Lovelyish

lol. I’m not into any of the above either.
I find better things to waste my time on

…….Lovelyish…………*eye roll*

I’m not into most of these , but I find them understandable why people are into these popular interests or at least I’m not surprised by some psychological ideas for those interests. 

Totally agree with the video games and Lady Gaga ones!

To add to the list:

Mildly cute things that many girls just can’t stop squealing about. 

yeah, i think twilight is way overrated

I couldn’t agree more with #3!

I’d have to completely disagree with #1, though :p

I play video games but I can rarely sit in front of the TV for more than an hour at a time, which makes playing RPGs a bitch.

Does winged eyeliner count? I don’t want any hate…but…it’s totally not my thing.

Twitter, wedges, Victoria’s Secret, Katy Perry, coffee, zombies, Zooey Deschanel, Doctor Who, hipster glasses, nail polish, Oreo cookies, tabloids, magazines that might as well be tabloids, NASCAR, idiotic reality television shows like Jersey Shore, Magic: The Gathering, leggings, stupid animes like Naruto and Bleach, diet soda, artificial sweeteners, having children.

Hello Kitty. Jersey Shore. Probably a lot more.

I agree with all.

I like playing video games..but the rest. I don’t care for. 

I have a feeling you’re probably bad at video games. That’s the only reason I see for people not to like them…

For video games, I think it really depends on the game. I heard this one youtube person (charlieissocoollike) saying that there’s so many types of video games that it’s impossible to hate it all, and you’re bound to like one of them out of the billions there are.
Although I’ll admit that I don’t understand shooting games and final fantasy(besides the fact that the characters and graphics are cool…but I would never want to play it) and anything similar to it.

Other things I don’t understand:
heels, some of the fashion nowadays (like the shorts where the pockets stick out underneath), I also agree with #4, and watching most sports with some exceptions.

I have to point out you started at book 4 of Twilight. hahahahahaha. Sad that I know this, but I do like the books. The movies are abso-f*cking-lutely terrible, though. I like all of those things except number 4, but not to a cult-like status. I enjoy them sparingly but they never take up large chunks of my life. Except when I re-read the twilight series, but even then, I don’t obsess, I just like the books. Although I prefer HP much more. That is an obsession I understand completely.  

I disagree with number one, but everything else I understand. One trend I don’t get is the reality t.v. shows that are all about rich women trying and failing to get along with each other. Like the Desperate Housewive shows and a new show called Big Rich Texas.

I agree with #3.

Planking. You can’t forget about planking.

I disagree with the first two. 

ummm, Harry Potter is over hyped, never got into it.

video games are ok. the rest i AGREE.

I’m a gamer. I like to game because it’s a good “escape” from the stresses of life…. however I CAN’T be gaming for so many hours and so on.

I HATE The Secret Life of the American Teenager. It’s the most bullshit show in history.

I don’t understand how people can watch Jersey Shore and not want to shoot themselves.

I don’t understand hipsters. Most full of shit people out there.

Stick me in a room with a Zelda game, and I won’t come out for a few days. I spend SO many hours sitting in front of my computer playing League of Legends, it’s not even funny. So video games, I understand.

As for Lady Gaga, I like some of her songs but I too am not a little monster.
And I dislike teenage drama shows.

Oh and the Kardashians. I can’t respect anyone who adores a show about a group of spoiled whores. Says a lot about how pathetic a person is.

@bakayarodane@xanga - Yeah, that’s pretty much true. There are so many different types of games, it’s not hard to find something to like. 

And Charlieislikesocool is amazing  
Final Fantasy is an rpg, aka a role playing game. So it’s pretty much indepth with characters and stories, like most rpgs. But Charlieislikesocool is correct. There are different genres of gaming, different types of games, so it’s really hard to say just about one genre or just one particular series of games. Every game is different.  

I agree with all of these except video games.  My fiance and I can play Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance for hours on the PS2!  It’s actually one of the few RPGs on PS2 that doesn’t have a piece-of-shit camera.  Also, tactics games such as my all-time favorite Disgaea: Hour of Darkness are pretty awesome.

I totally get video games. I’m a graduate of video game theories and studies, even though I seldom play these days.

But the rest, yeah, I’ve no idea either.

Twilight is by far the dumbest thing that has ever been made.

I don’t understand Twilight or those shitty drama shows either. They’re just not relateable at all, even to most teenagers let alone most people.

