Nicked from weaverandom as I am a) bored and b) suffering an insatiable need to communicate just now.

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself (that aren't common knowledge).
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 am wearing a watch today, for the first time in ten years. It feels weird.

2. I think I have mildly OCD tendencies though I've never been diagnosed or anything. I wash my hands too much. If I'm walking and one of my hands brushes a hedge/wall/other person, I have to find sonething to brush my other hand against or I feel out of whack. If there is loose change on a table, I have to stack it up, tails facing up. I could go on and on. Little things. They bug me but don't take over my life although they do get noticeably worse when I'm stressed or upset about something.

3. I have unreasoning fear of sinking ships. Not being on them necessarily. Just...seeing them. Hearing about them. It made watching Titanic extremely difficult. My mother thinks it was triggered by the Zeebrugge Disaster of 1987, which is possible. The fear extends to planes though too, in a lesser way. Anything huge and sinking...ugh. No. I can't say any more because thinking about it is freaking me the hell out.

4. One of my friends once told me that she thought I was mildly autistic because I can add things up so fast. I don't think that's true, I'm just quite quick thinking.

5. If someone offered to give me one talent, I would ask for the ability to sing like Aretha Franklin. Voices like that just blow me away, so much so that I can't express how much. Also because I would love to be able to sing gospel. I frickin' love the sound of gospel.

6. I just ate pancakes even though Pancake Day was yesterday. Do I care? No I do not.

7. I will echo Weaves' point about the phone. I hate the phone. I never pick it up unless I have an idea of who is calling. Only three people have my home number (my mother and two of my mates) because I don't have caller ID - anyone else has to use my mobile so I can see who's trying to talk to talk to me. And I often still wont pick it up because I have to be in the right frame of mind to talk to people. Psych myself up, as it were.
