Seven Quirks Meme


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"


Here we go:

1) I enjoy young adult fiction (from when I was a young adult), probably far more than someone in their late twenties should.
2) I will play a song over and over just so I can sing along.
3) I get paranoid if I can't remember locking the door.
4) I have a soft spot for stupid comedies of the 80s.  (Clue, Airplane, Naked Gun, etc...)
5) I love to take pictures of flowers.
6) I love to read cookbooks when I can't sleep.
7) When I'm bored at meetings at work, I practice writing out words in Russian.

Since I'm feeling craptacular, I'm just gonna answer the questions:

1) I love ketchup on a lot of food! If I don't have any, I will pout about it
2) I have a bad habit of gossiping about people who are stupid.
3) I don't like being alone. It's hard for me to sleep at night when I'm alone.
4) I'm a HUGE fan of the anime Sailor Moon. I have a lot of wallscrolls that I put on the bedroom walls.
5) I like to play video games, especially from the Final Fantasy series.
6) I consider my pets my "babies".
7) I have a habit of giving close friends nicknames.

I've got some books to return to the downtown library on Monday. I've been craving the Little House books, so I'm going to see if I can check out the whole series.

I like to read cookbooks, too.

When I lived on Decelles Street in Montreal, I couldn't go to bed unless I visually confirmed the door was locked, even though the house had been built during the 30s when metal was rationed in Montreal, so if the door wasn't locked, it'd pop open.

I'm not one to tag others, but here are some quirks of mine:
1. I sort M&Ms by colors, then I make piles with one of each in them. If I have extras, they get eaten first.
2. I have a major Barbara Cartland novel collection in storage. I used to read them in numerical order.
3. I have named all of my computers/iPods/storage devices/routers after characters on the TV show Farscape.
4. I'm grossed out by snails and slugs, but snakes, lizards, and tarantulas are cool.
5. My hobbies all have massive stashes (books, yarn, beads).
6. I make the sign of the cross when I see emergency vehicles.
7. If I see more than 2 minutes of any variety of "Law & Order", I have a 80% chance of getting sucked into the vortex, even if I've seen the episode before.

Seven, eh? And nowhere does it say they must be little-known quirks. Heh.

1) I have an Unnatural Relationship with fresh fruit, especially mangoes, peaches, and really good strawberries.
2) My hobbies include turning FTL stardrive concepts into time machines...and then grumbling about it.
3) I have *absolutely no* sense of direction, and can get lost in my own neighborhood.
4) My first reaction upon meeting [livejournal.com profile] desert_vixen IRL was amazement at how much she looked like my sister at that age.
5) I have been called The Universal Flirt--by someone who had witnessed me interacting with dogs and babies. (Still not quite sure what to think of that....)
6) I read bedtime stories out loud. To my 17-year-old.
7) I once made chicken noises onstage with Shari Lewis and her handpuppet Lambchop. Even as a twelve-year-old, my primary reaction was 'she wears WAY too much makeup and perfume!'
