Things I Wish Part I

That networking sites listed "Favorite Poems" and "Favorite Plays." I feel so restricted trying to write only my "Favorite Books." So I'm not allowed to list my love of Ginsberg or Neruda or Colerdige or Keats or Shakespeare or Ibsen or Stoppard (oh god yes, Stoppard) or Williams? What about Simon and Marlowe and Oates? And musicals can be put there too because god knows how embarrassing it is for people to have Carousel or A Chorus Line listed as their favorite music. Or the other method of saying that Stephen Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Weber and Jason Robert Brown are your favorite musicians. It's wholly awkward trying to accomodate our interests to the pithy subheadings on social networking sites.
