1. A selection of television programs you do not care for.
Jersey Shore, The Hills, Big Brother, Survivor, CSI & CSI: NY

2. A selection of musical artists you do not care for.
Pink Floyd, Metallica, Nickelback, Nirvana, Bob Dylan, a lot of Blondies newer and some of their older stuff. Not my style. (Not to say I don't appreciate all these group's talents, I just don't care for them. Except Nickelback.)

3. A selection of celebrities you couldn’t care less about.
Madonna, Lindsey Lohan, I don't really know.

4. A hobby you “don’t get”.

14. A hobby you have/find interesting that other people bother you over/make fun of.
I used to Dance for a church youth group and got made fun of for it.. we did Easter plays. It wasn't cool cause it was 'religious' and 'weird bible music.' But it was actually really uplifting.

15. A habit you have that other people bug you over.


16. Something in school you hating doing and it felt like everyone else loved.

1. A selection of television programs you do not care for.
Any type of reality show (Survivor, etc)... Any of the shows that have made popular people like the Kardashians, etc. CSI, Criminal Minds, and shows like Bones also make me feel dumber for having watched them.

2. A selection of musical artists you do not care for.
Bjork, John Mayer, Nirvana, Christina Aguilera (her voice literally makes me irritable), Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Adele (gasp!), Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen. I know it's cool to like some of these artists, but it's just not in me.

3. A selection of celebrities you couldn’t care less about.
Pretty much all of them... I don't have time to worry about the over-privileged and their "suffering"

4. A hobby you “don’t get”.
I've seen people collect weird stuff like beer cans or liquor bottles. It just seems semi-strange to me to collect something that doesn't retain value (like comics for example). As far as hobbies go... I guess I can't think of anything particularly disturbing to me. We're all different... we like what we like to do eh?

5. A habit you find disgusting.
Smoking, teeth sucking (like when people get food stuck in their teeth)

6. Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else bitched over.
Chemistry

7. Your favorite household chore.
Vacuuming I guess?

8. Popular video games that make you go “meh”.
Halo, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto

9. PC or MAC?
Mac

10. A sport you don’t like, for whatever reason.
All of them. I don't give two hoots about sports. I had a conversation with some guys about sports and offended a co-worker so bad that he wouldnt speak to me after that... I jokingly said sports were the lowest form of human entertainment. The guy lost it and of course I stuck my foot further in my mouth.

11. A sport you really like, for whatever reason.
I enjoy watching rugby and soccer, as long as i'm physically at the game. The environment of a live crowd is fun... but I'm not focused on understanding the rules or actually following what's happening.

12. Television programs you love but have gotten **** for liking.
Maybe "The L Word"? I saw the first two seasons of that and was intrigued. Haven't followed it since.

13. Musical artists you love but have gotten **** for liking.
fleetwood mac, u2, queen, stevie nicks, bryan adams

14. A hobby you have/find interesting that other people bother you over/make fun of.
Among other things, I collect Smurfs. That always gets people laughing, or giving me the crook eye.

15. A habit you have that other people bug you over.
I bite the fingernails on my left hand. I know it's gross but I can't seem to tame it.

16. Something in school you hating doing and it felt like everyone else loved.
Gym... though I wasn't overweight or a chubby kid. I was just disinterested. I was always the guy going "It's JUST a game" which only served to piss off the jocks further.

17. The household chore that makes you want to shoot your own face off.
Dishes

18. A selection of video games that you enjoy that perhaps you really shouldn’t.
I can't think of any really "terrible" video games that I like. I still like the classics like Tetris and Pac-Man. Mario Kart and any of the Zelda games are also enjoyablez

19. A celebrity crush that maybe even you don’t understand.
Jeanne Tripplehorn
Susan Sarandon
Valerie Bertinelli

20. Free rant on whatever grinds your gears at the moment.
I'm really let down and discouraged by going to a job interview and then not hearing back from people in a timely manner. You know, if you interview me... it means somewhere, somehow, was something that piqued your interest. I'm an adult and I can handle an explanation as to why you aren't hiring me, or that you gave the job to someone else. But when I'm ignored, and then I'm the one that has to call you for a follow up? Hmpf. It's discouraging for me and unprofessional on their part.

