Well, I obviously don't share the interest in art, although I am definitely interested in artists, which accounts for its popularity. Same for "drawing."
"Witchcraft," "mythology," "pagan," and "occult" are all examples of things I think I have adequately covered by what's already in my interest list, although I might add "mythology," as it's the least close to what I have listed.
I already have "shojo anime" in my interests, and as I'm not interested in blowin' stuff up and hurling Super-Saiyan fireballs across the screen, I don't really feel the need to add anime in general. It does mean, though, that it doesn't show up as a common interest with (for example)
memeslayer, which is an issue.
"Cats" is probably a function of the number of Pagans on my friends lists. I like cats, but I'm not fanatical about it, and ever since Miss Kitty died, I'm not owned by one, so it's not a large enough part of my life to list as an interest.
"Love" and "sex" are awfully general. There aren't too many people who aren't interested in those, right? Again, I have more specific aspects of these listed, like polyamory and sexuality, and I didn't feel the need to list the general.
"Computers," "movies," "philosophy," and "poetry" are all things that typical geeks are into, and as Queen Geek, most of my friends will like. I'm not a hacker, and not a visual person; I don't read Kant and Schopenhauer for fun; and I don't write poetry well, nor read it often, so while these are all things I enjoy, I didn't feel a need to list them over things that are closer to my center. I've debated adding "philosophy," but my interest in it is largely subsumed by interests in theology/thealogy/polytheology and worldreading.
"Chocolate" and "walking" - nope, sorry, wrong number.
"Nature" is true for me, but again, so general as to be almost meaningless. Do I have environmentalism on my interest list? If not, I probably ought to add it.
"Learning" I'm adding as soon as this posts. That definitely should be on there.
"History" and "literature" are the natural mates for "mathematics," and I am interested in them, but not enough to call them out.
