Meme

A meme that I've seen in several different blogs that I read. I figured I'd fill it out since not much is going on to blog about otherwise. Anyone else for a meme?

......a strange combination of food you like to snack on.
Fries dipped in milkshakes are a good one, but I don't think it's that strange to most people. I'm on a bit of a dried apple kick at the moment. Sometimes I'll just take a swig of cream or drink one of those little half/half containers on the table at restaurants meant to be put in coffee. Not a combination, but a bit strange.

...something you do that other bloggers who read you might find odd if they saw you doing it.
This question is clearly meant for bloggers with a readership larger than a few friends and family. I also don't think anyone would be surprised to see me do something odd. D says I sneeze very weird and sometimes I snap a lot pre-sneeze. I kind of close up my eyes halfway while raising my eyebrows and opening my mouth in an odd fashion all the while snapping away.

...when you were 7, what you wanted to be when you grew up - that you never told anyone about.
I don't remember harboring any occupational goals that I left unknown, or really any for that matter (j/k). I remember wanting to be an office worker (I have always loved all things organizational and anything with buttons to push and any/all office supplies), a zookeeper, and an astronaut.

...the thing you don't tell people at work about yourself.
I probably wouldn't tell anyone about my blog because if I was working, I'd clearly need to blog about the daily annoyances of work. Instead of a dog walking/cleaning/cooking blog, I'd have a bitch and moan/work gripe/miserable blog. See, isn't it great I'm not working?

....what you like to do when no one else is going to be home for a stretch of time.
Now this is something that applies to my life. I'm trying to think what I do differently when D is gone. I definitely don't cook when he's gone, at least not very often. You know, I think that's it. Otherwise I'm basically the same when he's around than when he's not. Interesting.

...the thing you believe - politically - that you don't admit to people who think you think like they do.
On individual issues, I'm actually far more middle of the road than most people would think. I just tend to come off as very liberal because I so strongly believe that Bush is our worst president ever and has done damage to this country, our environment, and our legal system that will take decades to undo and/or fix. However, if you took out labels of Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative, then I actually tend to end up in the middle on many issues.

...that one thing from your childhood, outside of your parents, that you try to maintain some kind of connection with, and how.
There aren't things that I necessarily try to maintain a connection with, but there are things I learned that I carry over into my life now. For example, I never kill spiders I find in the house; I always catch them with a glass and then slide a paper underneath and let them go outside (I actually did this with a big fly the other day, but only because I have no fly swatter and I didn't want to splatter it all over my nice wall paint - I felt very Karate Kid, sans chopsticks). I also don't let the water run when I'm brushing my teeth.

...a song or group or singer you secretly like that everyone else groans about.
Well, jeez, this is pretty much everything I listen to. In reality, I really only listen to music every once in a while or when I'm working out. And I tend to only like one or two songs by a group/singer, except for Coldplay - I love all of their stuff. Pressed to name someone I think is quite good who most would groan about, I'll go with Justin Timberlake.

...do you close the bathroom door when you're the only one home?
No. I find it odd that anyone would close the door when they are alone.
