The interests meme

[firecat]

via computerchix and just about everyone else:

Go browse through my list of interests and ask me about one that 1) you know nothing about but sounds intriguing or 2) you know something about but can't fathom why I would be interested in it.

Or ask me about an LJ community I read.

I've always had a problem with the concept of "intentional community," which is common in the poly communities I hang out in. The implications in my head about what the concept means and how it's put into practice leave me feeling trapped and judged. (Note: I think this is my own baggage, to a certain extent, and so I'm not trying to judge people who believe in it.)

I came up with the statement "I don't want an intentional community, I want an unintentional community" while watching Bagdad Cafe, which is one of my favorite movies, which is about unintentional community.

Unintentional community is a feeling of community that grows without your realizing it, rather than being consciously created.

Hey, that's the one I was going to ask about, too. I like the answer.
