From aquavator:
People who get tagged need to post in their journal 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
1. When I take a shower, I line up the bathmat exactly at the edge of the tub. Since Daria usually showers before me, that means readjusting the mat each time (she keeps it further from the edge), and when there's water on the floor, I go and get a few paper towels from the kitchen to mop it up before moving the mat. Can we say anal neat freak?
2. When I light a votive candle, I like it to burn evenly, so I don't blow it out until the entire top of the candle is melted. It doesn't always work out; and I really hate it when a volcanic-like shift happens and all the melted wax drips down the votive.
3. I towel off from a shower methodically: right arm, left arm, front, then hair (and while still leaning over to prevent my hair from touching my back): back, left leg, right leg, and then wrap the hair up in the towel and stand up. I kid you not.
4. I my cube at the office, I have the ability to go on a tangent when my boss Stephen is giving me a work update, and then suck other people into the discussion without trying. Examples: One time I compared myself to Galileo (that was loosely related to the work discussion), which ended up in a four-person conversation debating the infighting of Christians (mainly Catholics v. Protestants) to that of the Sunni, Shia, and Kurds, and whether the fractures in Iraq are more a result of religious conflict or current political circumstance. Another time, while discussing logical naming conventions for CSS styles, I joked that if I had it my way I would name them after astrological signs. That led to a discussion of who's what sign in the office, and how many of us actually believe that shit (I kinda do). And last, Stephen made a seemingly benign comment about his dislike of Howard Dean (who appeared on the cover of the Sunday Times Magazine that week lying on my desk), which led to a passionate and frustrating debate regarding health care reform. (If all of these tangents seem hard to follow, they are. I can't retrace everything said, so I just present the highlights.) Don't you wish you worked with me?
5. I bite the insides of my cheeks while concentrating or expressing disapproval. I would really like to stop that one.
6. And as evidenced by this post and any conversation you've ever had with me in person, I talk a lot.
sorry folks, no more tagging. this segment of the chain ends here.
