Selfish

I consider myself to be a reserved pack animal. I enjoy being with people and  having them around me, but sometimes I just want them to leave me the heck alone. Things that I can't help but love to do in solitude?

 

My nails - either doing them myself or getting them done. It's a bit of completely indulging myself time that I savor.

The physical act of shopping. Granted I do most of my shopping online nowadays so I can appropriately hem and haw endlessly over a purchase, but when I go to stores, I actually prefer going without friends and not being helped by sales associates unless I ask for it. Otherwise I am easily coerced in buying things I may not really like - and honestly I don't like to stand around waiting for other people to finish their dawdling.

 

Cleaning the house. And cooking. Both because it calms my mind as I have to concentrate on whatever the repetitive task is at hand. And because no one else can do certain things right (i.e., my way or the highway - so Type A, I know).

Exercising. Granted, I'd probably be more consistent with the workouts if I buddied up with some friends, but I feel like I can "booty shake" with more determination without an audience.

Watching Downton Abbey. I just saw the entire series one this past weekend. Literally got up at three a.m. on Sunday morning to watch the last episode. The show is just so properly addictive - but to keep track of all the characters and storylines, I need to pay attention!
