I Keep My Friends Around So I Have Someone To Talk To

There is a community of bloggers who, despite differences, have a few things in common. I wonder what it says about us. Perusing the profiles of people who often visit or just remain lurking on my blogroll brought up several similarities.

For example, my favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird. I enjoyed it in school and now, as an adult, I absolutely relish it. Every chapter is a gift and the movie version is one of the best book-to-film adaptations ever. Apparently I could start a book club with Chase, Kleo, or McG.

The Big Lebowski is more fun than most movies. The perfect anecdote to a crappy day. Ami would watch it with me. Right?

The Beastie Boys are the best. Period. End of story. Other fans include Bob, Gax, John, Brett, and Joel.

There are more similarities, I'm sure - whether we're talking about the same wacky sense of humor, penchant for politics, or appreciation for kinky contraptions. All this commonality feels good. I mean, I had no idea someone else out there admired both The B-Boys and Harper Lee. Who knew?
