I want to do whatever common people do
From common places to common interests. I'm disappointed that this colourful exercise in self-classification doesn't distinguish between "rare" and "unique", but I can't quite be bothered to doctor it accordingly...

Also, there are things in my interests list that I should take out... but that's really scraping the displacement-activities barrel.

I like the way that 2 people have "more badgers" but only you are hardcore enough to have "yet more badgers".

I am tempted to escalate the situation by adding "even more badgers than that" as an interest. What would you do THEN?

Similarly, nine people list 'mature cheddar' but only I demand 'extra mature cheddar'.

Lightweight! I always seek Anchor Special Reserve cheddar, or failing that then Vintage at the very least.

Interesting. How did you add 'repetition, repetition' to your interest list?

It's nice to know that if I need any My Little Pony figures mutilated that there are 4 other people I can call upon if you're not around!

That was one of the ones I was going to take out, actually, since it's not really something I'm interested in - it was only put there in a moment of childish bitchiness to annoy a My Little Pony obsessive...

You have to admit, it was funny (and childish) at the time :)

Hmmm... Well I did the meme myself and wondered: would lots of idiosyncratic interests mark me out as boring (as opposed to being marked, nay branded by my pinstripe suit and conversational abilities). I mean, how interesting is it to be interested in things that no-one else is interested in?

are there many websites devoted to Victorian Erotica?

Probably thousands, but I'm not about to google for them at work!

I don't know what it says about the denizens of LJ that BDSM is considered "common".

Where the dance is
Sometimes in life you've got to dance like nobody's watching. This is the dancefloor.

No, I don't know this song either. But it's got a good beat, and I've got my dancing shoes.
