A Thorn-y Question
Dec. 8th, 2005 09:41 amI seem to have been unofficially-but-if-you-want-to tapped by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trollbabe with this meme (hence the inside joke/pun of the title). Therefore, I will proceed with the meme at hand. Oh, and I can't even think of five people this morning, let along five people who wouldn't grumble at me for tagging them, so it shall remain tagless. Play along if you want to.
Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird
habits of yours" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their
5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to
choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.
1. I can't write in the morning. I mean, I can write in my LJ or on a post, but focus enough to make headway on a project? You've got to be kidding me. Just. Doesn't. Happen. Now, late afternoon/evening? I'm all over it. I can write like Ernest Hemingway himself possessed my computer while on a bender, style differences notwithstanding. But mornings just suck for me if I have to write and be productive.
2. I almost never do my dishes the same day. Either a) I get tired from cooking and don't want to deal with it or b) I have only my dishes, and I want to save them up until I can do a full load. I recognize that this is folly. I've even tried to get to where I just go ahead and rinse them or something right afterwards. My success at this can at best be called "mixed." Now, I don't let them sit for more than a day or so, and they don't grow stuff, and it's not long enough for anything to get nasty, but... yeah. Bad Michi.
3. I have a terrible, awful, horrible time breaking habits/starting new ones. I don't know why this is. It took me a year -- A YEAR! -- to get into the habit of working out consistently. I still can't reliably take a medication for more than a week unless it involves pain management, as that's a pretty good reminder that I forgot to take something. And God help me if I do manage to start something that I shouldn't... it almost never goes away. Rewiring my brain is hard.
4. I have a habit of saying "I know" in response to things. Obviously, I didn't know. I couldn't have known, and have probably no one area of my life in which I can point to a similar experience from which I could know. And yet I say it, and some part of me actually believes that I know, likely because it's a logical continuance from things. But extrapolation is not the same as knowing, and certainly not the same as knowing before you tell me. I have no idea how to stop doing that.
5. I sing. I sing a lot. I'm singing a lot more now since I've been laid off, since there's no one I'm likely to bug by doing so. If I'm in a good mood, I'm probably singing. More than likely I do not realize I'm doing it, and will become embarassed if someone comments on it. It just entertains me and keeps me focused on the task at hand. But yeah. A lot. I've gotten better about doing it in public since I became a grownup and realized not everyone likes to be serenaded, but it's still so true. And yes, I do not suck at it. Thank god for small blessings. :)
