Tagged.
Tagged by Sakasa~, so I oblige. I believe I've done something like this one before, but ah well.
THE RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks.
1. I smell everything before I eat it.
2. Unlike a whole lot of people, I don't 'bump' my music or listen to it so loudly that I can't still hear what's going on around me.
3. Related to the above - any sort of sensory deprivation drives me nuts. If I cannot hear/see/smell things around me, I start freaking out.
4. Although I don't think I was so bad about it as a younger child, as I've grown older, I've become more and more terrified of water that is not in my immediate control. I will not step foot in the ocean past my knees, tops, and I will not submerge myself in water that I cannot see clearly through to the bottom. Last year Malcolm and I went to Silverwood Lake, a local lake, and I started freaking out as soon as I got in the water because it was murky and had weeds growing at the bottom. I suppose it's frustrating for him, as he loves to swim. I really don't even like pools that much, though I enjoy hottubs.
5. I once 'stole' a horse. I'm not sure I've ever told this story on my journal before, but when I was little my Dad lived in a trailer park where there were horses next door. I was probably.. I don't know, maybe 10 at the time. Anyway, my best friend Mija and I were out playing one day, and I decided I wanted to ride the neighbor's black horse. I climbed inside the arena the horse was in, slipped a halter over it's head, and climbed up bareback. I trotted the horse around the arena a few times before the neighbors saw that some little punk was riding their horse, and yelled at me to get off. Terrified, I did, (though I was nice enough to remove the halter and hang it back up in a hurry) and Mija and I fled into the surrounding brush and hid. My Dad eventually found us, and I burst into tears. At first, Mija tried to tell my Dad that I was crying because I had hurt my leg, but I busted that theory by walking right over to him. I confessed to my crime, and I think later wrote a letter of apology. I felt pretty awful. :P
6. I read tarot. I'm not entirely sure that everyone on my Flist knew that, so it would qualify as random/little known fact. :P And I read my own tarot often, even though there is a taboo against it.
7. When I was little I used to be entirely obsessed with Ireland.
8. I've kept every single letter that anyone has ever written me, along with any trinkets/other things that people have sent me. Most of them are tucked away in a huge box.
9. Despite my current eclectic spiritual beliefs, I used to be a practicing Christian.
10. Despite my horrible phobia of water and needles, there are other things I am even more terrified of, and have been since I was little: home invasion, and serial killers.
I tag whoever feels like doing this. :P So there.
Not much else to update on.
I really need a working copy of Painter. ;_; I NEEEED to finish my digital commissions, but alas.
My paid account expired and my journal looks weird now. o_O WTF LJ.
