Rural American
Internet communities

Being on line for a good part of my waking (and some sleeping) hours

and now-not so much. What have you done to me?!

serious crayons:
Me toux, Roux! I have that exact same list of things I previously wasn't interested in and now am. With the possible exception of horses (I was always mildly interested, though I didn't actually ride them -- allergic), rural America (sort of, in a romanticized way) and Annie Proulx.

Meanwhile, here are some things I used to have much more interest in, BBbMAB:

Other books
Other movies
Magazines
Other stuff online
Answering emails
Cleaning my house
Cooking dinner
Making sure my kids don't kill each other
Making a living
Everything

You are starting to scare me, Katherine  ;)
I've always liked horses, but am heavily allergic to them. When I was a child, I could not let my fingers off of them, whenever I saw one. Gave me bad allergic reactions every time and once led me to hospital.

I agree with many things on your list, but especially with this one. I thought of him as just a pretty face, a typical teenie heartthrob. Even when I actually was a teenager, I never was one for these pretty looking, shallowbrained types. Guess you get the picture where I pigeonholed him.

And I had not even heard the names of Jake or Annie Proulx. Now I'm reading her other Wyoming stories a second time (first time was in German) and truly admire her style.

MaineWriter:
I second everything on all those lists, the before and after.

In addition, if a year ago, someone had told me I would be a moderator for an online forum, I would have said, "What's that?"

If someone had told me I would be reading fanfiction, I would have said, "What's that?"

If someone had told me I would be writing fanfiction, I would have said, "You're nuts, right?"

PS...My favorite of all--someone, somewhere, once, posted that she cut her hair so she would have more time for all her bbm related activities. Since I have short hair, I can't claim that one, but man oh man, did I laugh...

southendmd:
RouxB, great thread!

Here's my addition:

If you told me a year ago that I would actually own  cowboy boots and a hat, I'd say, "Not on your effin' life".

Not to mention inviting 20 strangers (all lovely, it turned out) into my home to eat bbq??

And, all because I was on IMDb one day and said, "What's this forum thingie down the bottom?..."

Work be damned.

Love you guys,
Paul
