I’m going to come sit by **you** if that’s okay. We can talk about everything adults talk about when they don’t have kids. 🙂

I don’t care for sports either (except lacrosse, and I only like watching that live).

I am completely dis-interested in football, which makes my Grey Cup birthdays a bit of a pain.

Not keen on Christmas, either.

Ice cream cakes - don’t like 'em at all. My husband usually gets a piece and three-quarters when someone serves them at a birthday party - I’ll eat enough to be polite.

Doughnuts, danishes, and other similar puffy glazed pastries. Something about them tastes sour and tinny and gives me a headache.

</div>

TV, for the most part. Sports, unless I know someone who is playing in that particular match. Most of the social media. Kids, unless I happen to be related to the kid in question. Getting drunk/high/stoned. Movies or shows that make a virtue out of stupidity. Shoe shopping. I have to confess that I sort of like clothes shopping, if I’m in the mood for it. Multi-player online games, although I LOVE meatspace multi-player games.

I think that if I liked sports, and particularly football, that I would like tailgate parties, though. I dunno, never attended one, because that would involve going to a football game.

Eating. What a bore. You have to figure out something that provides sufficient calories, but not too many, procure it, cook it, eat it, clean up afterward, then start the whole process again for the next meal. Boring!

Now I can enjoy an occasional good meal, in a restaurant or at home. But 3x a day? Pfft!

For most of the time, I would like either a daily pill or some giant container marked “people food” that I could spoon out a premeasured amount.

Specifically, I do not like and won’t eat a number of things, including ice cream (cold; made of milk product; sticky). I did not like it even as a child and yes, everyone told me what a weirdo I was.

Greek yogurt. It seems that the world is gaga over that stuff. I tried it once.

Once.

Swimming in the ocean. I like \*watching \*the ocean. I can even enjoy a stroll along the beach. However, do \*not \*ask me to go in the water. It’s too cold, fish have sex in it, and wet + sand is a very bad combo.

I don’t understand this AT ALL–but I wish I did! Everything I do revolves around food in some way: watching Food Network, reading recipes, leafing through cookbooks, and of course eating. It would be nice to just NOT CARE!

Pizza  
Yep, I know. I can tolerate a Papa Murphys take and bake loaded with veggies and hamburger and sausage. Other than that, no thanks. I don’t have to have it.

I like pizza but I have very specific tastes. What most people would find good, I find disgusting. There are only 4 pizzerias I will go to anymore, and 3 of them are hard for me to get to.

Beer. I really wish I liked beer…it would simplify life if I didn’t have to look at drink menus and choose something fancy and mixed. And my home life drinking would be easier too.

There’s another one I forgot:

Facebook. I just can’t be bothered with it. I know who my friends are without keeping an online list and can contact any and all of them just fine by phone and email.
