shedding skins

deviHmm. I've just looked through my interests and realised they're out of date. There are things in there that really don't seem to be part of me any more. I think it's time they were pruned a bit.
So what will get the chop?
clairol no. 122: I haven't dyed my hair for nearly three years now. Gosh. Half my hair is brown now, and that's more than half a foot of hair.
ebm: though I still love a few of the bands, I haven't heard an EBM song I liked in quite a while now.
new model army and dream disciples: nor have I listened to either of these in absolutely ages, though I still think they're good.
*stands back and scrutinises the list* Can we say post-goth?
And there's ian mcewan, who gets the boot because I could never get to the end of 'Atonement', even though he messes up the nice post-goth pattern.
Could this be a meme? This is how it could work: choose five interests you'd be willing to get rid of, list them and tell us why. It would be interesting to see how people change.

Date: 2004-04-22 05:57 am (UTC)I wasn't expecting to find any interests I could ditch, partly because I look at the list every now and again, and partly because in one of my previous tweakings of it, I got rid of all specific names of authors or directors or singers (apart from Tori Amos). Nevertheless, I'm willing to ditch these:
Henry VIII still interested in a passive sort of way, but that's it.
Nail varnish I've found myself hardly wearing nail varnish at all since acquiring my engagement ring. It's not deliberate, and I've made a couple of attempts to get back into the habit of wearing it most of the time, but they keep failing.
Pirates was an interest I added in the first flush of excitement after watching Peter Pan (hah! You thought I was going to say Pirates of the Caribbean didn't you?)
Science fiction... well, being an SF fan is a fairly big part of the way I see myself, and I still am a fan. I just don't actually read the books any more...
