RE: (TV) Listophobia

I love lists: 

*	because arbitrary sorting systems result in surprising
juxtapositions
*	because there are always gaps to fill in
*	because they are disposable 
*	because I'll never figure out why vaseline and bagels appear
together on my shopping list, e.g. 

My subscription list: The Believer, McSweeny's Quarterly, Make, and
Ready-Made

I hate lists.  I had three music magazine subscriptions (school kids were
selling them as opposed to chocalates, etc, we had lots of magazines coming
in, the postman hated us) last year and they were all (insert expletive)
lists, best albums, best re-issues, best mag covers, best singles, best new
bands, best lists of lists.  Rolling Stone was the absolute worst offender
last year, I have no idea what
they are up to this year.   The non-music magazines
had lots of lists to, best beaches, best vacation spots, best gear (weight,
climbing, bikes, etc), best mountains to climb, best teams of the century,
best boards, best clothes, bleghhh!

My magazine subscriptions reflect my highschool career apptitude test which
came out as musician/writer/adventurer.  It forgot 'likes to eat and
carelessly spend lots of money' so none of those careers worked out.

What were your apptitudes, did they come true?
