un-interest-ing

This morning when I was logging in to LJ, I noticed that the LJ opening page had the following:
The most popular interests on LiveJournal are:
music movies reading writing friends
I thought, that's silly, why would anyone list these as interests. Sure, everyone likes movies and music, and friends, and most people on LJ are self-selected readers and writers. Why not be more specific. Then curious, I looked at my own interests list and saw that I had indeed noted music, movies, reading, writing, & friends. I have removed these. Please note that this does not mean that I am no longer interested in music, movies, reading, writing, or friends. I still like all of these things. I onyl hope that music, movies, reading, writing, and friends don't take it personally, but I'm running out of space in my interests list, what with all the many things I have to tell you about my uniqueness through a list of (up to 150) nouns that are important to me, I haven't space in my interest list for things that really should be a given.

I am so totally taking this too seriously. ;)
