Lack of Interests

[lillibet]

I've noticed the "interests meme" going around again and it always makes me think that I should add things to my list. And then I look at my list (fine dining, history, movies, reading aloud, science fiction, theatre, travel, wine, yoga) and think "yeah, that about covers it". But I'll grant you that it's not very specific. So, gentle readers, I'm taking suggestion: what should I add to my interests? I'm thinking "parenting," at the very least.

Figure skating? Good conversation? Event planning? You're not a crossword puzzle buff, are you?

Why add? Conciseness is good. Better quality than quantity. Etc. I'm thinking maybe I should make my list more focused.

Definitely parenting. Wellstar's suggestions also seem right. ISTR that you have an interest in counseling, but that might not be something you want on your interests list. Politics and current events? (Well, you're more interested than I am, anyway, but so are most rocks. :) Is there anything particular about travel that might warrant a separate entry? Museums come to mind. Walking?

Why do you think you need to add stuff to your interest list? Do you browse through LJ to find other people through your interests?

You could always add subsets from your list like specific foods, specific books, etc.

Parenting is always a good interest with a child in the house:)

Since I don't use interests to find folks, I mostly use it to identify stray LJ names I can't remember. So I look, I see they're interested in, "oh, theatre - oh! Right! they're so and so from that show!" That kind of thing.

So I would offer that it depends on what you use the interests for, or expect others to use them for?

That being said, I think your appreciate for cooking might be a nice addition. You are a good cook and seem to riff off other people's adventures in cooking as well.
