Liking bad guys in the new year.

I feel like I should say something for its being the end of the year, but I have little to say. I've cleaned stuff out in my apartment, which is incredibly satisfying. Actually, I almost bought this feng-sui book about getting rid of clutter, but wound up just flipping through it in the store. I think not buying is probably a better step towards reducing clutter than buying it to follow its instructions on losing clutter, particularly since I already knew all the reasons it was giving me for not throwing stuff out ("I'll keep it just in case..."). So my resolution is that I'm trying to get rid of something I don't need every day, even if it's just one small thing. I've been pretty good so far, but that's been part of the clean-out process.

One interesting question (or wanky thing) I've been seeing on my flist, is the one about liking villainous characters in a series. HP has always been a bit unique for me this way because usually I am more interested in the good guys, unless the protagonists are bad guys, I guess. I don't find evil more interesting in itself. I think I tend to go with an idea I read somewhere that said that evil usually lacks imagination. That's how LOTR works, basically. Sauron can not imagine that anyone would try to destroy the One Ring. Maybe in HP ( there's enough lack of imagination to go around. )

See, this is the problem with my having nothing to say. I ramble like a rambling thing.
