Do you prefer a seat assignment that most would not?

31F on a Mad Dog

Let me explain some why this is the seat I will select most of the time. I fly to only US cities for my job, no international and my home airport is DFW. Most flights for me are Eagle flights or on Mad Dogs.

* I am window person because I will always at some point fall asleep and I like resting my head against the window.
* After 8+ years of flying, I really don't care to see the world outside my window, so the blocked view is no issue.
* I like not having to fight other elites for bin space up front and like the time between boarding groups to get comfortable before the Kettles arrive.
* The engine noise is not an issue because I will have an IPod with me and actually, the rhythm of the engine helps me fall asleep quicker
* I check luggage so getting off first is of no importance
* 31E seems to be one of the last seats that is filled with standby passengers so I have been on a few flights with a full plane except for the middle seat next to me.

Does anyone else enjoy a certain seat the most FF's would not sit in under normal circumstances?
