7 weird things
Because Cerebel tagged me, here are seven weird things about me. I tried to keep it un-creepy...
1. Whenever I drink from a water fountain, I count my swallows. I can only stop on multiples of 8 or 10 swallows, or, very rarely, 4.
2. Despite being a diehard atheist, one of my prized possessions is a bottle of holy water from the Source at the Virgin Mary’s House in Ephesus.
3. I find reading Wittgenstein arousing.
4. For a brief period of time in my childhood, I used to automatically think of myself in the third person, ie, instead of ‘hey, look, there’s a streetlamp,’ I’d think ‘She walked up to the streetlamp.’
5. I compulsively keep all small shiny objects I find on the street, even if I have no idea what they are. I have a box full of other people’s shiny litter, including several small silver cylinders that look like Lilliputian torpedoes, what looks like a brass bullet casing, and half a plastic golden mardi gras mask.
6. I have an unhealthy fascination with both the physical and psychological aspects of torture.
7. I like to eat spicy curry cold out of the fridge. It tastes hot, but it isn’t, and the gustatory cognitive dissonance that ensues is really very tasty.
