I was tagged by [profile] angrybunnyman and [profile] labelle77 for this meme so I guess I'll do it. Grrr. Wait, I think I may have already done this one, hold on.... I did! But it was only for 6 habits/quirks/facts. Since my audience was much smaller back then (6-11-06), I will repeat some, if they are still true.

List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
Tag seven people to do the same.


1) I like to say and sing absolute nonsense. Non-contextual words like aeropuerto, lamb and monkey; gibberish like shim, blurm, and kahlamb; nonsensical names like saying, "Cheeseburger Mountaintop, it's time to get up!" when I wake Ethan in the morning; and of course, the singing, like, "I talked to a shoe/all covered in dew/who said do you chew/a hole in my aaaaaarm?"

2)
Sometimes I will half-wake-up in the middle of the night, analyze my dreams, memorize a one or two sentence summary of the meaning and then go back into deep sleep. When I awaken, I won't be able to remember my dreams at all, but I'll have a sentence in my head like, "Stop repressing your emotions, you're building up Reichian armor."

3) I play the Pokemon card game and I enjoy it. Especially when I make the noises the Pokemon would make, complete with sound effects. Piiiii-ka-CHOOOOOO!

4) When someone is being a hypocrite or ignorant, I will humorously point out the ridiculousness of that exact behaviour in another person or situation and then get the person to make fun of themselves. I take great delight in this.

5) I wear my iPod but keep the volume off so that I can listen to other people's conversations and they will think I can't hear them. I bet a lot of people do this. What a loser I am.

6) I judge towns and city neighborhoods by the quality of the graffiti in the bathrooms of the establishments I visit. Coffee shops with literary puns for graffiti gets a much higher rank than gang scrawl or offers for a good time encouraging me to call 555-DICK.

7) When I am driving around, (not in the taxi, but my own vehicle) if the same car, especially if it's an "official" or "government" or "police" type of vehicle, has been following me for more than a couple blocks, especially as I near my house, I will purposely take a strange route, circle a block, stop at a store, et cetera in order to "lose them." It's not that I'm seriously paranoid, but rather it's paranoia-for-fun.

Tagged are: [profile] _remains, [personal profile] anima, [profile] explodingalice, [profile] ghostwes, [profile] strangedasein, [profile] sweetafton23, & [personal profile] blackbuttoneyes.  I don't care if you do it or not.  I am merely upholding the rules of the meme.  If it were not for rules, society would disintegrate benheath our feet and land on our heads and I'll be no part of that, no siree bob.

I've done the headphones thing, but only because I thought peeps were talking shit about ME.

Yeah. I'm not sure why but people often gossip about everything I do at work. I've never been able to figure out what's so fascinating about it... I just do my work... but whatever. Not my problem.

Hellz yes! Paranoia-for-fun. It's WAY better than paranoia-for-real.

Did you make that up yourself?

It's a collage I made mostly from other people's collages.

Absolutely, anytime!

I too kill the volume on my iPod to eavesdrop. Also, I leave my headphones in when I'm phlogging (wandering with my camera) so that, in the event that I piss someone off when taking their picture, I can ignore them as if I simply don't hear them.

Ever see John Waters' Pecker? The movie, not his plumbing.

I have seen it. The movie. I recall liking it but don't recall anything besides the subject of the award winning photo.

I'll reserve comment about various appendages.

i relate to #1 in a huge way.
pants. wheetabix. bifurcator. radish. i tend to get into a rhythm whilst washing dishes, and if i come across a rhyme, i will let it go on forever. i cannot say that this is one of my other half's favourite things about me.

YAY! Another gibberisher. I worry every so often because these are symptoms of a schizotypal personality, but then I think, Hey, that's cool with me :)

Posted the link in my LJ where I did this recently. :)

1, 4, and 5 are great quirks and made me smile to read them.

I love *good* graffiti. I am not a fan of the hastily scrawled gang tags, either, but some good art or social commentary is something I always enjoy. There's quite a bit of good stuff downtown - I scan for it from the train when I'm not in a good reading seat.

I too like "good" graffiti but for the most part, it's just unsightly :( Maybe the taggers in WI are just lame :D
