The puns on the previous posts? Not quirks. Not at all.
Day One: Ten things you want to do some day.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight qualities you think are awesome in other people.
Day Four: Seven (semi)interesting things you've pondered or thought about recently.
Day Five: Six things you are glad you did.
Day Six: Five books/movies/tv series/etc that you'd recommend
Day Seven: Four silly quirks
Day Eight: Three pet peeves
Day Nine: Two things for which you're proud of yourself.
Day Ten: One secret plan.
Number one: Bed tea and laziness
I have an electric kettle, tea bags, and mugs all set up together beside my bed. And yet sometimes, particularly on snowy weekend days (or post-call days) it's too much effort to make tea.
Number two: Texting
I've had a cell phone since I graduated from University. (The first time. That's eight years ago.) I never text. I have this strong, irrational aversion to texting. And yet I adore MSN.
Number three: Cooking
Whenever I cook or bake anything, I turn off the oven or stove before it's done. Sometimes it's a few minutes before it's done (if I'm cooking with the oven), sometimes it's right before I take whatever I'm making out/off. But I never leave an element burning without something on it. Paranoia? Perhaps. But I've never left the house wondering if my stove is on.
Number four: Walking games.
"Don't step on a crack or you'll break your mother's back" is only the beginning. The rules are much more complicated than that. Every time I step in a section (a fully closed shape), I get one point. Another step in that same square and I lose that point and a third step means I get minus ten. Fourth step = -20, fifth step = -30, etc. And they're cumulative, so six steps would mean +1 - 1 - 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 = -100.
But, if I step over a section I get ten points. Over two sections, 10 + 20 = 30. Etc... This only counts, however, if the section is large enough to fit my foot (because if I step on a crack, my mom's back breaks. And that's bad).
This makes carpets, streets, and tiny tiles my enemies!
...I'm NOT silly!
