The interests meme

LJ Interests meme results

1. books:
   Books are my first memories, they were my first friends, and they're the first thing I miss when my life gets too busy.
2. cynicism:
   I find a mild amount of cynicism to be amusing and healthy. I find a large amount of cynicism to be paralzying sometimes, but it still seems a rational response to this world of ours.
3. gay rights:
   Gay rights are human rights. That's about all I have to say about that.
4. intellect:
   Intelligence attracts and fascinates me. Smart people, smart books, smart jokes, and one of my favorite things is to listen to people talking about stuff I don't understand, especially if they're passionate about it.
5. literature:
   I care about books, but I also care about what books (and other literature) mean in society, and the interaction between literature and culture.
6. naturism:
   I'm a nudist. I wear clothes when I have to, or when it makes sense for warmth or other functional reasons. I would prefer not to have to wear clothes in public, but I do because I don't like being arrested and stuff. Overnight visitors at my house are asked if it's a problem that I run around nude. If it is, I wear a robe, but I prefer not having to.
7. poems:
   I am a latecomer to poetry and the beauty of the written and spoken word. I wrote my first poem when I was thirty years old, and I have since discovered just how much music and meaning can be wrapped into verse.
8. recipes:
   I read recipes like they're porn. I never used to use them, but nowadays I do, and I like it. It's fun science geeking.
9. the bay area:
   My new home. *happysigh*
10. west wing:
    I love The West Wing. The first two seasons are, I think, the best television ever produced.
