Seven Quirks, by way of jlrpuck...
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.
Well, here goes...

1) Until I was fifteen, I'd never said a proper curse word. I preferred to use - without irony - such shocking terms as "Golly gee", "Tarnation", and the perennial favorite, "Oh, crickets." Then I went away to an all-girls boarding school, where my mind was thoroughly corrupted and has remained so ever since.
2) I am compulsively superstitious. I knock on wood, throw salt over my shoulder, kiss my hand and slap the ceiling of the car whenever I drive through a yellow light. I pretend it's half-joke, half-habit, until I say something stupid in a room where all the tables are made of formica, and then casually proceed to flip the fuck out. (See fact #1)
3) People never believe me when I say I am terrible at Scrabble, but it's the God's honest truth - I am far too ambitious to play that damn game. I get so fixated on playing impossible words that I absolutely do not have the letters for ("I'm not putting down a single tile until I get the second 'r' I need for 'garrulous'!") that I just lose every time. Miserably. My dyslexic teenage cousin loves playing against me, and who can blame her? She wipes the floor with me every time.
4) When I made this same cousin watch Doctor Who, she turned to me during the Doctor's "Who am I?" speech in The Christmas Invasion and said, "That's exactly how you sound all the time." I was quite flattered until she clarified: "Like a babbling idiot." (She was still a bit cranky because I hadn't told her about regeneration before we watched Parting of the Ways. Who knew she'd get so attached?)
5) I anthropomorphize the following: shoes, buttons, numbers, buses, and street lamps.
6) I have an unfortunate laugh.
7) I cannot resist a dare. Over the years, I have, in the name of pride and for the sake of my timé, gone to lecture in the buff, nearly electrocuted myself, run from stampeding cattle, and eaten an entire plastic comb. If my friend hadn't almost immediately redacted one particular dare, I may very well have agreed to feature in some low-quality French pornography. (You meet the most fascinating people in Paris.)
Ta da! This is me, in a nutshell.

All righty, then. I tag...kudzita, eponymous_rose, tsukara, kesshin_shinobu, orange_crushed, new friend biggrstaffbunch, and randombattlecry. If, you know, you guys are interested.
