based on a true story

I was browsing through lj profiles in the midst of a lunch hour's procrastination, and realized that while the interest list is fairly cool in its own right, it would be far cooler if each word linked to some entry explaining why the journal owner picked that particular interest. Why do you like french fries or idm or Yukio Mishima? Who's Guy Maddin and why does he interest you? There's a story behind that thing you have for the word 'spastic', isn't there?

So hey, I figured we could do a trade. If you see something on my interests list that piques your curiosity, ask and I'll either write an entry about it, or point you to a pre-existing entry that describes why it's there. In return, I get to ask you about one on your list. Oh, and if you don't have a livejournal, point me somewhere so I can get an idea of who you are (if I don't know you).
