on taste.

no matter how discerning, people tend to have flaws. i know i have mine: i like to stick things up my nose and i like really immature humour.

but unless people are mind-blowingly dull to begin with, there tends to be a definitive point of conversation where they deviate from everything cool and totally, completely, lose my respect. i swear everyone gets by so far and then they say one of three things.

1) "but harry potter has kids reading again!"

2) "i'm not religious, but i'm spiritual."

3) "i loved life of pi!"


note: some people have attributes that compensate for their respective statement. usually, it's enough to drive me away completely.
