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!

If you all want christmas cards from me that will include silly photos of my dogs - give me your address here. Still not a stalker, I promise.
