interests

One of the delights I've discovered while setting this thing up is that, on the User Profile page, where you're asked to list your interests you're allowed a maximum of four words per interest.

This I was told by the software after I'd spent some while constructing a list of all my interests (the various types of fiction and nonfiction I both read and write, the areas of nonfiction writing in which I have some measure of expertise, the types of music I enjoy and dislike, and so forth).

I therefore tried to buck the system by converting my slaved-over list into tabular form, with no line of the table exceeding four words.

Success!

Only then I discovered that LiveJournal's natty software had arranged all the lines of the table into alphabetical order, beginning with "(especially animation and film".

Until I calm down a little, I have but a single interest listed on my profile page:

Thanks for the reassurance!

(The reason for this somewhat vacuous response to your kindly comment is that replying to comments is so far the only way I've found to unscreen them. I have, however, now managed to switch off the screening facility wot I never turned on in the first place ... At least, I *think* I've got it switched off.

Is this wise? Will a million rabid Ann Coulter fans -- each with an adam's apple more polished than the last, each with that crazy gleam of numb stupidity and fervent hatred in their eyes, each seeking a stake to tie some innocent to -- descend upon my humble blog and begin swilling their poison around in the comments section? Only time will tell ...)

A million Ann Coulter fans? You should be so lucky...
