Carriages are cooler than flying cars

I realized I prefer the past to the future or present and I mean past as in centuries ago. I love history if you don't already know that. I can go on and bore you on my favourite time periods etc. I find the history of Europe particularly interesting (I don't think I'm the only one).

I enjoy reading the history of the British Monarchs, Native Americans, famous inventors and composers. I am so weird. I'm probably boring everyone on this post of history... Well just to share:


  1. My favourite time periods span from 16th to 19th Century.
  2. I like the Georgian and Victorian era.
  3. I like Queen Victoria.
  4. Classical and Romantic periods are my favourite.
  5. I dislike the Baroque Period.
  6. Beethoven is my favourite composer from the past.
  7. I dislike the 20th Century.
  8. I like the Native American history.
  9. I like to read up on epidemics particularly the bubonic plague aka Black Death. (It's scary)
I'm not the kind of person that would read up biographies of people but there are a few exceptions like Walt Disney and Albert Einstein. The rest I would just read up on their main background. Deaths are normally the ones that capture me the most. The ones with diseases are the most interesting... I'm creeping myself out now. Hahaha!

I also prefer reading books that are set in the Victorian Era than those sci-fi books where people stayed in space because Earth is dead or flying cars etc. Carriages are way cooler than flying cars in my opinion.

I like how people would host balls in the past than those modern parties of today. The past had so much more class than our modern world. But then again the past also had really unreasonable beliefs for example the oh-so-famous 'Sons are better than daughters' and the 'daughters should stay at home and cook while sons go out to work' saying. Those were ridiculous.

Even though I dislike the 20th Century mainly because of the world wars (really not a fan of wars), the 1950s was kinda cool. Can you imagine in Las Vegas where they had singers in bars singing those jazzy music? That was the life...
