bearshortyI got more topics from three questions meme. Here is what I know about these topics:
Fromjenny_evergreen
1. anthropology/archaeology - In high school I did a program in a college where if you go every week and they tell us about various majors and once you finish that program you can take two college summer classes for free for credit. So the summer before my senior year of high school I took "Intro to Logic" and "Cultural Anthropology". A really loved the anthropology class. Cultural anthropology appeals to me just as social history does - I love learning about lives of people, their family structures and other things about people's lives. I still have my textbook somewhere which is outdated by now. I didn't study archaeology or been to digs but I do like to go to museums and see what archaeologists dug up. I do prefer anthropology though.
2. Fashion - I know very little about fashion and don't follow it at all. It seems a little silly to me. But because my father works as a computer programmer at a major fashion company, I actually have a lot of designer clothes to wear. He has a work discount and my Mom loves shopping. So she usually buys me something for my birthday or New Year. Which works for me since I don't like shopping for clothes. And also I do own a big coffee table book called "Fashion: The definitive history of costume and style" which I saw at an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art - it chronicles fashion through time through beautiful illustrations. For some reason I just really liked that book.
3. Hiphop - I know very little. In college I did a group paper of the rise of rap and hiphop for a linguistics class and it was one of the most fun projects I had to do in college. And i do listen to an occasional album. I just got Spiderman Into the Spiderverse soundtrack and it is a lot of fun. And, of course, I adore Hamilton. I just don't listen to big variety of it. Mostly because I don't like songs that are all about self aggrandizing or cursing or all about spending money or sleeping with women. I like hiphop songs that are clever, that are poetry, that are actually trying to say something.

1. Mount Rainier - I know it is a big mountain in Washington state and it is a volcano. That is about it.
2. 70's fashion - Ha, I think people got me pegged with my limited fashion knowledge. When I think of the 70s fashion it is all about hipsters and bell-bottoms and long hair. Tie-dye shirts and weird suits.
3. Cake baking - I have made several cakes now for my kids' birthdays. I think I'm getting some hang of it. I still need to figure out how much frosting I really need. I feel I usually make too little even when I follow the cookbook recipe. And one day I can venture more into decorating rather just picking up premade cookie sheets or using fruits. At least the cakes taste well and my kids like them so far. I would like to learn more though.
