almighty_frog! :D Write about five weird/quirky habits you have, then tag five more people to do the same.
1. I play with my hair a lot. I do little plaits, then straighten them out again, or just generally fiddle, constantly. I just generally can't sit still for long, and am always fidgeting.
2. I eat the edges of whatever I'm eating first. I always eat the crusts/edges of sandwiches/cakes/pasties first (you end up with an Australia-shaped piece of bread), because then you're left with the interesting filling part, with less of that boring bread/pastry. Even meals, I tend to eat from the outside in, cos they're a better temperature that way. I also like to eat things (like tarts and biscuits) upside down.
3. I'm really fussy about the music I listen to. If I don't *know* what I want to have on, I'd rather listen to nothing than put the wrong thing on. Hence, though I love music, I'm often not listening to any. (That and, most of my music is on old-fashioned CDs, which are that bit less accessible than digital stuff.)
4. I love to smell things. If I walk past flowers, I have to sniff them; also in candle shops etc, I have to smell every different scent.
5. I love alphebetising things. I don't *need* to have things in order - I'm actually a really untidy person - but I find the act of alphebetising somehow soothing. I've always liked sorting things out and putting "families" of things together, like putting all the "relaxing" classical CDs together at work, and then all the British ones, and then making sure all the choral collections are in the right place... Ahhhh.
...They weren't especially exciting or unusual, but there you go. I'm sure I could think of some weirder ones if I tried... You've probably all already done this, but I tag:
perspexflowers
sublimeparadigm
sarinthesky
zalia
athousandwinds
Saw March of the Penguins today, which was probably not the most exciting film ever, but man those bay penguins were cute. *_* The Showroom were giving out free Penguins too. :9 Mmm, tastes likechicken chocolate.
Also had our house Christmas on Friday, which I for one enjoyed a great deal! I thought everything turned out really as well as I could have hoped, and I can't ask for more than that! ^__^ I was proud of how all the food turned out, if I say so myself, and hey, it's what I think that counts, right? I've also bought a lot of Christmas pressies recently, and I must say a huge thank you tozalia for the present! :D :D :D I've been very lucky this year, but also very behind, so I think there's a lot of people I meant to get/do things for and haven't yet. >.<;; New Year cards/presents OK with everyone? ^^;;
Back to work tomorrow too. *shudder*
