Matty Blackfive has tagged me with the Meme "5 Weird Habits" so... here goes... ya'll asked for it...
1. I wear a pair of hefty black boots to work everyday...rain or shine... every day. People are always looking at me like I'm prepping for the coming invasion. You never know when you'll need to engage in a little office combat...
2. I use chopsticks for every possible task I can think of. In fact, I have probably just as many pair of chopsticks as I do forks. Some I use in my hair, others are for eating, and others are for cooking. I knew I was weird when my Chinese friend came over for holiday dinner at my house and tilted her head crooked while she watched me cook. I was scrambling eggs in a rice bowl for a Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner, with chopsticks... and even the Chinese immigrant looked at me funny... Fine, it's weird.
3. All the women will hate me for this one... I have a habit of training myself into disliking foods that I know I shouldn't be eating. I can't manage to train myself out of chocolate but I did manage to effectively wipe pizza and lasagna off the menu. They still taste good, but I have to make myself want to eat them now.
4. In keeping with the food theme... I've grossed a lot of people out with this one. The Scandinavian crowd will be with me on this one though... I think. I like to eat pancakes with a thin layer of sour cream on them. And if you put a thin layer of blackberry jam on top of that... MMMmmm, boy is it yummy! You get sweet and savory, hot and cold... Damn, now I'm hungry...
5. I'm a dancing fool. Not the kind that has all kinds of impressive moves... the kind that does it all the time (so long as no one is looking). I rock out at my desk while writing papers blogging. I listen to country and I can't help but line dance in my head, even in the shower. I'm constantly singing and dancing in the mirror when I'm having a good day... on a really geeky day I even bring out the cowboy hat and rock out like I'm on a stage... (oh god, did I just admit that?)
And just as a bonus weird habit, how about a non-habit?
... I don't drive ... period. Weird, huh?
So, since I have to tag five other people... I choose
Eric
RSM
The Maximum Leader
Dawn
Buckethead

Posted by: Harvey at December 10, 2005 05:39 PMFine... you got your dirty little wish and I admitted my habits for you. Happy now? Huh? (do I get something out of it too? maybe something to do with boots?)
Posted by: RSM at December 11, 2005 07:06 PMThis is a tough one. By one estimation (my wife's) all my habits are weird. By mine, none are. How can anything I do be weird? Almost by definition, weird is what other people do.