1. A selection of television programs you do not care for.
Reality TV shows, Housewives, Jersey Shore, etc.

2. A selection of musical artists you do not care for.
I don't really like most new music. I know I am getting old!

3. A selection of celebrities you couldn’t care less about.
I am actually quite fascinated with most celebrities. I read a few celeb gossip blogs almost daily.

4. A hobby you “don’t get”.
I've never really given this much thought. I just googled "Odd Hobbies" and I can say that I think playing dead is something I don't really "get."

5. A habit you find disgusting.
Well, smoking (now that I am a reformed smoker).


6. Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else bitched over.
In college and graduate school, I usually got really into class discussions. I had to tone it down in the last 15 minutes of class though, or my classmates would get mad at me!

7. Your favorite household chore.
I really enjoy organizing things; closets, cabinets, etc. I also love to rearrange furniture, which drives everyone nuts.

8. Popular video games that make you go “meh”.
All of them- I don't play.

9. PC or MAC?
PC....not against owning a Mac, but a PC is what I have.

10. A sport you don’t like, for whatever reason.
I am so not a sports fan, so this is easy to answer. Pretty much all sports are boring to me.

11. A sport you really like, for whatever reason.
I have been to a few hockey games with friends and enjoyed them. Made me realize I'm not a peaceful as I like to think I am.

12. Television programs you love but have gotten **** for liking.
American Idol.

13. Musical artists you love but have gotten **** for liking.
Definitely Stevie.

14. A hobby you have/find interesting that other people bother you over/make fun of.
Not sure about this one. I love to go to thrift stores. LOVE. I don't really get made fun of it, though.

15. A habit you have that other people bug you over.
[Totally stealing this one from holidayroad- describes me to a T!] I like for things to be cleaned and straightened up. I'm not obsessive, but I firmly believe you should leave the condition of a room as good or better than you found it. Add on the furniture rearranging here.


16. Something in school you hating doing and it felt like everyone else loved.
Definitely gym Hated every moment of it.

17. The household chore that makes you want to shoot your own face off.
I really hate the whole "shoot me in the face" saying! Anyway, I also really hate putting away clean laundry. I will sort, wash, dry, and fold with no problem.

18. A selection of video games that you enjoy that perhaps you really shouldn’t.
Maybe Bejeweled on Facebook?

19. A celebrity crush that maybe even you don’t understand.
Tommy Lee. I kind of understand it, though.


20. Free rant on whatever grinds your gears at the moment.
I don't really have anything pressing right now. One thing that does bother me a lot is when people are incompetent AND have an attitude. It's one thing to be bad at your job, but I can forgive most anything if a person is humble or nice.

Human society. The whole premise of our existance is messed up. We, as a species, especially in America, place more value in work and money than any other aspect of life. It's sad and sort of sick. Some day our Sun is going to run out of hydrogen and burn our world up to a cinder, and everything we've built, dreamed, written and produced will become stardust. With that in mind, why do we live our lives in misery, obsessed over money when there is more than enough for the whole world to live comfortably in happiness? Don't think about this for too long - it only leads to depression and malcontent.

1. A selection of television programs you do not care for.
MOST Reality Shows...especially the "Pawn Stars", "Storage Wars", etc, types...and any show that features someone with the last name Kardashian or Lohan or goombahs from NJ. Toss "Survivor" & "Amazing Race" in there...all those stupid singing shows..."American Idol", "X-Factor", "America Thinks They Have Talent", etc, etc.

2. A selection of musical artists you do not care for.
Most hip-hop/rap artists. Just don't get the whole ghetto thing. I could go the rest of my life without a Streisand or Diamond or Manilow or Celine Dion types. Not particularly fond of the typical Las Vegas headliner (Wayne Newton & his ilk). Nor am I anywhere near being into Broadway play type tunes. Nor do I like the "screamer" type female singers...Aguilera, Mariah Carey, etc. Nor do I care for anyone who has won on any of those "American Idol" or clone type shows.

3. A selection of celebrities you couldn’t care less about.
See above...those named Kardashian, Lohan, Bieber, Jonas, etc.

4. A hobby you “don’t get”.
Hoarding.

5. A habit you find disgusting.

Tobacco smoking, spitting in public, blowing one's nose by just holding one nostril closed, no tissue.

6. Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else bitched over.
School was so long ago, I can't remember. I can barely remember what I had for breakfast this morning.

