Agree with me or Die!!!!!
It occurred to me today that I'm tired of interests. By that I mean I'm tired of people asking me if I like things in search of a common interest. And I'm tired of being made to feel like I suck because I like/dislike something someone else does or doesn't.
"Do you like Leonardo Dicaprio?"
"No I hate Leonardo Dicaprio"
"But he was so good in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape'!"
"I like 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape'."
"I hated 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' but I love Leonardo Dicaprio."
"I guess we can't have a conversation then"
"We just did."
What the fuck are we accomplishing? Do you really, truly care if I adore Reba McEntire? (Which I do, in fact, chew on that.) Do I truly care if you like watching paint dry? Yes, I do. But that doesn't mean that I have to like watching paint dry.
If I spent every second of my day trying to have as much in common with someone else as possible--I MAY eventually have 1/1000000th of an iota of a molecule of a fiber of my essence in common with them.
I like the sound of trains when I'm sleeping.
I hate the cold.
I sort of enjoy melba toast~ but not enough to wax ecstatic.
Getting my hair cut makes me happy.
I can't stand it when people touch my face.
I despise bad grammar.
I love having the back of my neck kissed.
I think feet are beautiful.
The smell of potpourri makes me nauseous.
I don't like pumpkin pie.
I love fiction, and hate instruction manuals.
My favorite color is blue next to yellow. I refuse to pick one.
I hate being held down forcibly.
I love being held down playfully.
Celine Dion frustrates me.
I adore films based on redemption.
I despise most films based on sick humor.
I love to amuse myself by miniaturizing words--for instance: monkey
I laugh hardest at things that don't make sense.
I cry hardest at insensitivity.
I would rather die than hear someone talk down to my mothers.
I'm glad I have no religious upbringing.
I'm fascinated by people who have and manage to not suck.
I love the smell of lighter fluid.
I hate talking on the telephone.
I would love to be a cello.
Really I could go on all day but I won't---because if you got the original point, you're probably not even reading this. But if you did--well bless yer heart, honey.
