I know what you mean. I have certain fads and phases that come and go. There are permanent things that I always return to like 2046, Chungking Express, certain books etc. Then there are momentary fads that vary in degrees of enthusiasm and fervour. It can get wearying to see the same sorts of posts popping up everywhere. I have two friends pages - one is my 'musings of others' that is the one LJ provides, the other is a list of comms and friends pages I want to read and so depending on my fervour for a particular fad of mine, I'll adjust my personal friends pages. More Dr Who, less Veronica Mars? More Supernatural, less something else? I've removed myself from most BSG lists already. I think it's natural that your likes change. It would be too exhausting to be 100% about everything 100% of the time :)
As to the World Cup, I don't even follow it but this year I am because it's the novelty of seeing it in a Beijing context - which is hilarious. Also, Australia's in it so when I'm far away from home, I become more patriotic. I'll probably write a lot about it on my journal but as with all things, the journal reflects whatever I'm enthusiastic about at the time and I figure that people will just skip over what they don't like or remove me if they are sick of it.

Your posts makes perfect sense to me :)
