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."

note from me - y'all know how I feel about tagging, so nyeh. Flagrantly disobeying both b and c. Now on to more important things.

1. I talk to myself, or to inanimate objects. Generally this is limited to cursing out recalcitrent computers, but I notice I keep up a running Howard Cosell like commentary on my current activities when I'm out by myself.

2. I am a big picker. I worry at scabs, dry skin, clogged pores, hangnails, my hair. The two times I've gotten a sunburn, I was gleefully occupied for weeks. I also bite my nails but only when I feel like they've gotten too long and I don't have a nail file handy. Or if I'm real nervous, like when I sheared everything off to the quick waiting for a plane on Monday.

3. I can be a little OCD about how I do certain things. When I eat, I eat around the plate - veggies first, then starch, then meat. I don't ever mix my food if I can help it. (And you wonder why bento are my favorite things evar.) Same with doing dishes - I will pull out all of the ceramic dishes first, then the glasses, then the plasticware, then finish with the pots and silverware. This tends to result in a lot of crashing and banging. When I clean rooms I tend to go all the way around in a certain direction.

4. I'm a chronic button pusher. I push crosswalk buttons no less than seven times in a row. I jab nervously at elevator buttons if I feel like it's taking too long.

5. I hate hearing people eat. Audible chewing of any kind is the one thing that will drive me crazy enough to leave a room.

6. I apparently stick out my lower jaw when I'm intently working on something or reading. sundart calls it my "concentrating face." Everyone except me finds this particular expression hilarious.

7. I abuse inanimate objects that I find objectionable in some way. If it's seriously hideous clothing in a department store, I poke it repeatedly in horror. I tend to stab theoretically edible objects that I dislike with forks or some such.

7. I will do seriously uncalled for things in public. Like try to walk backwards on moving runways, or that time when [livejournal.com profile] sundart was buying her bike in Target and I insisted on test riding it in the store in and out of the empty toy aisles. She and the store staff were really quite scandalized.

...and/or adorable. ;)

Well, really, it was mostly me. I don't think the staff cared.

I did get a few funny looks. You just don't remember because you were too busy being horrified yourself.

Yeah, so I'm catching up on lj....

I remember going to Toys R Us with Tom, way back when we were first dating. As we passed the Barney & Friends dolls, Tom suddenly and without warning delivered a swift kick to a plush Baby Bop...which then proceeded to talk at us.
