1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."
1) I still play the don't step on the crack/walk up stairs ending on the right foot games.
2) I love cracking my knuckles and wrists and do so in various pauses or when I'm bored.
3) I HATE and detest putting my hair in a ponytail. There's just something to me that needs to have something going on on the sides. Pigtails, I can do. I just really hate having my head just be my face and not a combo of my face and hair. I dunno, I just have this thing for hair.
4) Sometimes I enjoy picturing mangled bodies, like with bones sticking out and ligaments flapping around just to come to terms with the fact that things like that actually happen.
5) I like to conduct social experiments...upon myself. It's fun to live out a day or so to test out a theory.
6) I tend to think of anything I see in photoshop terms. "Hmm...if we could get a little motion blur in the corner there, then selective coloring out the red..." And it'll be to something like the sky or my friend's hair.
7) I love things that people immediately shift aside as "too fug" or "too dark" or "too eccentric". Sometimes the most inspiration comes from those things. Or as the best photography subjects. I dwell on extremes.

Today I went to the Scottish Games with some friends. It's basically like a gathering of the clans, mini-olympics but of Caber Tossing and Weight-Over-The-Bar, re-enactments, medieval/clothes/jewelry/clothes shops, highland dancing, sheepdog trials, and British food. ^^ It was pretty cool.
Seeing that I'm probably Scottish in my blood somewhere (ummm...yay, white Europeans?! :P) I fit right in, lol. And two of the group I went with are Asian. :P They were constantly looking for somebody else that was Asian there. We did end up seeing a few...because this IS California. Anyways, we got there around 1 and ate some really, really delicious Shepherd's Pies. Seriously, I need a meat pie and pasty restaurant to be in my town. Oh, British food that I miss. We did end up eating another round of meat pies and fish and chips later. ^^ We went and saw lots of weight-over-the-bar events and plenty of caber tosses. I actually learned how each one works too, haha. My friend's dad competes in them sometimes, so she was explaining the rules to us. From there, we went to this battle re-enactment. Scottish vs. the British, of course. *whispers* I was rooting for the British. ;) The Scots won, naturally, because this is the Scottish games and it is indeed rigged. The whole day I was rolling my eyes and saying: oh, those crazy Scots. They are such the butt of jokes, aren't they? Well they don't exactly make it very hard. :P We saw plenty of interesting characters. So there's this game that these guys made up on our Europe trip, where you shout "He's on your team" if you see an ugly person. The goal, I guess, is to get as many crazily ugly people on the other person's team as possible. There's no winning, it's just the joy of the hunt, methinks. So, needless to say, there were many shouts of "Your team!" over the course of the day." And the weather was about 110 degrees out there. >.< We made sure to get plenty of water bottles and ice cream. Oh, and my friend and I got matching ear cuffs. We'll show em off during tennis when I actually wear my hair in a ponytail. Oi....
After the games, we all went over to my friend's house and watched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I like the movie. Dorian Grey is so much more fun to imagine as the most beautiful subject in literature. The film version of him did him some justice at least. You know, I tried to read that book...but I couldn't get past the narrator's seething obsession with the beauty of youth! Aye caramba... I might have to re-borrow it and just finish it already. I love Wilde's quotes too! Why'd he have to go ruin it with such a disturbing obsession? Anyways, I love the movie. Vampires are amazing. Vampiresses, especially. You know, I got to thinking, but didn't want to lark out with the thought: what would it be like to kiss a vampire? Are their teeth always that sharp, or what? Haha. And Sean Connery's movie performances will forevermore be tainted by the SNL jeopardy sketches. Lol, the pen is mightier. That was another thought I refrained from shouting out. Man, I must be one silent movie partner. But we all know there's plenty being thought, lol. After that we saw...something with The Rock in it. The one about the chef who collects money from these guys that borrowed from rich people in order to raise money for his restaurant. It was just ok. I was too busy playing with my friend's 3 year old brother. Funny kid. I kept telling him to go attack everyone else. :P
Tomorrow's all about sleeping in and doing homework. If I get anything else done, it will be a treat. ^^ After all, what else should you do on Labor Day but labor? ;) And I really do have a ton of homework. *le sigh* Two AP classes...I'm insane, I tell you.
