Michele (who currently has been laid low with mono – Feel better!! Yikes) has a discussion going on her blog<\/a>:<\/p>\n

What do you hate that (you believe) everyone else loves? What do you love that (you believe) everyone else hates?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read all the comments – they are awesome. People really coming clean, and freely, about what they love and hate, against the advice of the whole entire world.<\/p>\n

Here are some of mine:<\/p>\n

I hated Forrest Gump<\/i>. I was very gratified to see how many people over at Michele’s hated it too.<\/p>\n

I hate bananas.<\/p>\n

I hate licorice.<\/p>\n

I do not find Brad Pitt attractive (I stole that one from one of the comments over there – but it is so true – and it is a relief to admit it here)<\/p>\n

I do not give a shit about football. AT ALL. (Baseball is another story.)<\/p>\n

I do not get what the big deal is about Henry James. I read his books and think: SO WHAT???<\/p>\n

I love John Mayer.<\/p>\n

I love Julia Roberts. Think she’s a very talented actress.<\/p>\n

I love “The Real World” and I love “Road Rules”. (Mary-Ellis Bunim, Rest in Peace<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I loved Titanic. Thought it was a multi-million dollar art film. (SHUT UP, I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT)<\/p>\n

I loved Alanis Morrissette’s SECOND album. Very controversial of me, I know, but I think it was far superior to her first album which was a shriek-fest.<\/p>\n

I’m sure I will think of more to add to this list.<\/p>\n

Oh God, I just remembered right now, the #1 thing I HATE that everybody else on the planet LOVES:<\/p>\n

Cake.<\/p>\n

Here’s Bill McCabe’s list.<\/a> Let’s hear it for hating Forrest Gump! After reading all the comments at Michele’s, and Bill’s list, it makes me wonder: Who DID like that movie?? Don’t be afraid to admit it if you did – Please explain why in the comments. You will not be judged or scorned.<\/p>\n

Or – you will be judged or scorned if you say anything to me like, “YOU DON’T LIKE CAKE??”<\/p>\n

Birthday parties absolutely tormented me as a child for that very reason. It was a never-ending refrain.<\/p>\n

“YOU DON’T LIKE CAKE??”<\/p>\n

I go to baby showers now, with my adult friends, and I still get the same thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
