anasuede tagged me for that 10 things meme and, because I do anything she says -

MEME RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.



1.) I'll dip any potato chip into any sort of frosting/icing but I really like Martin's BBQ potato chips dipped into the cream cheese frosting. The only exception is:

2.) I'm allergic to chocolate. No, really. Never really cared for it as a child and then I finally got diagnosed with the allergy. So, basically, I don't eat chocolate and I never get a craving for it.

3.) I hate lettuce. Seriously. It's disgusting. It tastes metallic. If I'm going to be tasting metal, I'll just lick my fork, kthx?

4.) I have hairy toes and arches. I shave/wax/pluck all the time but they're there... big ugly black hairs.

5.) When I write, I have to win two games of Spider Solitaire or all my ideas freeze up in my head.

6.) I think of most of my story ideas in the bathroom.

7.) I am phobic about bugs... as in, I've passed out and woken up at the hospital because I had ants crawling up my arm. I'm especially bad about "swarming" insects (like ants and bees and such). I have, however, lived with snakes, lizards and tarantulas.

8.) When I get pulled over (and yes, it happens about once a year), I turn instantly stupid. It's like my brain disappears when the lights go on. I also cry but it's not to get out of the ticket. I'm just a cryer. When I get stressed? Cry. When I get mad? Cry. When I'm happy? Cry. The cops normally see the tears and back away slowly.

9.) My big toes click with every step I take. I can also roll my tendons in my hips and shoulders and my veins in my hands. I can make the veins in the back of my hand stay over the tendon and completely out of place.

10.) I talk to myself in the car. It's a habit I developed driving cross country a gadzillion times... all by myself. I pretend I'm talking to someone else and I can hear their end of the conversation but, duh, no one is there. I also do this when I can't fall asleep right away. I imagine myself in a situation and talk myself to sleep. (I feel like such a dork admitting that last one) When I was a kid, I'd imagine myself as a Jedi or something. Go ahead and laugh at it... you're allowed. *glares*



I was supposed to do this big presentation today. I was really prepared for it. I even had HANDOUTS!!!! I had cost savings graphs and cost:benefit ratio graphs and all kinds of stuff. So what happens? My boss cancels my presentation to do his own about our Annual Audit. Ok, so the Annual Audit is a BFD but still... so is my presentation that's going to result in a cost savings of about 8k a year while adding loads and loads of new features, darnit!

Your wierd things are quite amusing. :D Especially 8 - cause I'm like that too. *L* I'll cry at the drop of a hat, and damn it's annoying!

It's awful and so embarrassingly girly, isn't it? You're in a meeting, trying to argue for a raise or whatever... and BAM! WATERWORKS! ARGH, I hate that.

[annella.livejournal.com]

GOD YES. And my waterworks aren't limited to being sad/stressed/put upon... I cry when I'm happy, when other people are happy, when I'm tired, when I laugh too hard, and most annoyingly, they even water when I'm lying on my back in bed trying to read. *growls*

Dear Clone,
6, 8, and 10 are true of me too.
♥, Ash
PS: You already know about 1 and 3.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Dear Actual Clone,

I ♥ you too.
Love, wook

I totally do number ten too. Except I also do it when I have issues with another person, but I don't want to talk to them about it.

:)

[wook77.livejournal.com]

OMG, I yell at them in my car if I'm really really mad. It's awful. I pretend that I'm on the phone and have my earpiece very very visible so that the other cars think I'm on a cellphone. I heard that Ally McBeal (whoever the actress really is) does the same thing so I think we're in really good company :).

SPIDER SOLITAIRE!!! I'm totally addicted. Play all the time.

I talk to myself a lot. I'm pretty sure that's a product of living alone for so long. When I bore myself I start poking people on chat.

Potato chips and cream cheese frosting?? Um...

I want a card...you have my addy right?

[corvidae9.livejournal.com]

omg, it takes an act of god for me to cry. :P so when you see me all whacked out, you know there's a really compelling reason. :D

Potato chips in frosting? Wow. Dude, I'll try anything once, but wow. ok. :P

10 - ... um. I sort of do that sometimes, especially since the radio in my car died. Therefore, you find no judgement here. ♥

Where do you work? :)

I have a few weird things in common with you. I don't like chocolate, though I do get a craving once in a blue moon. And the annoying black hair? *nods* I don't mind bugs in general, but worms are my thing. I love snakes, ironically, but worms kill me. And yeah, I have these conversations with myself all the time no one is around. I imagine the weirdest things. :D Nothing weird about that. ;)

If you want a Christmas card, which I will be sending soon, please e-mail me your address, or drop it into this protected entry:

If you're not comfortable yet because we haven't known each other all that long, just tell me, I don't mind. :)
