Attempted Meme-smithing: three years and $500 if convicted.

So, the other day, I was talking with my friend Eileen and I sumbled over to her Userinfo page -- and I was shocked by all the bolded interests, meaning that they were shared between us. In fact, I don't think anyone I know shares as many (lj-professed) interests as she does.

But it got me thinking, "how many interests DO I share with people." It's an interesting though, especially if you consider what differences you might find between RL-friends and net-friends. So, I thought I'd make a little poll-thing of it.

Step One: Go to my Userinfo and list all the Interests that we share.
Step Two: Pick an Interest (or three) from my list that you're surprised to see there, considering how you know me.
Step Three: Pick an Interest (or three) from my list that we don't share, but that you might want to hear more about.
Step Four: Pick an Interest (or three) from your list that we don't share, but that you think I might find, well, interesting.

And hey, if you want to yoink this and spread it around your own circles of friends, go ahead; I won't say you have to, though. Unless you're [livejournal.com profile] raen. She has to.

Okay, I'll bite.

1. Abnormal psychology, androgyny, etymology, geeks, jhonen vasquez, jim infantino, linguistics, philosophy, placebo, sophistication, sushi, writing. (and we do share other interests...they simply don't fit on my list)

2. Androgyny and multiple personality disorder are the only ones that semi-boggle me.

3. Apologetics, Kabbalah

4. Androgynes and elitist bitchery. :3

You sir, are a weiner. And not just any weiner.. an oscar mayer weiner...

Step One: Logic. (Well, at least it's that which we have in common, heh.)
Step Two: I don't know you well enough but I am wondering who jhonen vasquez is.
Step Three: Multiple Personality Disorder, demonology and astrology.
Step Four: You've already mentioned the ones you found interesting before and questioned me on them. I didn't give you an answer because I suck ;)
