This Beautiful Invention Dates Back To 1840

This beautiful invention dates back to 1840

Adhd will have you too burnt out to eat or shower but give you the hubris to decide you can homebrew an entire d&d system on the back of a receipt

1, 5, and 9 for the music asks

who is the first artist you remember loving?

ok, i am kind of embarrassed by this one, but it makes sense for a grade school-junior high girl: Owl City (if you know his song fireflies, it was a semi-big hit for a while)

i think he is a decent artist, but mostly i can't listen to his stuff anymore partly bc of mild cringe feelings from that time in my life partly bc of some trauma as well ahaha

occasionally some of his stuff will get stuck in my head though and it's not always unwelcome so

5. which song always puts a smile on your face?

oo this one's hard...

top contenders maybe.. (in no particular order)

the sun and the rain by madness

roundabout by yes (on a kick with this one lately)

songs from souvenir by eric johnson (forever yours, i'm finding you, virginia)

from tones by EJ again (emerald eyes, bristol shore, victory)

songs on machine head by deep purple (the opening guitar on maybe i'm a leo!!, pictures of home, lazy)

---

9. which artist has been the most life changing for you?

augh another hard question!! you are asking all the hard ones lol

owl city is a strong contender for this one to probably if i'm being honest lol

but i really wanna say... maybe eric johnson?

like i've always loved his stuff growing up, but the start of my senior year of high school i just had an epiphany like,,, I too, could learn to play the guitar???? and play songs like him??? i mean obvs he's like a prodigy etc so i either will never play like him or won't be able to for like 30 years or whatever lol

but i think the inspiration that came to me from his music, to want to learn to play has been something special for me these last few years and i hope to continue to pursue my dream! (sounds corny but fr)

due to the amount of blogs i follow, the length of time i have had tumblr and the amount of fandoms i have been in, i really see a range of opinions on this over my dash so its time for a poll:

* please be nice to each other in the notes, this poll is purely for my own curiosity because i see such a varied range of opinions of her on this site and not because i want to cause drama!

** im well aware this poll will probably be biased because in my experience, once the swiftie side of tumblr gets a hold of a poll, thats when it gets the most reblogs, so if youre not a swiftie seeing this, please reblog to help get a bigger sample size (thats not to say swifties cant reblog this though, please do!!)

*** i wanted to add more categories cos i get that peoples opinions are more nuanced but im limited by the tumblr poll format lol, so if none of these fit, select the closest option and explain in the tags!
