superlib for this one.
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 eat most of my foods separately. Most kids grow out of the phase of not wanting their food to touch, but I never really did -- I do have a few exceptions, and I like casseroles, but I don't like having stroganoff sauce on my green beans. I'm really finicky about rice: either butter or curry on it, nothing else. And don't even get me started about white rice in soup.
2. I dislike washcloths. Something about the damp, warm heaviness squicks me, and combined with the fact that they always seem to smell like sweat... bleah. I have a scratchy-towel for scrubbing, which is much better.
3. I memorize the music I listen to. I suppose most people do -- but I do it to the point that live performances bother me severely, because the timing isn't right, and the lead singer's voice isn't cracking at that one spot before the bridge, and the tuning of the instruments is different. There is a certain way that it runs through my head, and if the outside music does not conform to the internal recording, I get very uncomfortable.
4. I have to do craftwork if someone is reading to me. When someone is reading to me, rather than in an interactive conversation, I get caught up in the tone of voice and enunciation (if the voice is interesting, otherwise my mind wanders much further) and lose track of the meaning of what they're saying. Books on tape have never been good for me. For that matter, if I ever get a professor who doesn't let me knit in lecture, I'm going to be in serious trouble... knitting gives the "details" part of my mind something repetitive to pay attention to, and the parser portion can then absorb the meaning below the words.
5. I can't sleep in a bed where the top sheet has been tucked in, I have to pull it out. For that matter, I don't generally sleep with a top sheet anymore; I always woke up in the middle of the night to find it bunched around my neck. Given the uselessness of that, I sleep these days with just a couple of comforters -- three in winter. That's two bonus weird habits for you: I sleep under a comforter even in the dead of summer, and I can't fall asleep unless I have something (like a comforter) tucked under my chin.
I have to tag people? hmm. How aboutfoogod, kitabare, packy, knaveofhearts, and pusifoot.
