The Interests Box.

When finally collapsing under the peer pressure to have a myspace account (http://www.myspace.com/76372048) , I was forced to think about my interests. My, are they wide-ranging.

I wrote

"International politics, feminism, reading, running, rowing, shopping, fashion, make-up, backpacking holidays, history, Eastern Europe, ambling around doing nothing, education, sitting in coffee revolution, art (modern, mid 20thC), pretty things, looking at buildings, life - my own and other people's. "

It's all true. The truest of all, i think, is the last bit: "life - my own and other people" Even now, i can still think of things to put on that list, and it would possibly be never ending. I mean, surely having an obsessive interest in ensuring that no toothpaste is wasted counts as an interest? And, erm, more normal things like cooking. Ballet. Historical houses. Re-arranging my books. Drama. The reason i'm interested in so many things i think is because i'm naturally fastinated by life and people. But if i wrote "life" in the box, people would assume that i have no interests.
