linstar A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".
1. I hate bees. I know they are a very important creature environmentally speaking, but it doesn't stop me from hating them. We've had a long history in our love-hate relationship (they love me, I must taste like pollen, I hate them for always stinging me), and this rose to a peak last year when one stung me on the ass when I was getting into my bed, as it was hidden in my bedsheets. Yes, I am the crazy person who will cross the road to avoid a flowery bush with the busy bees all hovering, and I will run screaming from the garden if one comes too close. :P
2. Even though I am essentially a "pigsty functional" person, I have a few of my OCD quirks which I have... This includes the direction of the toilet paper, the way all the light switches have to face, etc. Yes, I have caught myself almost turning peoples toilet paper around when I am a visitor, or even in public toilets. I like to think of it as another reason why I am special. :P
3. I always sleep in the nude. This isn't a kinky thing for me, but a functional thing. Pyjamas and I are not fast friends. I don't mind wearing them to bed, but they always try to kill me. I move around a LOT in my sleep, and whenever clothed I always wake up in the middle of the night with my top half strangling me and my hands still stuck in the sleeve ends. It's never been functional, so I gave up the idea of entertaining the notion a long time ago. The only time I wear them is when I am sleeping over, or in hospital or something.. and I feel safe then because there are others around to protect me from my pyjamas when the need arises. :)
4. I always put my left shoe on first. It's a superstition I have that putting my right shoe on first will bring me bad luck throughout the day. If for some reason my right shoe does accidentally go on first, I will go to the effort of taking everything off and starting all over again.
5. I was the Captain of the Debating Team at school, and was also an active member of the Chess Club.
6. I studied Child Psychology for a year. This has done nothing for my ability to raise my six year old. It has, however, improved my ability to hurl abuse at all "super nanny" styled shows. So all in all, it was a year well spent of study. :P
7. I suffer a lot from insomnia but I love sleep. I love feeling all warm and under my doona, safe. When I was a child, my bed was on wheels, because I shared a room with my Grandma and my bed was in front of the wardrobe. Every night I used to roll the doona around myself, and I would slide between the wardrobe and the bed, and sleep in my "cocoon" between the two items of furniture. I felt safest there. Sometimes I still think I'd do that as an adult, if I could get away with it. :)
That's all from me... if you've been tagged by me, you will appear in my "tags".
