Another meme I couldn't resist...
1. Are there any classes of food you won't eat?
Well, the obvious is meat. And that, for me, includes poultry and seafood as well. I can't think of any other "classes" of food that I won't eat, unless maybe "diet/lite" counts. ;)
2. Are there any whole genres of TV you won't watch?
Reality shows, that's about it. Pretty much anything else I might say would have at least one exception. Sigh. I watch too much TV.
3. What colors will you never wear?
There are colors I avoid, but I don't know about never. I have a couple of bright red t-shirts that every time I think about wearing them I go, "ugh, but it's so RED!" I like red, but these shirts are just too bright. OTOH, my bathrobe is red (but no one ever sees me in it). I'm not crazy about orange either, but I'd wear it if the piece of clothing were right. I avoid white when possible, just because it stains so easily.
4. Music styles?
Country. Boybands. Most rap. Most opera.
5. Actors whose movies you refuse to see on principle.
Used to be Ben Affleck (see previous post) but now, I don't think there's anyone. Wait, maybe Gerard Depardieu(sp?). You know, because of the whole having sex with 12-year-olds thing.
6. Categories of film that you avoid like the plague.
Gross-out teen comedies a la American Pie, Something About Mary, etc. Kung-fu or fighter movies, i.e. anything with Jet Li or Van Damme/Steven Seagal/etc. Anything else, see #2.
7. Types of cuisine you won't eat.
I take a LOT of convincing to eat Mexican. Being as I'm a vegetarian and allergic to tomatoes, it's pretty hard to find anything Mexican that I can eat. Plus I'm not big on greasy.
By the same token, I obviously don't eat a lot of BBQ either. ;)
I'm not hugely fond of Japanese food (kind of ironic since I just spent a week in Japan?) but I can usually find something.
8. Breeds of dog or cat you would never own.
I have trouble envisioning myself owning *any* kind of dog; I'm a certified cat person. Retrievers are nice enough, though.
I wouldn't want one of those weird new types of cats that are being bred to have shorter legs. I think that's evil and wrong. The same goes for cats that are bred to be so flat-faced they have trouble breathing. But there really aren't that many different kinds of cats, so other than that I'd probably be willing to be owned by any of 'em. :)
9. Household chore you hate enough to offload on the innocent and unsuspecting.
I live alone, so there's no such innocent or unsuspecting, alas. And I hate pretty much all household chores except when I'm in the right mood. I guess scrubbing the tub would be up there on the hate list; it's hard on my RSI-stricken wrists. I don't really mind the chores that most people consider icky, like cleaning the cat-box or the toilet. I'm not saying I LIKE them, but they're necessities of life and I don't mind them.
10. Most hated sport, either to play or to watch.
I don't play any sport, so that would be all of 'em. ;) Most hated sport to watch? *ponder* I think I'll go with tennis. Back and forth! Back and forth! Snore!
I don't really enjoy watching any sport other than baseball, but I wouldn't say I hate the rest of 'em; I'm just indifferent.
