1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."

1. I have an extra bone in the arch of each foot. It gives me arches so high I can't wear any sandals that don't have a strap because my soles don't have enough surface area in contact with the shoe to grip properly, and the shoes just fall right off my feet. Because of this the way my weight is distributed across the middle of my feet is also fucked up, and I've broken small bones in them more times than I can count.

2. I once met Timothy Leary for about five seconds. I was staff at a pagan festival where he was speaking and I just happened to walk into the main house while he was there. He told me he liked my t-shirt.[1]

3. My father claims we are related to one of the guys who kidnapped St Patrick.

4. I can't watch those horrendous sit-coms where there is some kind of misunderstanding or where people aren't telling each other the truth or whatever. My face gets hot with sympathetic embarrassment and I start to squirm so badly I have to get up and away from the televsion. I get really physically uncomfortable.

5. When I was a kid I always wanted to be a vet. When I went to university all my relatives where shocked that I never ended up going to the vet college.

6. I can't eat anything with cooking onions in it. I like the taste just fine, but chewing on them feels exactly like biting down on tinfoil. So whenever I make anything with cooking onions in the recipe, I stick 'em in the blender first. Spring onions have a completely different texture so they don't bother me at all.

7. I can't stand rough edges on my skin and I will tear them off with my teeth or nails. It's so compulsive I often don't even realizing I'm doing it. I tear off insect bites, spots, warts, skin tags - if I catch a fingernail on something I have to wrap it in a bandaid if I want it to last long enough to get home where I can take a file to it.

[1] "I grew up in a dysfunctional family and all I got was this lousy t-shirt".

Hrm, who do I want to tag? How about [livejournal.com profile] okoshun, [livejournal.com profile] ravensee, [livejournal.com profile] meetzemonsta, [livejournal.com profile] spikella, [livejournal.com profile] d269330400, [livejournal.com profile] excess_and_oohs, and just for the hell of it, [livejournal.com profile] the_axel.

(Now I just have to get caught up enough to read them.)