I can understand why Gaga is popular even if her music has changed somewhat. It’s her image and what she is about in general that attracts many people. Almost everyone can relate to feeling left out at some point or another and people can also relate to wanting so badly to love themselves and rise above the people that try to bring them down. What I don’t understand is why people think her music has changed so much, and for the worst. In the begining, not gonna lie, her music was not personal at all and just crappy pop music. I still love it though. But her music has become more personal and that can be a huge hit or miss with the public. Plus I think it’s kind of psychological. When something changes we always tend to cling to the past of it. Even if it wasn’t all that great we trick our minds into believing it was. Just like people will always bitch about someone’s next album and say “Oh yeah the first album will always be the best” when it’s not always true at all.

And video games I can understand both sides of. My boyfriend is a gamer and when we first met it was very hard to get me to join him in playing. Not that it was always about what he wanted to do but we like to try to enjoy each others hobbies if we can. It took me awhile to find something I could connect with in video games. I like anything with stratgedy so I mostly play RPGs and I’m trying to understand how to play 2D fighter games now. The thing that made me not like them at first was especially just being shitty at them. But like with most things, practice makes perfect. Some people are just not into games though and that’s fine too.

I can’t stand that popular attitude of, the poorer you are, the harder your life is and the more you know about life. Please. We’re all alive. Our lives are all just as valid as the next person’s, and we all have problems. A rich girl’s boyfriend dumping her is just as sad to her as it would be to a poor girl. People from every walk of life can be inane and ridiculous and complain about stupid things. And just because a person is beautiful, doesn’t mean the world is handed to her on a platter.

@july37@xanga - LOL.  I wasn’t aware that planking was a trend.  I saw my husband looking at Big Al planking pictures and I thought it was just something weird UA fans did.
_________________________________________________________________________________
I am not in to the things you/the OP listed either unless you count the games on facebook as video games. I can see how people can be into all of these things because at some point in my life I was into something similar.  I agree with July37 about the planking even though I keep looking at pictures and going WTF? Why?

RAmen!!

I utterly dislike video games. It’s the worst and most pointless time waster ever. I think I’ve spent maybe 30 minutes playing video games in the last 10 years!

I agree with everything else also. Twilight?  BLECCHHH.

I agree with all of them!  Other things on my list include: tanning, Ke$ha (actually pretty much all top 40 “musicians” make me want to barf), Sex in the City, reality TV shows of any kind, especially the “Real Housewives” ones.  Who wants to sit around for an hour watching a bunch of rich, priveleged bitches complain about how much their lives suck and how they don’t know what they should spend thousands of dollars on this week?  Makes me sick.  I just want to punch them in the face and say “Donate it to a charity, you stupid fuck.”  Also: celebrity gossip magazines.  I don’t get that at all.

Yeah, I agree. Although I do like Lady Gaga. She’s got talent, which is rare these days in big music. I don’t really “get” her or think the crazy things she does are cool, but whatever. 

I don’t know if i live under a rock or what but i have yet to figure out what a hipster is.

Well… I don’t play a lot of video games. At all. I finally bought a wii over half a year ago and I’ve only played it three times (Hence why I made sure to buy a USED one for cheap lol). But think of it this way: How much time do you spend on your phone or computer? I can bet you’re either on it constantly or at least checking it constantly. Everyone spends way too much time with a cold, lifeless machine. 

Read the first book. It fucking sucked. Lets all focus on Harry Potter now. 

I am not a music person. As long as I can sing and/or dance I am good. It’s partially why I tend to not like rap. You can’t really sing or dance to rap properly. But Lady Gaga’s songs are ALL dance-worthy. You can’t tell me you can listen to her songs without moving your hips. I don’t like artists or musicians, I like the work. And the fact that she uses her popularity to stand up for social justice is a big plus. I’ve been saying for a while: Nicki Minaj is just a black version of Lady Gaga (with her outlandish outfits and catchy songs) but at least Gaga is doing something productive. 
I’ll admit: Im a trashy tv show junkie. I loved watching Flavor of Love because watching ghetto girls fight over some wrinkly ugly dude was the funniest thing ever. And then for a couple of years I was an avid watcher of Degrassi. It was a guilty pleasure though. Very few friends new I watched those shows and anyways I’ve already grown out of it. I tend to watch comedy sitcoms now. It’s just one of those guilty pleasures.

I agree 100% with all points. However I have been known to spend hours on end playing video games. I’m addicted to Oblivion and am excited for Skyrim. Although, it does not interfere with my life. I play it to pass the time, if I have to work really late I play Oblivion until it’s time. I hate Lady Gaga since the moment she “arrived” and also hate Twilight (or any other dumb Vampire romance “grossmance”). I will never get into the society TV shows. I’m more of Scrubs, Dead Like Me or Monk fan.

