no one gets to tell me if I've lost or if I've won

Okay, I still haven't done the interest meme for Sarah, but since you're doing it, I want to do it more, and I'll do them at the same time. Just don't pick the ones she did. You can go to her journal and see, or you can just hope that you don't pick the same ones. I have a hundred interests. The odds that you pick the same five (or even one of the same five) are slim.
