My Secret Single Behaviour

I wanted to shout out to Lurker Lou, who commented on the "Princess and the Pee-on". Welcome to my blog! And thank you for your great comment! Maybe it is just me, but I do believe "when you're in love, you do the things that just aren't done". Maybe it is dangerous, maybe it is silly, but that is what love is about.

So last night, as I was jumping up and down on my couch and screaming at my TV, I was quite struck at how odd the site would be to an outsider of Cassie World. I actually stopped for a moment to check if anyone was looking in the window! Seeing me do this might be reason to haul me into the loony bin, and yes, I know I am almost there, but it was just a Typical Tuesday night chez Cascadia. It started me thinking about my Secret Single Behaviour, boy, do I do some strange things. For those of you who are not Sex and the City freaks like me, Secret Single Bevahiour, or SSB, are the things you do in the privacy of your own home that others may think are odd, stupid, or maybe even a little disgusting. Most of us try to hide this behaviour, but today folks, I am coming out! Here is my some, and I really mean only some, of my SSB.

I am having a love affair with my couch.
Not like that! I don't mount my couch and hump it every night, but I do have a soft spot for the big fuzzy purple cutie named Ralph. Yes, I named my couch Ralph. He is warm, protective and he has gotten me through some rough times. Over the past 4 years, Ralph has seen boys come and go, his fair share of food and beverages (thank goodness for stainguard), different hair styles, different parties and many different guests sleeping on him, but he has always stayed strong and supportive. I even have been sleeping on Ralph for the last two weeks as I am finding it hard to sleep anywhere else. He is my friend, he is my confidant, he is the only man that hasn't left me cold.

I clean my house wearing practically nothing.
I know it is weird. But, I do like to house clean almost in the nude. I admit it. Now you may think, wow, that could be dangerous with those chemical, but I don't use anything that exciting when cleaning up. It is usually me and my swiffer and some lysol wipes. And then I have a shower in my nice clean shower.

I like reality or unscripted TV.
Yup. I do. Not all the shit like the midgets finding love, but I do like my big three: Survivor, The Amazing Race and The Apprentice. Hence I was jumping up and down on the couch, yelling at the TV last night - I was watching the Amazing Race. You may think I am cattle, but I don't care. On Tuesday and Thursday nights, most of the time I will screen out your call, settle in with Ralph and laugh out loud or holler at the TV. And if I am out for the evening, my VCR will be running and more times than not, I will watch my show when I get home. Sad, but it is my little joy in life.

I leave hair ties ad bobby pins everywhere.
I mean everywhere! Check it out if you are ever at my house. It is like an Easter egg hunt for hair accessories. I once even found a bobby pin in my fridge. How gross is that?

I love to pop zits.
Love it, love it, love it! And if I don't have any, I will go for yours. Watch out!

My favourite dinner is....
....popcorn and hot chocolate. So good. But I can only eat that when I am not watching the carbs. Yummy. My second favourite, MiniWheats, the cereal. There is something so naughty to me about having cereal for dinner.

I put on fancy clothes and walk around my house.
So, some of the time I walk around nude. Okay, well a fair bit of the time. But other times, I am like a kid. I will put on a fancy dress for no reason, do my hair, put on heels and wander around the house. Alone. Maybe I will read a book in my prom dress or watch reality TV in a bride's maid gown. It is something I do to feel pretty. And speaking of acting childish....

I like to make forts out of my furniture, blankets and cushions.
Did you ever do that as a kid? I certainly did! And I still do it! There is something very cozy and warm about a fort in your living room. You can go inside of it on a raining day, snuggle on in and forget about the rest of the world. Well, forget about it until your friend knocks on your door and asks what the fuck you are doing. One of the nicest things ever done for me by a boyfriend was making me a fort. What a hoot! He surprised me and then we decimated it by romping! There is nothing like fort fucking!

I make up little songs and rhymes and sing them really loud.
Constantly. It is a little family tradition started by my Dad. My sister does it too! It is so bad that my young niece is now doing it - she rhymes most of her words. In addition to composing our own diddies, we have a few family favourites: The fart song...."Pardon me boys, but that's the Chattanooga Choo Choo...." and my favourite, the dirty little song that my Dad sang to us when we were kids...

"Was it you who did the pushing
left the stains upon the cushion
footprints on the dashboard upside-down
Was it you, you sly wood pecker
who got in my daughter Rebecker
if it was you, you better leave this town

Yes, was I who did the pushing
left the stains upon the cushion
footprints on the dashboard upside-down
But, since I've had your daughter
I've had trouble passing water
so, I guess we're even all around!!"


And on that note, I think I will leave my SSB behind! I think that is all my ego can take for today! Thank god I live alone! Please please please, share some of your SSB with me. It will make me feel much better about Cassie Land!
