Would other people consider you pretentious?
I like good wine, books that are not sold in the supermarket, NPR, blues and jazz, soccer, and I have an opinion on the Oxford Comma. Also, I like big words because English is a kickass language. Other people call this pretentious, I call it keepin' it real.

My question is do you have interests or traits that people may deem pretentious?

How can you have an opinion about the Oxford comma? Of course people should use it! No argument there! :P

3. For my friends, my wife and the Devil
I like trying to use it to create an ambiguous sentence. God, I'm such an asshole.

4. I concur.
The Oxford comma isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.

6. Absolutely. No question.
Many who are not part of, must destroy that which threatens them. George Bush is alive and well in the American people.

8. I'm interested in everything!
hehe

Some might find the topic I'm pondering at any given moment pretentious.

Some is less than more though.

More do indeed find the topics I'm pondering at any given moment proof to my insanity.

:crazy:

PS: today my mind is on the proper display of military flags...

(that and pizza)

9. Nope, not once they saw my studio.
In fact, I would hope they'd help me clean it up a little bit, ie, "Oh, poor, confused, dear artistic one. Let me help you pick this mess up!" :rofl:

11. Is saying I don't care what people think of me pretentious?
:)

I really have no idea if people do or not. If they find a black metal, godzilla, hockey loving guy pretentious I guess it's a burden I'll have to bear. ;)
