My wife and I like to take walks and when we lived in Oslo Norway we would always see other people out walking around. But when we moved back to the states it seems like walking is only reserved for those who need to exercise. Walking around in suburbia I can often see house after house that has one room with the "TV glow" in a window. There is some truth to every cultural assumption. No matter how bad TV is, it does have entertaining properties.
""I don't watch tv, exercise every day, get 8 hours sleep,.." check, check and check. Is this so unusual?"
If you ask someone a question that has a negative social aspect they are very likely to push their answer in the direction they think is socially better. While there will be some truth, the answer is probably more like:
I watch 0-3 hours a night of TV (mostly depending if netflix movie arrived that day or what tivo recorded), I exercise two (more likely), maybe three times a week, and get 6-7 hours of sleep a night.
So to answer the question, doing everything I listed is unusual, much more likely there is some truth mixed in. While I don't take tons of photos of my cat, I do have some photos of her going nuts trying to get to the squirrel on the other side of the porch window (who couldn't care less that she was there).
