Hoarding Pizza
When I was a kid(skinny mind you). We ordered a lot of pizza, mainly at Rubino's down Ridgeline. With two brothers and friends always over at the house I developed a habit of assuming I was never going to get enough pizza. I was so worried I wouldn't get enough that I would just force pizza down my throat. Not even taste it. Grab Grab Grab. And this hasn't changed in my later years. I could order two pizzas with the guys and scarf down more pizza than I ever wanted just because I immediately worry I won't get enough, which of course is never the case. Usually I have too much and feel like a fat ass.
Being an athlete
Now this one is very subjective. Are you and athlete automatically because you play sports? Or do you have to be good at said sports to be considered an athlete? I love playing sports. My weeks are currently filled with hockey and soccer. I miss softball. I miss ultimate Frisbee. I wish I could just run around playing this sports all day. Granted I am awful at all of them. But I fully believe as long as my body will hold up I will continue to play these sports. Loved them as a kid and appreciate them even more so now that I realize I have no natural talent at any of them.
Hatred of Clowns
This one is blamed on Mom and Pops. When I was a boy growing up on the streets of El Toro I was forced to sleep in a room with the largest, ugliest, scariest,"happy" clown painted on one of my walls. I swear that damn thing would move at night, moving those damn balloons as I am trying to sleep. The fear of clowns grew and grew until I cried my way into convincing the parents to paint over that evil figure. To this day if a clown is in the room or walking towards me I will briskly walk the other way.
Video Games
I don't play video games nearly as much as I did when I was a kid. But I love them, it is my hour or two a week escape. And with the now inclusion of the Wii and RockBand/Guitar Hero its something that I will truly continue to take part in for a long long time.
Laser Tag
I love this game. I was talking with Garrett about this last night. We use to play at night, in the bushes for hours and hours. Coming home long past curfew, getting grounded and thinking how worth it that was. If I can convince my friends to go play laser tag anywhere I will.
Tron
It is a movie that blew my mind when I was a kid. Ohhhh the graphics. Ohhhh the special affects. I have never really understood why I love this movie so much. But I do with child like wonder and awe. There is something about Jeff Bridges all dressed up in a cool blue suit, rolling through this computer like fantasy land in rectangular flying robots and cool colored cars that leave deadly lines of destruction. The whole idea of this world has always appealed to me and always will. It is a movie I will always own, but one I know I will be forced to watch in seclusion for the rest of my life.

I pretty much feel the same way about all of these (except for the clown phobia), but I think that video games have to be the biggest one on the list.
i'm glad i'm not alone in this pizza issue. whenever i show up where pizza is being consumed, my first thought is always, "this won't be enough." when i order pizza with a couple friends, it usually averages out to 1.5 pizzas per person because i am terrified that i won't get enough. if i remember correctly, you and i downed a full large pizza while watching a baseball all star game, and as i recall, i was looking for more when all that was left was grease stains on the cardboard.
Taylor made me watch Tron. I wish I could have that time back...
Also, I want pizza. Now.
I will destroy you at laser tag.
Also, the next time you see a clown you should either punch it in the face or kick it in the junk (assuming this clown is male, if female you should continue in your phobia). Violence is always the answer to irrational fear.
I will never watch Tron.