7. Your favorite household chore.

Cooking. I love to cook.

8. Popular video games that make you go “meh”.

Any of them, I'm not a "gamer".

9. PC or MAC?

PC

10. A sport you don’t like, for whatever reason.

Well, if they don't get their **** together soon, it's going to be the NBA.

Not so much that I don't like it, I just am totally confused by it and will probably not live long enough to ever understand it, but: Cricket. The wicket & ball game, not the type of darts game...that I'm in full understanding of.

11. A sport you really like, for whatever reason.

When they're not being greedy bastards & have labor issues, Pro Basketball. (specifically, the LA Lakers)
Loved baseball growing up (didn't matter what teams were playing, pro, college, major league, minor league, I could watch all nine innings & still want more), but all the hoo-ha over steroids & growth hormones kind of soured me on it. Plus, there are too many teams...the talent pool is dreadfully diluted. When I was a kid, there were only 8 teams in each league and each team had at least two, sometimes three, superstars per team...even the habitual cellar-dwellers.
Love American football...pro or college...even the good ol' Canadian league.
And, I'm just fascinated by Australian Football.
I get into soccer when either the World Cup or the Olympics come around, but even though we have two MLS teams in town, I pretty much ignore them.

12. Television programs you love but have gotten **** for liking.
X-Files, Dancing With The Stars, ST:TNG


13. Musical artists you love but have gotten **** for liking.
Fleetwood Mac...post-1975 especially.
Yoko Ono
Neil Young
There was a very VERY short time when I could admit to liking the Bee Gees.


14. A hobby you have/find interesting that other people bother you over/make fun of.

Don't really have the hobby anymore since I don't really have a permanent residence, but I used to love this baseball card game I had called "Strat-O-Matic Baseball". I had that from the time I was 8 years old until I finally tossed it when downsizing during my last relocation. (rats & mice had gotten into the box of cards & pretty much shredded them all to make nests. I shed more than a couple of tears when that box went into the trash can...I put out a Jihad on all rodents after that...wild ones, Victoria; not the domesticated ones)


15. A habit you have that other people bug you over.

Chewing on my tongue. Biting hangnails on my fingers. Neurotically playing with my moustache with my tongue. SNORING!

Not shaving every day...when I don't have a beard, I'll let the whiskers grow for two or three days until I finally shave. And, when I DO have a beard, not keeping it neatly trimmed on a daily basis.

16. Something in school you hating doing and it felt like everyone else loved.

Ok, now THIS I remember from school because it scarred me for life.
Not "gym" as a whole, but gymnastics in particular...there was always that dreaded two or three weeks every school year when we'd have gymnastics. I couldn't climb the rope, but the coach would always badger us two or three porky guys to keep trying until we had rope burns on the inside of our thighs & palms of our hands (which being a fledgling guitarist at the time annoyed the hell out of me), I couldn't do the high-bar spin things, I nearly maimed & killed myself a couple of times doing a dismount off the parallel bars. And, The Rings. Omigod, HATED them. Like it was EXPECTED that we all had to do an "iron cross" or a "hand stand". Hell I've seen Gold-medal caliber Olympians who had trouble doing those!! Some chubby kid who was better suited to play middle linebacker just is NOT going to be good at gymnastics, no matter how many decibels the coach yells. Just hated gymnastics.


17. The household chore that makes you want to shoot your own face off.

Washing windows; cleaning toilets.

Would "do-it-yourself" auto maintenance fall into this category? I hate changing the oil in my car myself. With all the environmental rules, I just start storing the old motor oil until I'm nearly a candidate for that show "Hoarders". I just pretty much overall hate doing my own car maintenance...putting in gas & using a squeegee on my windshield & windows is about as far as I like to go. Don't even like to WASH my own car...I'd rather go to the neighborhood car wash and tip heavily.

18. A selection of video games that you enjoy that perhaps you really shouldn’t.

The old, old school ones...the original chip version of "Pac-Man" or "Centipede". "Space Invaders" I got pretty good at, too. (That song on the first Pretenders album was my personal theme song for a year or two)

19. A celebrity crush that maybe even you don’t understand.
PauleyPerrette (NCIS)
Michaela Conlin (Bones)
Stevie Nicks...yeah, her. I UNDERSTOOD it from '73-85, but even since then? Unfathomable.

