Yay, Nina
tagged me! I love being meme-tagged!
Okay now, only two of these are what I would consider weird "habits," meaning that it's something that I do subconsciously and regularly without realizing it, and it's something that somebody else brought to my attention. The rest are just weird quirks or preferences. G helped me with one of the weird habits, and we've both been cracking up ever since we talked about it last night!
Here we go:
1. [This is the weird habit G told me about]. When I brush my teeth, rather than drink water from a cup to rinse out my mouth, I take my toothbrush, hold it under the faucet, then "slurp" the water from my toothbrush several times to rinse. In G's exact words, "It's as if your toothbrush is a spoon and the water faucet is a delicious bowl of soup, and you're slurping the soup." So now all night and all morning, we've been going, "*Slurp, slurp, slurp* - 'that's good soup!'"
2. I chew ice cream. - This was pointed out to me by my little brother back when we were kids, and I still to this day do it!
3. I sing in a really silly, squeaky voice to my pets and wind up creating special theme songs specific to each pet. Two examples:
3a.My recurring song for MacReady: "He is my Pooky bear...he has the reddest hair... he is so very fair...he wears no underwear...he is my pooo-oooo-oooo-kee bear!"
3b. My "theme song" for Sprite: "Kitty with the white bell-ee! She's my kitty with the white bell-ee! Kitty with the white, kitty with the white, kitty with the white bell-eee!"
4. If I'm really really really scared to watch a movie [like The Exorcist or The Devil's Rejects], I watch the "making of" extras before I watch the movie itself, because it helps me remember that "it's only a movie."
5. I rub Vicks on my nose every night before bed, and every time I'm going to be singing for long periods of time. Whether I have a cold or not, I use Vicks constantly. I'm sure that when I move to a less allergy-ridden state, this habit will change...or will it?
Now then, I tag...Bonnie, Toshya, Cory, Sneffnee and C.C.! [Nina beat me to tagging Nico]!
