[info]interimlover inspired me to do this little exercise

Things I do not see the appeal of:

1. obsessing about logic and strategy for games you don't even play
2. Being bored or experiencing a lack of passion
3. Being right all the time (you are doing it wrong)
4. Wearing adidas, jeans, and a t-shirt every day
5. Hanging out in a public park in the middle of a major city all day on a weekend day
6. Going to a dance club by yourself
7. Polyamory
8. furry cats
9. small dogs
10. stale coffee
11. reading only non-fiction
12. Putting stickers on your car or your laptop, or displaying logos or slogans
13. insecurity and demureness
14. elizabeth tyler
15. recent rap (after 2000)
16. libraries (a stamped 'finish by' date makes me nervous)
17. children
18. crowded bars where you are pushed up against and it smells like hops
19. waiting for a month after a movie opens to see it
20. facial hair
21. burning man
22. most drugs
23. regrets

What about you?

Am I wrong about any of these? Are you a devotee? Why?

Stuff from [info]interimlover's list that he doesn't like that I do:

02. Harry Potter (I sorta like the movies!)
03. musicals (I guess it's fun to experience the joy of being a huge dork and singing in public)
05. yelling at other cars that exhibit bad behavior or at the TV (I do yell at other cars, but mostly comments like "seriously?!" - it's a tension reliever)
09. perpetually full inboxes (you're doing it wrong) - (I'm definately doing it wrong. at #472 now)
13. video games that have no end (MMORPGS). This doesn't apply to arcade or puzzle games. (most open ended mmorpgs are rp social experiences that are always available when you want them)
22. obsessive documentation of vacations ( love taking lots of pictures and writing a lot of stuff down. I want to remember what happened later. I'm glad I still have the journals I wrote when I went to the north pole)
