Day 9: Your favorite “weird/funny single behavior” – Anything you do that is uniquely YOU and that living alone allows you to do.

One of the things I'm most proud of is the fact that I was financially smart enough through college (when you're not having to worry about rent, food, a car payment and other big kid expenses it's pretty easy) that I could comfortably afford my own apartment with no roommates when I moved to Boise.  Don't get me wrong,  I love my friends, but because of the weird times I wake up in the morning/randomly nap throughout the day...I don't really enjoy sharing my space with them.  I like the quiet of having my own place, plus living alone allows me to do some quirky stuff without being judged.  There's plenty of quirky stuff I do because I live alone, but these are probably the top five.

Ladies, what are your "secret single behaviors?"  I wanna know if I'm the only weirdo out there, so tweet me your responses at @michelleonkiss!

    Binge Watch Castle

    TNT re-runs the murder mystery show Castle every afternoon (except Wednesday for some reason and that annoys me) and I'll watch it for hours watching it half awake while I do some work, do laundry, clean the kitchen...etc.  Over the summer I'm fairly sure I saw every episode that's currently in syndication at least four times.  Go ahead and judge, but you gotta admit looking at Nathan Fillion that long is in no way a bad thing!

    My Strange Eating Habits

    I've never quite had the iron stomach when it comes to running and it's always a challenge for me to time out my meals before my workouts so that I don't end up revisiting them later.  That means I'm often not having a real meal for dinner.  Sometimes a cup of grapes and cheese from Albertson's or a few chips and guac make a perfect dinner.  In the event that I do cook (and I can, I just choose not to most of the time) I'm happy there's no one around to judge me that I have the same meal for dinner for like a week straight.  Cooking for one sucks because you don't want those leftovers to go to waste.  I think my record was wedding soup every night for three weeks.  Gee, that's what happens when you use my grandfather's recipe that's meant to feed a family of four or more for a few days for just one person!

    Going For A Drive

    And I'm not talking like a scenic drive to a destination.  Sometimes on the way home from work, I'll really be digging an album I'm listening to and want to spend more time with it.  Sure, I could go toss it on my bluetooth speaker at home, but to be honest I really think music sounds best coming through my car stereo so I'll drive from the station down Parkcenter to Warm Springs in circles until I've had my fill of it.

    Enjoying My Secret Spot

    It annoyed the crap out of me when one of the guys I was seeing said "I forgot you go to Whole Foods by yourself for dinner all the time." Excuse me?! What's wrong with that? Their fish and chips rocks, the local tap selection is fabulous and I'm more productive there getting work done in the evenings there than I am at home because I can't just fall asleep there like I can on my couch.  I like it up in the River Room and never feel like some weird loner up there.

    Crying Over Sports

    I have no idea why I do this.  None.  Except for The Fault In Our Stars and A Walk To Remember, I don't even cry during sad movies.  But Remember the Titans?  All the time.  Watching the background stories of athletes in the Olympics?  All the time.  Stories like the one about a football team giving a cancer his patient his dream day as a DI football recruit?  I cried and it as a team that I strongly dislike.  Hell, I cried watching some D-List actors participate in the Nautica Triathlon for the LA Children's Hospital the other night. (I'm not even sure why I was watching that.)  The only logical explanation I can come up with is that my experience in high school track and country is really what shaped me into a young woman and I have nothing but love for my teammates and coaches.  They were like my second family.  Same goes for the incredible people I met through Team In Training here in the Treasure Valley.  Something about the power of sports just moves me to tears.  It's super weird, I know.  At least there's no one around at home to watch it happen!
