Here are my 7:
andrew/warren- from Buffy. This is one of my ships. They were both evil, but Warren was way evil and Andrew was just evil to make Warren happy. It is strongly strongly suggested in canon that Andrew only did horrible things because he had a thing for Warren. He's very much a follower, at first. He's good in the end though. I just love the dark twisted aspect of their possible relationship.
balloon polls- this is because ofifox who, once upon a time, made polls where a group of people from a particular show/book/movie/etc (Buffy and Harrison Ford characters stick out most notably) were in a balloon and facing certain death, lest they could get the balloon to rise. We, as readers of his fine journal, were to vote who would be tossed from the balloon, until there was only one left surviving at the end. It was all rather thrilling, though when he did Winnie the Pooh, it was rather disturbing.
big gay baseball songs- this is from High School Musical 2. There is one good song in the whole movie and it involves two characters, one trying to convince the other that dancing is like baseball and since he's oh-so-good at sports, he'd be oh-so-good at dancing. It... really made no sense whatsoever, but the sexual tension and sheer chemistry between the two characters was palpable, just sitting in a living room watching it. So I started to call it my Big Gay Baseball Song. :)
chad/ryan- the two characters that sing the song! Chad is the sports guy, Ryan is the dance/drama guy. If it weren't made by Disney, they'd so have been making out at the end of I Don't Dance (what I call the Big Gay Baseball Song). This is my new favourite ship.
david hewlett's heart-shaped ass- this interest is about, well, David Hewlett's heart-shaped ass. I love David Hewlett. He's got a nice ass. A community I belong to strived to get other people to notice David Hewlett's rather lovely ass, so a bunch of us put it in our interests list. It really is a lovely ass...
(I reordered the next two to make it easier to write out)
regenesis- a Canadian drama about a group of people who work at the Canadian equivalent of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control). It's an AWESOME show, though very much like a soap opera. I love it, though I'm pitifully far behind in episodes. *sigh*
extended harnessing This is a carseat thing. It involves safest practices for children in a car. It follows with extended rearfacing, but nobody else has that interest. What it means, basically, is keeping children in the 5 point harness past 40 pounds, which is the "standard" weight for moving to a booster seat that uses the regular seatbelt to secure a child in the car. There are a number of affordable seats on the market now that will keep a child in the 5 point harness well past 40 pounds. Seeing as most kids hit 40 pounds at about 3-4 years old, and most kids aren't PHYSICALLY or MENTALLY mature enough for an adult seatbelt until at least 5 or 6 years old, extended harnessing is a big deal. People just don't realize how unsafe an adult belt is for little kids. Their bodies just can't handle it in a crash, and children have died not from misuse, but because they were just too young/small (even at over 40 pounds, still too small) to properly use an adult belt, even with the booster seat. There are seats that harness to 50, 65, and even 80 pounds on the market, but the word isn't out that these seats need to be used if a child is over 40 pounds but under a certain maturity level/under a certain age. No child, regardless of weight, has any business being in an adult seatbelt under the age of 5. Few children are exceptional enough to be safe enough in an adult seatbelt at 5, hence the push for at least 5, a maturity test, and to keep kids harnessed to higher weights than the old standard of 40 pounds. Hopefully, in a few years, the standard harness won't be outgrown until at least 50 pounds.
Can you tell carseat safety is my passion? Don't get me started on extended rearfacing either. :)
And that's that. Hope I didn't bore you too much with the last one.

Hating Andrew Lloyd Webber - Is fairly self explanatory. I cannot stand the man, or his shows.
Quiz Bowl - I did quiz bowl in high school and went to nationals. Got a free trip to Disney
The Last Five Years - One of my all time favorite musicals. Remind me to send it to you at some point.
Zelda - BEST GAME EVER. Um. Heh.
Friday Night Lights - My newest tv obsession of the moment because it is awesome even if it is secretly about football.
