Primping. Girly type grooming and decorating and shopping and blah. Although I like "girly" arts like knitting, crocheting, spinning, sewing, and crafting (but not scrap booking!) I admit I have a craft stash problem (and a not enough time to make a dent in it problem) Drama. Romance. I like sci-fi and fantasy and action. Birthdays, holidays, anniversaries. IDGAF. Lucky I have a husband who also doesn't care, because I KNOW one person caring and the other one not can lead to friction. Kids in general, although specific kids are awesome. Alcohol, drugs, partying. At any point in my life, really, although one night I had four stiff drinks in quick succession under the supervision of a friend who is a nurse just to see what all the fuss was about. People. Ugh. Just enough human contact to stay sane sounds about right. I agree about not being interested in ancestry. Maybe for medical history purposes.

Well, movingforward and I will come over and you can teach us to crochet. Or we'll just drink wine, pet your dog and look at your travel photos while you crochet. Either way. This sounds like my kind of day! Especially if we're all allowed to wear yoga pants! Pants!?!?!?! Well then, I'm out...

The veggies I can see. Crocheting is not my thing though. It may relate to my post above about attention span issues. There's really not much of anything I want to do for longer than 30 minutes a stretch other than drink wine. I do the same stitch over and over... i don't follow patterns because I can't deal with counting and concentrating that much. oh, and i totally drink wine while i do it! granny squares aren't really counting....until you start putting them together, anyway. and yes, wine.

Massaging mouse weenies!!! I'd be telling the whole world that's what I got paid to do just to see the expression on their faces. That would probably stop dead most cocktail party conversations.

I must have a list for grocery shopping. If I lose my list before we get to the store I panic. I'll re-write my list 3-4 times until I am satisfied that it is organized by aisle/item in the store. I have a pre-printed list, organized by aisle and order. I have one for each of the stores I shop at, and I update them every time they move anything. I highlight what I need, and if there is anything oddball that I need, I write it in, in its place.

I can't have anyone touch the inside of my wrists. I can't look at or touch anyone else's. It REALLY freaks me out.
I don't like Mac and cheese.
I eat raw veggies but not cooked ones.
I'm a freaking nutjob, these are just some highlights.

For me it's because I can depend on that dog to be crazy about me no matter what. It's the best feeling in the world to come home to that. Maybe people with better interpersonal relationships feel differently. You and Oped are probably just more highly evolved than I am. I totally get this about pets. I like having pets. What I don't get is people who claim their pets are their children. I find that idea really sad (and it makes me feel bad for the person claiming the critter is their kid) ... since I'm pretty sure they will outlive their pets. That said, I have loved every one of my pets. I would hope to goodness I would love any actual children a tiny bit differently than I've loved my pets. I'm a firm believer that there are many different shades of love available for use.
I also don't get people who expect pets to behave in ways that pets can't behave. My cats are cats and they do cat things - even if it annoys me sometimes. So, the Boy Cat yodeling (at the top of his lungs) to his beloved Pink Mousie at 2:00am is just something that cats do. He's not trying to tell me something (like he's upset with what he had for dinner and is paying me back for this affront by keeping me up during the night). If I don't want to listen to the serenade I can just get rid of the Pink Mousie (and a couple of other toys) and he will stop singing nightly. I actually find the yodeling a little amusing so the Pink Mousie stays.

Oh, I really don't like movies very much. I will watch them from time to time with the sweetie but mostly I find the idea torturous. My attention span craps out around 30 minutes and then I'm usually just waiting for it to be over.
ETA: Except for those Jason Bourne movies - I am weirdly fascinated by those, and since they are pretty much always on TV I think I've seen them 50 times.
OMG, I must have another sista on the boards. I mostly watch movies if on DVD because that way I can fast forward to the end and say I watched it. (In case someone asks me if I liked the ending)
As for Bourne movies I'm there with you on the 50 times plus I have read The Bourne Identity twice. Once when it first came out and many years later when the movies started up.
As for things I know I am weird about - I totally missed the sentimental gene and the traditional gene.

I'm a rotator. I rotate the towels in the towel drawers, the canned goods, the laundry. Especially the laundry. I have it organized by color and water temperature. Is was the baskets from left to right in a certain order, I do not deviate from this order. Yeah, I know. I'm weird. I sort my laundry just before I do it. I always do it in the same order: whites, colors, darks, jeans, towels. If there is some reason I have to change the order I am just all out of whack. OMG! That's the order I do laundry as well... because that was the way my mother did it, and in order to keep her from nagging me from the grave on laundry day I do it in that order.
FWIW: for me it makes sense to do jeans/heavy stuff or towels last - they take the longest time to wash and tend to go in the dryer. I hang dry a lot of stuff from the other categories, and well, jeans too. The jeans generally don't need to be dry by the next morning (like say my dress pants for work)... so it's better to get the other loads done early/first so they have as long a hang dry time as possible. So there is some rhyme/reason for the order.

I'm getting some new ideas here on how to organize my shopping list. Really I would love an app that does it for me but not sure that would work for multiple stores.

I organize my lists to coordinate with the locations in the store too.
I can't shop without a list.

LOL I got you beat. Mine is 3200 square feet and there are 4! One of which my ex husband put up. When I built the place I just went with neutral EVERYTHING. The carpet is beige, the walls all off white, the appliances bisque, the counters just beige. I had zero decorating skills so just went plain with everything. It looks like somebody just moved in. No window coverings, the steel doors are just primer, no paint. I did get the bug a little when I redid younger son's room with that navy blue wall and minion theme. I might have to get bold and paint some this Summer! lol! you and I must be related! When I built my house my décor was exactly the same! I actually hired a decorator to come and put together the family room because it was awful. he didn't realize we built the house and made a comment about the god awful carpet the original owners put in...umm, I picked that out!LOL
I have since sold that house and the new owners had it listed not long ago. the wife had a major flair for decorating and the house looks gorgeous now....now I want to buy it back!lol
Miss T, it's just the design sense, or lack of it, that accountants are born with. As a friend with a background in fashion merchandising said when viewing an assortment of paint samples on our wall "They're all beige!".

I like my silverware draw messed up. Yes, if you separate the utensils I will pull them out and just drop them back in wildly nilly.
I also couldn't care about holidays except Christmas, kids birthdays (well a few more kid things in small scale). We are lucky if we remember what day our anniversary is...
