Interesting...

I’ve always hated “interests” sections. Much more than “about me” sections. I think it’s the list thing. I’m always a little dubious as to what counts as an "interest” exactly. The pub? Pool? Well, it's a sport, isn't it? I remember in school I would always list tennis. Don’t worry, I’ve never played tennis in my life. But it’s a generic hobby I felt obliged to have in order to stop myself feeling inadequate.

These days I’m more honest with myself. Okay, I admit that including both “graphic design” AND “typography” on my profile is pushing it a bit (must pad it out), and I don’t really find “working out” all that interesting (just trying to stop myself getting fat) but, overall, this blog's interests section is the most honest I’ve ever been.

Some of the most amusing interests at other blogs:

– Chatting
– Encouraging friends
– Laughing
– Being a better person
– Breast-feeding
– Writing to death row inmates
– Text messaging

Actually, three of those interests came from the same blog; I'm sure you can figure out which ones. I know, I know, I’m in no position to mock, but “text messaging” — what?!
