5 Weird Habits meme
Ground rules: the first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a lj entry about their 5 weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. in the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names. I was tagged by pixeeatplay.
1. I'm afraid of heights. Even when I'm playing EQ, I'm afraid of my *character* falling and will have a panic attack about it. But IRL, I'm okay if there's a harness involved (so yes to bungee jumping, no to skydiving), railing, or other instrument that I can hold onto that is just touching the surface that I don't want to fall from. I have a feeling my body will throw itself off of a cliff if I get too close to the edge.
2. I love to sew, but I hate: cutting out patterns, hemming, hand-sewing, pinning fabric together, sewing small seams, any tailoring or alterations of store-bought items. In other words, I love sewing big sections of fabric together, and the rest is annoying details. I guess it makes me feel as though I accomplished a lot in a short amount of time.
3. I have the ability to *precisely* memorize and quote random things. Such as Vogon poetry. And the Principia Discordia.
4. For some reason, I'm really good at noticing random mistakes in shows and movies the first time I see them. Like how in Dangerous Beauty, her hairstyle goes from being over one shoulder to being over the other for a shot, then goes back to being over the first shoulder during her first time out. Or in The Crow when the bird (it's actually a raven) flaps and flies away according to the sound, but its shadow doesn't move from the banister. Or how in Babylon 5, the door that's supposed to be labelled "SECURITY" is missing the I and is really labelled "SECURTY." ktok said he watched that episode a million times and never noticed it...but I caught it the first time I saw it.
5. I eat my meals one item at a time: usually veggies first, then my meat, then my starch. Save the best for last, I guess. Unless there's an item that's REALLY good and must be eaten hot, like macaroni and cheese. Then it gets eaten first, probably so I have an excuse to get seconds later without someone saying, "But you already have some on your plate!" But that's only a theory.
Oh! And I tag:
