I'm sure everybody has something to this affect, some trait, habit, or whatever that completely ruins the image you're trying to project of yourself. (its not like we're all one dimesional) Like the biker with a toy poodle at home or what have you.
For example, I consider my taste in electronic music to be at the very least respectable, yet I have this unexplicable love for Heaven by Dj Sammy. Every since that track came out I havn't been able to stop listening to it. My deep down love of cheese is soo strong it scares me sometimes. Doesn't help when people are scrolling down my playlist, noding in approval at my musical tastes until they come to it.
And my hair as of now does nothing to fit the "queer eye" stereotype/image. in fact I've never fit that whole gay image which sadly does create difficulties in life.
Oh yeah, and my tough guy image, completely destroied when I let out a high pitch scream at the site of large bugs

haha
i have similiar issues wiff music.
theres tracks in my mp3s that i have to hide.
aqua springs to mind. its just somthin you always end up having to explain when people are scrolling through your nasty tough jungle and they all of sudden run into tarzan and jane. its even worse when your playing music and one of those silly ass songs come on and you leap up fly across the room as fast as you can to change it but its to late and everyone now knows your a fruity bastard deep down
In my hands I hold your smile and in my heart it runs so wild You are the one you are unique I'm so in love you make me weak And the reason that I feel is like a shadow from a light so if you have the chance to be with me be my shadow in the night

Hehehe ya well... I know how that goes, I dont really like my really short hair, but I really dont have too much choice in the matter for the next 2 years.
Also trading time for money really kills the image of being free.
Ohh well... all in due time, all in due time.

'80s music. Even the toughest hard core acid house freak will still have a thing for Bananarama, A-Ha and other mulletted wonders. It's infectious.
There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.

"Not that drawer!" (It's funny if you like Alan Partridge)
Yeah, definately have several musical skeletons in my closet.
I love my music collection and will defend it with vigour - which is difficult when someone scrolls by S Club 7, Christina Aguilera and Kylie (They were put on for a party ok!) Mis-Teeq however is a different thing altogether...

Eera - my flatmate and I just talking last night about how good AHA were!!
I have Rod Stewards greatest hits in my music collection and I'm proud of it!
Come faeries, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame.

I looooovvveee the Bee Gees!!!!
Always have done. They're excellent!!!
I used to be the object of everyone's ridicule back in my punk/metal days. Though they've been elevated by the masses to rock legend status now that they're all dying off. People can be soooo fickle....
My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely
