h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Nearly every time I'm on hootoo I'm having a look at "Ask the h2g2 community" to see if there's a conversation that's interesting, something I can comment on etc. But it has struck my too sensitive mind frequently in the last weeks: Whenever I write something, along comes someone and says "That's rubbish." I mean I always like conversations about music, and films, and I know this is just a matter of opinion and I'm too sensitive really...But sometimes I just want to chat about "Oh, I like the style of clothes from H&M.." and I don't want to argue just now "But you surely know the appaling conditions of workers in H&M factories in Bangladesh" or something. I like debates, of course and if I want to argue about ideas and about anything really, hootoo is perfect. But wouldn't a place for being enthusiastic be nice? So that I could just say something freely, where I would normally post the -smiley afterwards? There was a conversation a little time ago "Songs you like despite knowing that you shouldn't" or something, and I liked that. Because I'm meeting more and more people who have these standarts: "This is acceptable and this is embarrassing- you should feel ashamed." And this annoyes me because I indeed start feeling ashamed and I don't dare mentioning that I like whatever, Paul McCartney's new album, or the TV show Gilmore Girls or whatever.
Maybe I'll create such a place where everybody can say what they fear is embarrassing, and no-one is telling that it's rubbish.
I'm taking this too seriously, am I?

Hi Susanne. I'm JEllen. I hang out a lot on Terri's and PC's and Manic Vixen's threads.

I agree that Askh2g2 can get rather self important! Don't worry, I like Paul McCartney too. Come join the h2g2 Beatles club while you are at it. When I post to Ask I just ignore the ones who take everything too seriously. I'll go dig up the Beatles link.

Here's the Beatles link A4199556.

Oh, I love Edward Hopper's paintings too. Ok if I add you to friends list?

Hey JEllen!

I love The Beatles...my fave is...I saw Her Standing There...nice twangy rock n' roll..yays..what's your fave?

Whoohoo! Should have posted this earlier
I'll be online in the evening again, then I'm gonna have a look at all the threads.
Thanks!

She was just seventeen, you know what I mean...
I once read that McCartney didn't want to use the rhyme seventeen-beauty queen, so he thought of this. Always gets me dancing round the room!

Now I now why the -smiley was invented! How long did you take for your personal space Professor?
