Question of the Day

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

The question of the day struck a nerve.

questionoftheday asks: What is something everyone is "supposed" to love or enjoy, but you just don't? (question submitted by author_by_night)



My answer:

I recognize that many, many people, people I consider friends and care about greatly, have strong interests in things and I respect their interests and can to varying degrees listen to and sympathise when they talk about them. I am in no way disparaging any of these things.

But.

The things I myself don't have any interest in are LEGION. They include: pets & animals; home decorating, repair, and buying/selling; restaurants; video games; most films; most television shows, including all of reality TV; cooking; fashion & clothes; sports; the outdoors; history; gardening; and most music.

I know, I know. :/

Yes, I mean you have to have one common thing or else, you know, you can be friendly but I don't know that you'll be or continue to be that close. If you think about co-workers after you leave a job. If all you do is talk about old times, well, you probably won't be talking to them much any longer. Nothing harsh or acrimonious but, that's life.

TEA! Yes! There's always tea.

Aw. Well, it should come as no surprise I haven't been to a party in nearly a decade.