Good post. 

I agree with all of them except for video games

I love harry potter and twilight. Just a suggestion though, if you’re going to read a book in a series, it’s best to start with the first book, not the second or third (I think it was the third, by the way).

And 

Lady gaga is awesome! I definitely liked her in the beginning of her career (like two years ago) when she wasn’t as extremely with the outrageous-ness but still. She’s talented.

wait wat

Love my video games. I wish I had the time I used to. Honestly, unless it’s an addiction there is nothing wrong with playing hours of video games if you like. I sure as hell love my days off so I can do just that.

LOOK AT THAT LADY ON HER TWILIGHT BED IN HER TWILIGHT ROOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to make passionate love to her while cardboard Edward watches over. I love her.

I love video games. I like Twilight. I hate Gaga and the high society drama TV fad, especially the reality shows. However, I do enjoy the Secret Life of the American Teenager (for the story, not the acting).

Nothing is wrong with video games.. As long as you dont get addicted and play all the time.. Lady Gaga and Twilight.. Both stupid

Definitely would add Harry Potter to this list. It would be #1 for me.

@xsimplepleasuresx@xanga - Indeed. Harry Potter is quite possibly the most over-hyped book/movie series. The books told a decent story, but the writing was nothing special. The movies? Eh. Big whoop. As a kid, I used to read a great series by Diane Duane about wizardry, and I loved it. I like the way it’s portrayed in those books as opposed to HP. It wasn’t as childish as waving wands and shouting spells and flying on broomsticks and all that crap. 

@rholland89@xanga - Dead Like Me – I love that show! Sadly, it was short-lived, but I could re-watch the episodes over and over.

I was like that with twilight. But then I was like maybe I should continue on to see how people are so obsessed. Then I got to the middle and it wasn’t so bad. I read all 4 and watched the first movie. I guess I just wanted to have an imaginary boyfriend.

Agree with all of them. I do have a few favorite video games, but I play them leisurely, not like the world is going to end.

I agree with all except video games (they are my escape from stress, reality, etc..) so I play them whenever I get the chance (I can only play for a little while… I can no longer play them for a long time since this body is getting too old to do that anymore ;P)

I didn’t realize there was so much hate for video games.

I have to admit I’m a huge Twilight freak;) Video games, that would be my hubby. He used to play all the time, thankfully now it’s rare. I agree with Lady Gaga, to me she’s just weird. Her first album was fun and quirky but now it’s just a bit too much. And the teen shows, especially the pregnancy ones I just find annoying. 

I didn’t understand video games either….still I started playing them. LOL

I agree with 3 and 4,  and especially with 1. I like playing games at parties or for like an hour when I get really bored. I was married to someone who would sit and play video games for 8-12 hours a day (I’m not exaggerating) whenever he was off work.
I do love Twilight though. I read the first three books and I’ve seen all the movies. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a love story. I haven’t finished the 4th book yet, mostly because I was getting divorced when I started reading it and the last thing I wanted to hear about was a wedding lol Maybe I’ll finish it one of these days.

#1 i will disagree its great pass time and fun just as any hobby… your statement here needs to be more inclined towards being productive and setting priorities in life with better time management.
#2 my wife loves it… what can i say girls want to be swept away and get emotional :p
#3 Gaga is so old news.
#4 I rather be watching cartoons

I agree with this entire list. I thought I was the only person in the world to not like Lady Gaga… but I’m really not fond of her at all.

ITA with 2 & 3.  I am really REALLY over Lady Gaga.  However, video games don’t bother me much, and I have a secret addiction to Pretty Little Liars (though I recognize it’s not that great of a show).

I’ve followed gaga since “Just Dance”. the egg, meat dress & blue pubic hair was pretty strange. I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t like any of that. But things like that don’t bother me to the point of disliking her and saying she’s too bizarre. I just love her true talent, compassion and she’s extremely intelligent.  

Completely agree with everything. Bella whatever is such a whiny bitch.

But video games I can understand how people are addicted to them with all the leveling up and so forth.

“I can understand the desire to beat levels and conquer the game, but to the point where it interferes with real life?”

What you don’t understand (yea, that was intentional) is that there is this thing called a “middle ground”.  You think that it’s either “I hate video games” or “I spend every waking hour playing them and lost my job / SO and flunked out of school because of it”.  There’s plenty of room for treating it like every other hobby out there.  I love video games – but due to having responsibilities (full time job, graduate school, a social life, a girlfriend, etc) I rarely get a chance to play them.

i’m into video games…but not to the point where it interferes with my real life!

