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. :/

I always think that what I'm most interested in is just interesting people being interesting ^__^ The subject itself is relatively unimportant.

This sort of ties in with the recent trope listing meme. There are very few tropes I actively search for, and there are a lot I don't consider my sort of thing at all - but (barring a few definite squicks) there are always exceptions to every rule. In the end I just enjoy well-written, convincing stories.

Both are very mature outlooks.