20. Free rant on whatever grinds your gears at the moment.

The Republican Party, The Tea Party, Congress as a whole. Televangelists. Airport Security, the IRS, the constant lies from Fox News that nobody questions (except Jon Stewart & The Daily Show and Bill Maher); and the people who blindly buy into their BS. People who call the USA a "Christian country"...no, no, and NO! It's a country of religious freedom, yes, even those who are Islams/Muslims or even Atheists! I'm so sick of these politicians freely crossing the line of "separation of church & state". I'm tired of the hypocrisy of religious leaders, hypocrisy of politicians, hypocrisy of co-workers & friends...and work hard to not to fall victim of my own hypocrisies when they arise.

There's no wonder I tend to like animals more than humans.

But other than that, I'm fine.

We call that the Kentucky Nose Blow, around here.

Stop being me. I should have been a chef. The one thing I look forward to most, every day(okay, other than sex), is cooking dinner. I LOVE cooking, and being creative with it!

Really? It's SOOO easy. I changed my oil and filter yesterday, in probably 10 minutes, for about $12 total. I do my own brake jobs, too...It's EASY.

Well I don't want to date myself, since I'm only 25, but god I used to be in love with Galaga, and Dig Dug, and Pac Man. Yes, I was playing video games prenatally!

1. A selection of television programs you do not care for.
Most hideous reality nonsense like Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Paris Hilton's BFF etc... why???

2. A selection of musical artists you do not care for.
Death Metal, Black Metal type stuff... and Slipknot. Why actually growl instead of singing words?? Also the Bedingfields - Daniel and Natasha. My God...sucjh terrible, terrible lyrics! Scotty McCreaery - the worst kind of cliched cheesy country.

3. A selection of celebrities you couldn’t care less about.
The kind of people featured in the above shows.

4. A hobby you “don’t get”.
Golf. Yawn.

5. A habit you find disgusting.
People cracking their knuckles and grinding their teeth..ughhhh!


6. Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else bitched over.
Writing.

7. Your favorite household chore.
Cooking, doing the dishes and washing/laundry

8. Popular video games that make you go “meh”.
Video games don;t do it for me. I understand the appeal for others but they're not really my thing. Although I did used to love the Sega Mega Drive!

9. PC or MAC?
PC. Never owned a Mac although I might some day.

10. A sport you don’t like, for whatever reason.
American Football. Sorry guys but having watched several games, one live in Texas, I just can't stand it. Start. Run for a minute at the most. Stop. Start...

11. A sport you really like, for whatever reason.
Tennis.

12. Television programs you love but have gotten **** for liking.
Murder, She Wrote and Providence - if anyone remembers that one! Perfect comfort tv. All otgher shows I watch I know at least someone who likes them (perhaps only between us but still!)

13. Musical artists you love but have gotten **** for liking.
Oh Jesus, there's loads here. Very few people get my love of country and bluegrass and people ocassionally scoff at Kylie and Girls Aloud despite admitting that they'd want to do other things to them...

14. A hobby you have/find interesting that other people bother you over/make fun of.
Porn.


15. A habit you have that other people bug you over.
Just a "little" OCD about CD's and dvd's. They're in an order and I have to instantly put them away when I'm finished with them and they go round the right way in the box so that the text looks how it's supposed to! God forbid people leave them out of the boxes, or in the wrong boxes, or shiny side down in shelves/stereos...aghhhh! Oh, and biting my nails. Iknow it's grim...sorry!

16. Something in school you hating doing and it felt like everyone else loved.
PE or Technical/Shop - just no.

17. The household chore that makes you want to shoot your own face off.
Ironing or cleaning windows.

18. A selection of video games thats you enjoy that perhaps you really shouldn’t.
None really.

19. A celebrity crush that maybe even you don’t understand.
I've been told by a couple of friends that they don't get my thing for Michelle Pfeiffer or Kirsten Dunst. How can you NOT think they're both hot as as ****!?! Also Susannah Reid from BBC Breakfast here in the UK - someone very nice to wake up to!


[B]20. Free rant on whatever grinds your gears at the moment.[/]
People who feel they have the right to judge/comment on the most inconsequential decisions that others make. For example, I've just been on holiday to Texas and I've had a LOT of... "why? why Texas? how random.. I wouldn;t go there..." Well, I don't give a....! I didn;t ask you to go there!
