   Todd: So, Julia, let's talk about types of people.


  Julia: OK.
  Todd: Right, first one, are you a fitness freak?
  Julia: A fitness freak? I'm fairly fit, but I'm not a freak. No, I'm not a fitness freak, no.
  Todd: So you exercise but it's not like you do it all the time?
  Julia: No, and I do some unhealthy stuff as well. I like to drink and I'm a former smoker 1 and yes, no I'm not a fitness freak.
  Todd: Right. I think a fitness freak is like somebody who does it, who exercises compulsively.
  Julia: I indulge in bad stuff too, so no I'm not a fitness freak.
  Todd: OK, so that leads us to the next question. Are you a party animal?
  Julia: Not any more. I'm too old now.
  Todd: When you were younger, you were a party animal?
  Julia: I think, yeah, that was probably the type that I most fitted into.
  Todd: Nice. I was never a party animal.
  Julia: No?
  Todd: No, I've always been pretty tame. I've always been pretty tame.
  Julia: Yes, I was pretty wild when I was younger.
  Todd: Really?
  Julia: Yeah.
  Todd: So you used to drink, smoke, stay up late?
  Julia: Yeah. All that and more, yeah.
  Todd: Come home in the wee hours of the morning?
  Julia: Oh, yeah.
  Todd: Oh, nice, that's cool. OK, next one would be do you know anybody in your family who's a couch potato?
  Julia: Couch potato?
  Todd: Because I know that you're not a couch potato.
  Julia: I'm not a couch potato, no. My brother sometimes demonstrates couch potato traits.
  Todd: Yeah.
  Julia: He likes to play video games and stuff like that, and he'll spend a lot of time watching movies, and so he does spend a lot of time sedentary compared to me. He makes me look like a fitness freak, I guess, because he doesn't do so much exercise.
  Todd: Right. And so for people listening a couch potato is somebody who watches a lot of TV and sits on the couch.
  Julia: Spends a lot of time on the couch, yeah.
  Todd: Well, how about the similar personality trait of the bookworm? Are you a bookworm?
  Julia: A bookworm? No, but I think my husband's probably a bookworm.
  Todd: Yeah?
  Julia: He spends a lot of time reading books. He reads very fast, so he gets through a lot of books.
  Todd: He's a speed reader?
  Julia: Yeah, he's a very fast reader and he has to read. He has to have a book with him all the time. He cannot, a waiting room or on a train or any situation where you've just got to sit around, he cannot do it if he doesn't have a book.
  Todd: Yeah. You know I live alone and that's a terrible trait that I have. I cannot sit and eat and just eat without something to occupy my attention. I have to read or I have to be like watching something on the computer, and if I go to a waiting room or anything like that or I'm on a plane I'm the same. I have to have something to read. It drives me nuts.
  Julia: You see I can't read on transport because I get sick. It makes me sick, it makes me nauseous.
  Todd: Like motion sickness?
  Julia: Yeah. So I don't have a habit of reading on a train. A bus or a car, oh my God no, I can't read. No way, but my husband reads everywhere all the time.
  Todd: That's cool.
