Be Interested in Interesting Me!

[qos]

Following after saskia139, whose interesting list of interests includes theosis:

Scan my interest list and pick out the one that seems the most odd to you -- either because you don't know what it is or because you don't know why I would be interested in such a thing. And I'll try to explain myself...

And I'll add my own twist: when you post this in your own journal, include the interest you selected for the person in whose journal you found this.

What about "colliding galaxies"?

[qos.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh. . .

When I first started writing my secret fantasy saga, the justification for my traveling between worlds was that one day several galaxies were going to collide. I wrote this in spite of my awareness of the official statement that objects in space are traveling "out" from what we think is the center of the universe, and away from each other.

And then, sometime after my college years, to my utter, slack-jawed, stunned amazement, that some galaxies actually do collide:

"Colliding Galaxies" is not just a reference to my deepest personal myth, it is a metaphor for the mystery and wonder of the universe.
