In What Are You A Muggle, Pray Tell?

[3894]

People like iPod cozies and you don't. You're an iPod cozy muggle. Quite possibly you're a Indiana Jones DLR attraction muggle. A Taylor Swift muggle. A Coke Zero muggle.

I am all of these things. Now it's your turn. Spill!

[Moonliner]

By that definition, I'm a Harry Potter Muggle.

[JWBear]

I'm a sports muggle.

[Disneyphile]

I'm a Twilight muggle. And, a text-messaging muggle. (I'll only do the latter when necessary.)

[Kevy Baby]

I'm a life muggle

[lashbear]

I am the ultimate sports muggle. I am also a car mechanics muggle.

[wolfy999]

I'm a football muggle during this time of the year.

Comic book and Super Hero Muggle

People like iPod cozies and you don't.

I have nothing to add since I am known far and wide for my slavish adherence to the mass taste in things.

But thought you might find this of interest (http://www.slate.com/id/2236780/).

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I'm a pajamas-in-public muggle, a cult-of-celebrity muggle, a soccer muggle.

I'd also add "seafood muggle" and I think that's the most appropriate, because I try and try to get into it and I just can't. (Maybe that makes me a seafood squib?)

[Strangler Lewis]

a soccer muggle.


Wait five years.

[Gemini Cricket]

I am a...

Electronics Doings Muggle

and a...

CSI Muggle

and a...

Dancing with the Stars Muggle...

There are more...

I have a friend who is such a dedicated Harry Potter fan (and active scribe of HP "chan' literature) that she might well describe herself as a muggle muggle.

[Disneyphile]

(and active scribe of HP "chan' literature)Is that what they're calling "fan fiction" now? Is it supposed to make it sound like it's more mature than coming from the minds of tweens and 30-year-olds living in their parents' basements? (No disrespect to your friend - I just can't stand the fan fiction "culture".)

[3894]

I just can't stand the fan fiction "culture"

A fan-fiction culture muggle, eh? I'm beginning to think I'm a facebook muggle.

If I understand correctly, chan specifically means that category of fan fiction featuring homosexual erotic content. My friend is a lesbian writer of erotica of all types and categories, but she got caught up in the whole Potter-mania thing, and, well, all of her friends roll their eyes when she brings it up. (No, none of us have read any of it.) Apparently, her stories focus more on the faculty at Hogwart's, and any student involvement is strictly with those who are of legal age. Hey, you gotta have standards!

Oh, I'm a total Facebook muggle. That's the latest version of my prior Myspace muggle and livejournal muggle status.

I thought that was called "slash".

You are right and I am hopelessly muddled.

Well, that's comforting, considering some excerpts I've seen before. Some of the stuff... holy cow! :eek:

I'm a Miley Cyrus muggle, and a MySpace muggle.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

BTW, is one still considered a muggle if one deliberately avoids a thing as opposed to just "not getting it"?

[Chernabog]

I'm a giney muggle!

[Kevy Baby]

I'm a giney muggle!Your loss: the giney is a wonderful thing!

[Jazzman]

Total Twilight muggle. Total...

No. A muggle neither avoids nor seeks that which he does not "get".

Total Twilight muggle. Total...

Yeah, not trying to rain on anyone's parade but that Edward is one pale creeper. He'd probably say the same thing about me, though.

[Chernabog]

Your loss: the giney is a wonderful thing!

I now have a decidedly more dirty version of "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" stuck in my head.

Re: FanFic

I read and attempt to write some for a couple shows. Usually stories are missing scenes, alternate realities or 'ships that should happen but don't/won't (same-sex pairings).

It's no different then writing short stories that don't have established canon or characters. It just has a pre-established storyline and characters to use. Some of it is better than the actual show writing.

JW is right. Slash is fan-fic featuring homosexual pairings.


-----------

As much as I try not to be, I am a baseball muggle. I'll go to games and enjoy them in person. But otherwise it's too slow.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Going with the more authentic "born without ability" sense of muggle - music.

[Alex]

Oh, in that sense of the word, I'm mostly a sympathy muggle.

[3894]

Math, here.

[BarTopDancer]

Math, music, programming (see math comment).

[Disneyphile]

Oh, in that sense of the word, I'm mostly a sympathy muggle.Right there with you. ;)

Yet, I do have sympathy for unforeseen tragedies like deathfo a loved one, loss of job, etc. But, I don't have sympathy for repeated patterns of self-inflicted drama. Maybe I'm a naivety muggle then?

You're a dramallama muggle

[Not Afraid]

I'm probably a muggle about way too many things to list.

"their tops are made out of rubbers"

[€uroMeinke]

Walmart Muggle - or is that just elitist?

[Not Afraid]

Yes, what IS the difference between an elitist and a muggle?
