LJ Interests meme results

1. bread products:
   I like bready things. I have been eating them less lately, because I heard from this guy that they make you fat. I guess this should really be "baked goods," but I thought it was funnier this way. I try to eat whole wheat junk whenever I can, but sometimes it makes the bread have a really weird texture or taste. I like donuts!
2. cheez-its:
   Cheez-Its are great. I am eating some right now. They are a million times better than Cheese Nips or any other artificially-flavored cheese-like product.
3. drunkenness:
   This is a fairly new interest for me. There was a time when I had no interest in drunkenness, but now it is one of my favorite activities. I still don't understand why people drink when they are depressed, but that hasn't stopped me from doing it a couple of times.
4. frisbee:
   Yeah. I used to play "Ultimate" in high school, but I never got as into it as some of my friends. Probably because I was never very good at it, and most frisbee players take themselves very seriously. If you are a high school or older American male and you can not throw, catch, jump, and run skillfully, you should not even bother, because you are a nerd and a jerk.
5. intercoms:
   I always wanted to have an intercom in my house. I also wanted a secret elevator installed in the unused chimney that ran through one wall of my bedroom. That way, I could plaster over the door, and no one would be able to get into my room without the secret elevator code.
   
   I was always so jealous of the Taylor family on "Home Improvement" for having an intercom in their house, and I was always glad when it played a prominent role in the story.
6. kenzaburo oe:
   I wish I could read Japanese. But, even so, I think the translations of Kenzaburo Oe's books are faithful to his style and engaging in their own right. I discovered this man in high school; I was writing a report of Japanese literature for my Asia class, and I kind of left it until the last minute. I was doing all this research over one weekend, and Kenzaburo Oe's name kept coming up, so I decided to write the report on him instead, and I got an A. Hooray!
7. my brothers:
   Ahh...my brothers. Yeah. Pat and Adam. Those are their names.
8. pantslessness:
   One time, I lost my pants in a fight with four tigers and water clown, but fortunately I had seven pairs of boxers on underneath. I had to give one to Mr. Gorman, my old gym teacher, so he wouldn't get a sunburn while we built a scale model of the top half of Mt. Everest out of pipe cleaners. And then he started punching me, and I was like, "Don't lie, Mr. Gorman. I know those are my boxers."
   
   Anyway, it ended up with me teaching a class on phone sex techniques, if you can believe that.
9. skiing:
   That's ski-ing. Not sky-ing. Though I like that, too.
10. the living sea:
    This is my brother Adam's band. They used to be called Valley, which is a reference to The Uncanny Valley, the theory that as robots become more human-like, the more humans will be sympathetic towards them, until the point where they become so human-like that people can only notice the eerie differences, instead of the cute similarities. On a graph, the range in which robots look almost, but not quite, like humans shows their sympathy dropping significantly. This drop is known as the Uncanny Valley. Presumably, if robots appeared identical to humans, the sympathy level would go back up.
    
    The Living Sea is the name of a ride at the Epcot Center at Disney World.
    
    Anyway, my brother's band is awesome. But don't take MY word for it! Or do. But, either way, go listen to them at http://www.myspace.com/thelivingsea.
