Myspace Monday
I had a fairly good weekend. The weather was fantastic on Saturday and a good hint of spring. I didn't do a lot, but I did get outside to enjoy some of the 60 degree temps, which was the bigger concern. My friend, Tet, had a small party at his place Saturday night where a bunch of us came up with a theme for our Myspace profile pics, using a rather sylish hat our friend, Bagel has been sporting lately.
Yours truly

Marianna (you can't see the lettering on the label, but it's a wine called Old Fart. It tasted better than it's name...)
Bagel, the original pimp ;P
A little while ago, someone tagged me with a list meme there also. I don't like doing list memes, in fact, I rarely participate in them at all. The idea behind this one was to list 6 habits you have that no one else knows about. I listed my habits, but didn't pass it on by tagging anyone else. I don't like perpetuating these things. However, I liked this one enough to cross-post it here on lj.
The thing that surprised me is that I really had to think about what my 'odd' habits were. So much of what we do habitually becomes so ingrained in our personalities and everyday routines, that we barely notice them. Of course, it usually takes someone else to point out something before we become concsious of what we're doing. For example, my friend, K-C categorizes almost everyone he knows by their zodiac sign. If he's telling you a story about someone, it might start off like this: " I was out with Kevin the other night and you know Kevin's an Aries, so..."
Anyway, I had to think hard about what some of my habits were, but I managed to come up with a few:
1. Most of the week, I'm carrying two sets of keys: one for work and one for home. At the beginning of my days off, I never feel right until I've gotten home and have taken my work keys off of my ring. No matter what's in my hands, the absolute first thing I must do is toss the work keys onto the dresser. Only then do I begin to relax
2. I don't like nuts in my ice cream. Period. Don't ask ;)
3. Sunday New York Times reading hierarchy: front page, Metro section, Week In Review, Sunday Styles, Arts and Leisure, and lastly, the Magazine. If I happen to read one section out of my order, I feel weird. I don't know why, it's just that way.
4. Writing pens: Black ink, medium point, retractable. No gel, no blue ink, no fumbling with tops.
5. I won't wear generic, white Fruit of the Looms. They remind me too much of when I was a kid, which I'm far from now. Don't get me wrong, the kid is still inside me, but his taste in underwear have matured, *lol* I like colors, muted patterns and briefs or boxer briefs only, please...
6. For some reason, I've developed this habit of wanting new music to listen to before I start my days in the studio. My days off from my job begin on Thursdays most weeks, so before I start painting, I'll head over to A.K.A. Music on Second Street in Old City to find something new or old to listen to...as long as I haven't heard it before...
Yours truly
