I want to do whatever common people do

[j4]

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?

[huskyteer.livejournal.com]

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

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

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

[j4.livejournal.com]

I would add "infinite badgers"!

[huskyteer.livejournal.com]

Infinity badgers plus one!

[huskyteer.livejournal.com]

And no returns.

[j4.livejournal.com]

At least my dad's not gay!! (http://www.playgroundlaw.com/cgi-bin/browse.pl?sid=30)

[j4.livejournal.com]

Infinity badgers plus infinity!!

[verlaine.livejournal.com]

Infinite infinitely big badgers plus infinity!!

[j4.livejournal.com]

Infinite infinitely big badgers plus infinity squared!!!

[pseudomonas.livejournal.com]

Badgers of infinite size? I don't believe they exist!

[addedentry.livejournal.com]

There seem no badgers because it is all badger!

[j4.livejournal.com]

You have the badger nature.

[huskyteer.livejournal.com]

Oh, and you should seek out 'Badger in the Badlands' by Kenny Young & The Eggplants.

[j4.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure bopeepsheep has played it to me... but I can't remember much about it. My memory is like a, er, thingy.

[imc.livejournal.com]

We actually heard this performed live on Saturday evening. For some reason j4 declined to come with us. ;-)

But she'd have needed to book in advance anyway (as did we), as it was sold out when we arrived.

And Kenny wrote something about badgers while autographing the set-list that bopeepsheep swiped off the stage once they had abandoned it.

(Boo, don't have a badger icon.)

[rysmiel.livejournal.com]

Badgers Of Unusual Size ?

[pseudomonas.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[j4.livejournal.com]

"Infinite" is quite an unusual size for a badger.

[keirf.livejournal.com]

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

[j4.livejournal.com]

RTSL.

[setting-sun.livejournal.com]

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!

[j4.livejournal.com]

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...

[angua.livejournal.com]

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

[j4.livejournal.com]

Would've been funnier to actually do the pony-mutilation! :)

[setting-sun.livejournal.com]

I've put in a few things to annoy other people as well but I took them out because I didn't get any flailing comments about them. Bah.

[angua.livejournal.com]

At my birthday murder mystery thingie last night because it had a magic theme we cut a pony in half, in a box with stars on it and everything.. I guess that counts as mutilation :)

[angua.livejournal.com]

erm, not last night, last week.

[j4.livejournal.com]

It was your birthday last week?!

*looks dreadfully guilty*
I am suxx0r. :-(

Hope you had a really good birthday, and I'm sorry my birthday wishes are so late!

[angua.livejournal.com]

Thank you, it's OK. I didn't really tell anyone this year because I didn't want to make a fuss.

We had a murder mystery party and the next day I watched large amounts of films.

[imc.livejournal.com]

Greetings, fellow Libran. It seems you have the same birthday as bopeepsheep's mum.

[angua.livejournal.com]

I think I might have known that fact from many years ago... or I might be lying :)

Hurrah for being born at a good time of year!

[oichurchill.livejournal.com]

That's a cracking icon.

[setting-sun.livejournal.com]

Yours isn't too bad either! :) Credit must go to my fiancee, izzles though.

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

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?

* Sidles up and asks: "Er, are there many websites devoted to Victorian Erotica?" *

[j4.livejournal.com]

are there many websites devoted to Victorian Erotica?

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

[sparrowsion]

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