Yeah, I should probably add alcohol, especially at my age, wine. People are crazy about wine. I used to drink when I was younger and working and there was a culture of it (happy hour, like your pub culture) but that's gone out of my life. And there are things I would like to love (if I had financial and physical and mental freedom) like traveling.
Yeah, cats are VERY big in fandom (and non-fandom). You have to put up with a large amount of cats or you'd have no friends at all. And I can sympathise, but I'll not be able to empathise. I have everything I can handle taking care of right now with the kids, I don't want one single thing (plant, pet, complicated machine) that adds to my burden.
Yeah, I stopped going to 'friending memes' because it gets sort of depressing, lists and lists and lists of hundreds of people with 100's of things they like and me not liking any of them.
