wishfulclickingSo I've been flaky with this meme so it's best that I just go ahead and answer the rest of the questions.
12. What do you consider the five most "telling" interests from the list on your profile? Why? // What do you consider the 10 most "telling" interests from the list on your profile? Why? || 13. Do you have any unique interests on your user profile? What are they? How'd they get there?
I haven't edited my changes since I created this journal May 2009; so my interests are a snapshot of where I was then, or more like how I was when I was really into having my interests represent what I'm into. But looking at what I currently have:
Five Most Unique (I Guess)
Telling: I used to be really into bandom. Now, not as much.
14. Did you have a gateway fandom? Still in it? Why or why not? Is there a community for it on DW? // What is your favourite subject to discuss on Dreamwidth?
Sailor Moon was my gateway fandom. One day I'm just super excited to use my new computer (ACER, what!) on this cool website the computer geek showed the class earlier that week (google!) and what better to search than my current obsession that made me wake up thirty minutes early for school and almost miss the bus daily? So I type in Sailor Moon and the fourth link had fanfic, ended up falling into fanfiction.net and other fansites and I never looked back. Back then most of the fic I read was in txt format and I was on dialup so I had to disconnect when my mother wanted to make phone calls. SM gave me femslash, lemons, mirror verse fics, destined love, reincarnation fic, massive AUs, and just the thrill of having something to read that wasn't already bound and went places that the books I had access to didn't.
Am I still in it? Not exactly. Sometimes I browse the ff.net section but I'm not active.
My favorite thing to discuss on DW is the shows I'm watching. Glee, Justified, Community, P&R, others. Reading others pov on things is always a pleasure.
15. What's your current obsession? What about it captures your imagination? //What 5 things are you obsessed with currently?
Nothing has me in its thrall right now.
What captures my imagination? On the good days, anything can; on the bad--nothing.
16. What are you glad you did but haven't really had a chance to post about?
I don't understand this question.
17. How many people on your reading list do you know IRL? None.
18. What don't you talk about here, either because it's too personal or because you don't have the energy?
My health: I spend enough time thinking about how I'm going to get through the day and optimizing the high points that I don't feel like posting about it often.
Family. I stay vague about this on purpose. Sometimes a post or two may creep up, but I consider this journal to be my space and I don't want to devote much to them here.
19. Any questions from the audience? // What are you most interested in reading?
Does anyone every answer this question?
20. Yes, but what are your thoughts on yaoi? //Any questions from the audience?
Yaoi? Well I was super into it when I first got into fandom, I still dabble, and with my growing love for Tiger & Bunny I feel a resurgence coming.

Five Most Unique (I Guess)
being ridiculous on the internet is still something I'm highly into. One of my primary objectives is fun fun and I consider a day worthwhile whenever something flashes across my screen that makes me grin. Sometimes it's a game, a cool fic, a vid, an artwork, a surprising post.
cheap books I will never have enough books. I will always hunt through stacks in thrift stores, used book stores, and library sales. Some of my favorite purchases: The Things They Carried (looked for that one for years), What I Loved, The Book Thief (soft and hard cover), Catch-22, others.
fics of random fandoms On random nights I find myself reading fics for fandoms I have no knowledge of, it doesn't have to be AUs either (though I have yet to find a mafia AU I won't at least check out). I started reading SPN way before I had even seen an episode, same with Harry Potter, Gossip Girl, Yuletide forever. Usually I scan some rec lists and if someone sells it hard enough then I'll give it a go.
finding all petes Fascination. Begrudgingly charmed. Frustration. These are things I often feel for Petes in all my fandoms. RPF and FPF. (Bandom, Mad Men, Fringe)
screwing up html always and forever
Telling: I used to be really into bandom. Now, not as much.
