This is something I'm still fighting.
9. spelling:
   I'm good with words. Not great. Good. Same goes for spelling. I'm by no means perfect, but I'm above average. Correct spelling is important. As far as I know, there's no correlation between intelligence and spelling ability, but having the ability to spell well imparts the appearance of intelligence. This is not a bad thing.
10. thumpin' the bull fiddle:
    Bull fiddle being an old term for the upright bass, which I don't actually play very well at all, due mainly to lack of opportunity to practice on one. They're hard to play, man!
