Making obscure pop culture references to co-workers who don't have the slightest idea what I'm talking about, thus creating an awkward silence.Pretending to listen to people by nodding my head and smiling and/or laughing at the appropriate time.Staying indoors so as not to burn my ghostly pale skin.Granted, these aren't "interests" so much as things that I do often.
Thom Yorke--probably a really cranky, curt fellow....but what would you expect from a musical genius?John Lennon--to ask him if God has heard his song, "God", and what he thought of it. Also, is he still bitter towards McCartney?Jesus Christ--just to talk about politics and who his favorite band is. Does he like secular music? He seems like a pretty hep cat. Oh, and is he mad at Lennon for the "Jesus" comment?Oh, you meant on MySpace, didn't you? Um, I'd like to meet people who share all my ideologies and think exactly like I do. Conform!
