RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 7 people to be tagged and list their names.
1. sporadic, impulsive organization: new groceries? re-haul cabinets. can't find a pair of shoes? re-haul closet. annoyed by caddy of rubber bands? spend an hour making a rubber band ball. find a dead pen in the cup? re-haul pen collection. it doesn't seem 'weird' until you understand the sudden, intense level of frustration that is the catalyst of these tear-down-and-rebuild 'moods'. fire sign? dunno. don'care. i just do.
2. i am consistently distracted by Shiny, Gorey, and New To Me in all their forms. to wit, i have driven off a road while looking at holiday lights, i love to look at the whole unbutchered animals that come into the grocery associated with the restaurant, and i will spend days on the internet looking up info on a new thing/term/etc until my interest is satiated.
3. i spent two years accumulating my longest fingernail clippings in a heart-shaped, pierced-clay Oaxacan box. one day, i tossed them all without a second thought, but now i occasionally think of resuming the habit. why????
4. even though i **KNOW** something will be hot (i.e. pan fresh from the 450-degree oven, the face of the iron, the coil of the stove burner, etc)---i will still quick-touch it to see if it's hot.
5. when showering and washing my hair, i will put the loose hairs that come out on the shower wall and trash them when i get out of the shower. my hair is about 2 feet long, so that's a lot of hair to get stuck in the tub drain...
6. i weekly dvr more movies than i can watch in a month. i am presently watching movies i dvr'd in early october. feh.
7. as a compulsive listmaker, i even write down things i know i do regularly: wash dishes, vacuum, shower, and balance checkbook, for example.
8. i always clean my shoes before i put them away.
9. i pick on my husband for dicing up his salad fixins, using processed cheese, drinking beer so light that it can't be called beer, and for having a big head (which he does not). despite his protesting, i continue to do these things.
10. i sing silly, spur-of-the-moment, made-up songs to my husband and the cat. constantly.
i tag 11 instead of just 7:
arsimmundapuris,
brunahildm,
ecwelch,
hellosamantha,
maethor,
melange_artiste,
nukke,
quiet_light,
ramaustin,
rockhag and
rubylou_presley.
