(I totally just tried to post this, but it disappeared...let's see if it works this time...)
Since it's been so serious around here lately (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), I thought it would be fun to play a game. So tell me...what are some opinions you hold that are different from the norm? What are your guilty pleasures? Tryr to keep to somewhat neutral topics (ie not gay marriage), and just tell us about what things you like/don't like that make you different.
Re: Confess...
I hate olives. That's not necessarily unpopular (it seems like half of all people adore them, and half hate them, and then there's like, .001% of people who are neutral).
I would rather clean the toilet that vaccuum stairs.
I love spelling. I used to do all the spelling bees when I was younger and had a great time with it.
I hate TV's on in the background, phones ringing loudly, etc. I can't remember the last time I turned a TV on by/for myself. I'll watch a show if H wants to or if friends are over and they want to, and enjoy it (possibly) but will never do it myself.
I'm a sucker for info/historical fiction on King Henry VIII.
I'm with you in being anti-olive!
I used to love video games, but I hate the newer systems...as in, anything made in the 2000s basically lol. I don't like things being too realistic, and I hate all the extra buttons. Set me down with Super Mario World, and I'll play for 8 hours. Set me down with any game on XBox, and I'm done in 10 minutes or less.
I too love Dance Moms
This week I've just been wanting to drop everything, climb in bed and read Harry Potter.
I'm also terrible at sports. No, terrible is an understatement. I am worse than terrible at sports.
I don't like video games and never have. I don't own a gaming system, never have, and never plan to.
I used to think that Lord of the Rings movies were stupid, but since H and I started dating we've watched all of them several times, and saw The Hobbit in the theatres. I actually kind of like the movies now, and am contemplating reading the books - now that I'm finished with the Game of Thrones books 1-5 and am floundering around trying to find something else to read

Ugh, I hate LOTR. I even read the Hobbit.
I hate Nickelback. Like,. REALLY hate 'em.
I never liked LOTR. I watched like 3/4 of the first movie and hated it, so I never continued. H insists I have to give it another shot, so I'm sure it'll happen soon.
I hate beer. I've never liked it.
I also think "reality" shows are stupid. My only exceptions are Pawn Stars and Storage Wars. Moreso because it's not liek they're really following the lives of people.
I also think the FDA needs to be dissolved and rebuilt.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confess... : GIve it a shot! I would start with the Hobbit. It's a really easy read. LOTR is a little more difficult because Tolkien can be incredibly wordy. The stories are fantastic though. I'm actually re-reading them all now.

I will definitely do that! We own the Hobbit book, H bought it for beach reading for our honeymoon. He has LOTR too, but hasn't read much since our honeymoon back in December, so who knows how long it will take him to get through it. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I borrowed it :)
I just saw Shinedown in concert this past Saturday - they are amazing live. Definitely one of my favorite bands.
[QUOTE]I don't like ketchup on fries. It's not like I'll refuse to eat fries with ketchup, but I'd never choose to put ketchup on them. I like ketchup on scrambled eggs, hash browns, veggie burgers, etc....just not on fries.

I loooooove ketchup. Love. Especially on fries. I have something of a reputation as a ketchup addict. Know what it's really good on? Grilled cheese.
When I was pregnant, I would have happily lived on fries, fruit and frozen desserts.
I love reality TV. Especially competitive reality shows. But I can't stand shows like the Real Housewives of _____. I can't stand the lack of logic or skills in human interaction. I hate that they only exist to watch people fight.
I hate stopping the car for ANYTHING on car trips. I use the bathroom before I leave and bring snacks, and fill up the car before I leave town. If I have a say, I don't stop for anything except gas. And the gas times are the only acceptable times to use the bathroom or get food. I don't think that waiting four hours for those things is that hard and stopping is a huge waste of time.

I also would rather drive for 8 hours straight than to drive 5 minutes to the grocery store. I try to get my FH to do all the driving around town and then I volunteer to do the long road trips--where I try to prevent him from going to the bathroom. It doesn't work, but I try.
Yes! and i always gas up the night before so i can just get in and GO!
I hate motorcycles. Like, I REALLY hate them and wish they were illegal. Motorcycles are incredibly dangerous, and no matter how safe you are at driving one, it's dangerous...that's like saying you use heroin safely. I'm sorry, I don't buy it. I just don't think they have a place on the roads with cars, particularly bigger ones like SUVs and trucks.
Prof, I am with you on the music. With a select few exceptions most of the music on the radio is complete garbage not worth the airspace it takes up. And yes I know I’m an old crotchety lady and I don’t care.

ME TOO. Omgoodness me too. I get especially irked when there are billboards and bumper stickers saying "look twice, motorcycles are everywhere!!" and then a motorcycle flies by going 90 in a 60, weaving in and out of lanes of traffic. And I'M the one that has to look twice. I see.
Never met a rap "song" I liked.
