Not my thing

[beetiger]

I was reading theferrett today, and came to a realization: I have never, never had any interest in going into a mosh pit. I love music, and I've been known to thrash around or go all tranced out and whirling dervish if it strikes me right -- but if I run into people while I'm doing that, it's not a feature.

Hell, I'm claustrophobic enough that when I was at a (not that crowded, honestly) standing only Ben Folds concert at Roseland, I was doing magic to increase the apparent size of my personal space, and having my girlfriend threaten anyone who got too close to me with her backpack.

What thing that some people you know seem to really like do you have zero interest in doing?

shut down

actively turn one's brain off for pleasure. Sitting vegetating in front of a television is the most frequent behavior. People who say, "Why would I want to do something that requires *thought*? Thinking is for work!"

I only know of one way to shut my brain off, and that is so completely altered a state that I can't do it for myself, and it doesn't last, and I'm still actively working on something, it's just not *my* something, it's someone else's.
