Commentary

There seem to be two main threads here, Judaism and SCA, with some minor inputs elsewhere. Surprisingly, music does not make an appearance.

Redundant: bmdl, shabbos.

Ones they got right and I should probably add: medieval cookery, orthodox judaism (I'm interested even if that's not how I identify).

Yeah I'm interested, but I'm not sure about elevating to a listed interest: g-d, tanach, medieval reenactment, shul.

Not particularly interested: garb, zohar, judaica, yiddishkeit, zionism, jerusalem.

Definitely not interested: yiddish, atenveldt, heraldry.

Not a well-formed interest: jew.

Huh? #10.

AI is still no match for an informed human: shadyside.

Okay, the beginning and end are lost; they got converted into non-ISO8859/1 characters, which is why they won't convert back properly. You'll have to find whoever has that interest and ask them what it was originally.

And it looks like LJ isn't handling it right even in its current form; I get "interest not found". Bleh.

Thanks for giving it a shot!

Got it; I started poking around your friends list. Pretty obvious once it's complete: ישראל

Aha. Yeah, that makes sense. :-) Thanks.
