1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."


1. I have a list of food rules that make sense solely to me, and from which I rarely deviate despite constant harrasment by friends and family. I am never going to eat lamb. Really. Seriously. Or predators. For different reasons.

2. When I leave the house in the morning, I tell the cats to not destroy the universe. So far it's worked. I used to tell them not to destroy my stuff, but it makes little sense to give them rules they're clearly not capable of following.

3. I have a running commentary in my head at all times. When I'm comfortable with people, the commentary gets intermittently switched to "spoken" as opposed to "internal." I apologize to those who know me and have learned to live with this. I also have a tendency to lose words when I'm speaking outloud because of this phenomenon, leaving me drifting somewhere between thinking and speaking coherently.

4. I remember things about movies, whether I've seen them or not, that I simply don't need to know. I remember where I've seen just about everything. Name a movie, and if I saw it, I'll be able to tell you where. This is not a useful skill.

5. I spend a whole lot of time feeling myself up for professional reasons, and occasionally, this migrates into unintentional feeling myself up in public. (Bellydance costumes, ballet costumes, swim suits, etc. all have played a large role in my life, and all involve the hoist, shift and settle school of breast adjustment.)

6. If it wouldn't rapidly increase my laundry load, or cause me other problems, I'd NEVER wear any sort of undergarment - bra, underwear, socks, etc. Moving to LA and giving up stockings/nylons/tights was one of my best choices.

7. I don't move when I sleep. I settle, fall asleep and stay there like a rock until I wake up to roll over. One would think that this would make me a good sleeping partner. One would be wrong. I have trouble falling asleep. I also tend to migrate away from the edge of the bed while simultaneously pulling the covers further and further towards the mattress on the side I'm laying on, leaving whomever else is in the bed both bereft of covers and near to rolling off. Unless of course, it's just the cat, and then I migrate around him.

Tagging [livejournal.com profile] rubberneck, [livejournal.com profile] cretkid, [livejournal.com profile] fbf, [livejournal.com profile] kernezelda, [livejournal.com profile] electricland (sorry babe, since Kath isn't here to hassle, you're her proxy), [livejournal.com profile] projectjulie, and [livejournal.com profile] iamsab. (As at least half these users are busy or doing LJ-lite these days, I don't feel bad tagging them:)

Also, I like the "Ten things I love that start with a letter" meme, so feel free to toss me a letter!

#2 is especially fine. I wonder if you could put in a call to Indigo while you're at it....because these days he really looks to be planning trouble. ;)

Ps. Gah, stockings....they're evil things.

Hee - I have seen the pictures of that cat. He is totally planning world domination. Plus Buffalo:)

Hee! Oh my gods, you're right. Some day I'll come home and he'll have struck out on his own to collect more buffalo.

...While humming "home on the range".

I already did this one! but it was only 6, in those days, so here's a bonus 7th item:

g) I have an irrational attachment to the subjunctive tense. blah blah living language-cakes and all that, I know, and it's not like I never let it slide myself. but anytime I can say/write "if only it WERE..." I'm very happy.

no obligation here, but if you want another letter I pick P...

I looooove the subjunctive (and hee - best thing I teach all of my Latin students. It's a Mood, not a Tense:) I love the idea of language having moods. Subjunctive is sort of wistful and precise:)

I get ultra frustrated when people don't use it:) (But it's an internal frustration, a correction of their grammar in my head that would be HORRIBLE if said out loud:)

And I'm happy to do another letter!
