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:

"That's what happens when you invoke the dread name of A**e C*****r."

Who could you mean? At a glance I thought you meant Ann Coulter, but the first name ("A**e") doesn't work -- indeed, it's pretty obvious what that first word is supposed to be. As for the second ...?

I did mean Ann Coulter; I forgot there wasn't an `e' in her name.

"I did mean Ann Coulter"

I guessed as much, bwana.