@Entr0py@xanga - True. Too much of anything is bad.

@britnirm - She does have a true talent, but she let it go to waste. I kind of think of her as a sell-out now.

@cHiCoLaTe@xanga - What, like Hello Kitty? 

Lmao I literally agree with EVERYTHING you just wrote. They are all of life’s mysteries to me haha.

Video games are awesome. DOn’t hate.

Harry Potter was definitely better then Twilight in my opinion, and not just for the writing. From everything I have come to know from both book series, Harry Potter is about Conquering your fears and facing your enemies, courage in the face of adversary and all that. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.

This list is very good, the only exception being video games, I love them but I can understand why it’s just not for everyone. I’d also like to say facebook would be one of the topmost things for me, it’s probably the biggest thing on the internet after google, and I have never understood the pull to it.

I can relate to all these things. As a gamer, though, I see your point of view on video games. I don’t like playing sport games at all, yet there’s tournaments for just that kind of thing. The games I play are stuff you CAN’T do in real life, so, yeah, I don’t know why someone would play hours of something you can actually do in real life.

1) Well, it’s like anything any one else gets obsessed over. My brother loves video games and will play all day if he was allowed to. It’s very similar to my love of reading. Or my friend’s love of playing his guitar. Plus it’s a good escape. I don’t obsess over it (even when I’m at a part that is frustrating and makes me want to beat I still can’t play for more than a couple hours at a time) but when I’m bored and my glasses aren’t agreeing with reading or if I’m incredibly stressed out, video games are a nice escape.

2) Ha it was a nice book to escape to during school and before everyone and their mother started talking about it. Before MTV got a hold of it, it was nice. But I don’t get the obsession either. That room is just insane. I guess it goes back to what I said in 1. And you started on the last one, which many count as the worst one….I’m so sorry you were introduced that way.3) For the longest time I thought I was the only one who thought this way!! I like some songs but that’s it. Everyone I knew outside of my family looked at me like I was crazy.4) Secret Life of the American Teenager…my brother swears it’s an amazing show. I love drama and shows like Pretty Little Liars but I could barely get through the first season. And each episode I’ve seen some of since then has just been worse. And now it’s taken the place of Gilmore Girls on ABC Family despite them being in the middle of the new season…why?

i agree with everything but video games and twilight. you can’t just begin reading the series with the last book! but i definitely believe the harry potter series were written better and are way more intoxicating.
video games are a beautiful time wasting idea. and consoles are beautiful time wasting machines that make these ideas real. i love sitting back and shooting droids in star wars battlefront, or taking it to a different level, creating lives in the sims 3. it’s mindless, but some mindless things can be completely enjoyable, and most certainly relaxing!

the twilight picture: LOL WHAT THE FUCK MAN

Like some others on here, Jersey Shore. I can’t stand it. And I’m a teenager. Same with all other reality shows where you don’t have to have any talent. Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj (However you spell it), etc.

@methodElevated@xanga - Wow you don’t really like a lot of things  I can accept most of them, but don’t hate on Doctor Who! Doctor Who is amazing!! thats all

I’m not really into any of the things you mentioned so I won’t defend them.  I really didn’t care for the Twilight movies (and haven’t read the books).  All I could see was Bella acting like a little lost puppy, that she cannot live without Edward.  Now, many people see that as romantic, but I guess being the practical person I am, I saw it as her being a little sick in the head.  I mean, she’s a teen, for goodness sake your first relationship might not be the one you marry!

Things I don’t understand: Hipster lifestyle.  “Reality” shows like Housewives of… or Jersey Shore, or dating shows like The Bachelor.  Wearing fuzzy boots with miniskirt or shorts. (Is it winter or summer?  I’m confused.)  People who are famous for no apparent reason.  There’s more, but this is all I can come up with off the top of my head.

Video games are okay; I would add Harry Potter to #2 though. Add Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj to #3. And add Jersey Shore to #4! Maybe I’m being too cynical though.

I agree with 2 and 4.  Twilight? Boo.  Angsty teen dramas? Boo.  I do loves me some video games though, and Mother Monster is the best. 

I don’t get the hype over reality television. I like Lady Gaga, but that blue pubic hair is just… ew. As for Twilight, I don’t like it either, but I do like the book covers!

“Shut up and give me Hermione Granger, kthnx.”

HAHAHAHA! i totally feel ya. HARRY POTTER FTW.

now to be fair, i honestly think the books are wonderful. as for the movies, they were made too quickly on what seems to be a low budget, and robert pattinson & kristin stewart made a HORRIBLE edward & bella. they could have done a wayyyyy better job on this.
