"Totally Lame" Meme (a little late)

TO DO:
List 5 things you do, did or like that some may consider “totally lame,” but that you are totally proud of.
1. When I play a game, I play by the rules -- no variations. I hate to play "house rules" for Monopoly (i.e. money for free parking, not allowed to buy until after you've gone around the board once, etc.) It only makes a long game even longer. It annoyed my grandma that I didn't want to play Scrabble with 9 tiles instead of 7. I realize there are many variations of card games which does not bother me as long as the rules and variations are decided on before the game starts.

2. I still love the Daily Show. I've had a huge crush on Jon Stewart ever since "the Jon Stewart Show" that came on after Lettermen for a brief time. Some people say it isn't as funny as it used to be but show like it change in waves. Right now a lot of the "correspondents" are relatively new and trying to find the pace of the show. Most people don't remember what it was like when Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Rob Corddry and Ed Helms were new. Exact same thing. At the time I was heartbroken that Mo Rocca, Nancy Walls and Beth Littleford were gone. Eventually over time the new people became favourites as well.

3. I adore Martha Stewart. Yesterday I was reminded of it when she said a recipe called for 2 rims of celery. Martha would never incorrectly call it a stalk. People don't realize how funny she is unless you've seen her eat bean burritos and drink malt liquor on Conan.

4. Math & Science. People don't realize that I love learning about any topic but math and science seems to be less socially acceptable.

5. As many others have mentioned, I have many stuffed animals in my room (well my room in Calgary, they are packed away right now). I have a friend who is a complete minimalist, she thinks anything that does not have a use and is used often needs to be gone. It is so beyond her comprehension to keep something for sentimental reasons. My stuff animals were on top of my bookshelves, they weren't in the way of anything. She said to me "You are a grown woman, you should not have stuffed animals!" I completely disagreed.
