Habits, and such

Because [livejournal.com profile] 8elements tagged me... I, of course, don't have any weird habits. (hee!)

The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "Five Weird Habits About Yourself" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their five queer/weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and list their names.

1. I set my alarm to go off 30 minutes to an hour before I actually have any intention of getting out of bed. This allows time for my brain to complete its boot process before I actually have to *do* anything, and keeps me from attempting to function solely with the processes that tend to boot first. This is important because the first functions to come online in the morning are usually (in no particular order) sex drive, sarcasm, anomie, nameless dread, and whimsy.

2. If you ask me to give you a word at random, 6 times out of 10, that word will be "monkey". Don't know why.

3. I find it very difficult to cook without dancing or singing, or both, while cooking. Those of you who know me in the three-dimensional world will immediately understand how ridiculous this is.

4. I don't like having my photograph taken, and seek to avoid it at all times. If I am in a picture, though, almost every time, my head is tilted. I have some sort of deep inability to look straight on at a camera.

5. I sing to the dog, all the time. Mostly, I sing to him about what it means to be a dog. I also sing to inanimate objects, especially those that annoy me.

And who to tag...? I think these folks haven't done this yet:

Hahaha - I hear you!

Yep. And while these are all fine functions in their proper place, having only those five going makes the morning very interesting, and when I say interesting, I mean "inclined to sadism".
