Show a girl a good time

Talk to me about goofy things you like to do. Stuff that's just fun or interests you.

I like to make themed song lists. I guess they'd be playlists if I ever took the time to actually track down the songs and group them together, but usually, I just do it in my head. The Break-Up Song List, The List of Songs in Which the Singer is Talking to a DJ, The Songs About Superman List. I also realized in making a List of Songs About Dysfunctional Relationships that 1) there are a TON of songs about dysfunctional relationships, and 2) most of my favorite songs are about dysfunctional relationships.

I also decipher vanity plates. Like, obsessively. I was behind a car that had plates reading YRHNGRZ, and I changed lanes for no reason other than to stay behind them until I figured out their plates. (if you're curious, it was "wire hangers," and I didn't notice the frame around the plate said "Mommy Dearest" until after I'd deciphered the plate.) I not only read them, I also list the cool ones I see in my cell phone, despite the fact that it's not really safe to type on my phone while I'm driving. Some of the cool license plates I've seen lately (as listed in my phone):

HYLANDR
G33KMOM
BADWORD
IMBATMN
CZ MATE
CPTNMAL
FREMEN
KAOS 00

So those are two silly things I do for fun: make themed song lists and decipher license plates. The fact that I admit to this in public probably says something about me. How about y'all?

Huh. I never thought about songs sung to a non-specific "you", but yeah. There are bunches of those. *ponders them all*

My husband is pretty adamant about having the album artwork on his ipod, too. He's a completionist in a lot of areas of his life, so it makes sense.

Thank goodness for online folks, because pretty much everyone I know IRL falls into the 'fanfic is goofy (or twisted or frivolous)" camp. *sighs*
