Because she 'asked' ever so sweetly! (And her answers were ever so sweet.) I've done this sort of thing before, but I'll try to not repeat answers..so I'll try to do habits or quirks rather than facts.

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

1. I never watch people leave.
When I was a child, I used to sit at the window, watch my mom leave after a visit, and cry for what seemed like hours. Eventually I stopped this self-torture, and even now I will almost never acknowledge that someone I love is leaving. I will hug you goodbye, and then I will turn my back and walk away myself. I will NOT watch you leave me.

2. I make wishes on haybales and dandelion seed fluffs. Usually it's the same wish. (No, it hasn't come true...but I still hope.)

3. When I see pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns, I am very likely to yell, "PUMPKINPUMPKINPUMPKIN!!" (This is entirely Jen Riviezzo's fault.)

4. If I pass by a person walking their dog, I will say hi to the dog and generally barely acknowledge the dog's owner. (It's not intentional; it's just the way my brain works.)

5. I am much happier in general when I am able to sleep between two bodies. (Yes, two cats count.)

6. I am perhaps much too torn between being 'prudish Victorian' in my thoughts about sex and wanting to act on many a varied impulse. 'Prudish Victorian' nearly always wins out. ("GET BACK IN THE BAG, MONKEYBONE!")

7. Nearly every night, I go to sleep convinced that tomorrow will be the day I wake up early and get a good fresh jumpstart on my day. So I set my alarm for 7AM or 6AM or whatever I think will be the magical time for me to awaken. And every morning, I hit snooze for about 2 hours. (Whether this is a habit, quirk, or just proof of my insanity, I'm not sure.)

I'm not tagging anyone.
..Because I'm a friggin' PIRATE, that's why!

ya know.. I had a lover in college that taught me something about "goodbye" which was that the world is too small and if you include the afterlife and that we frequently meet again even in other lifetimes ..its "never" goodbye .. its always, "until we meet again"..:)

I'm gona take this one up just cause..:) (ok it spoke to the pirate in me, an old SCA persona grins).

Very interesting.

It's the exact opposite for me, because I had this very strange notion when I was a kid that people stopped existing when they were out of my sight. Making sure I waved them off from the front porch [our whole family did that ritual] seemed to "keep them real" in my little head because I would remember having waved to them.

Definitely tied up in my head with the fact that my father got home from work most nights at 9PM, hours after I went to bed.
