Hokay… so I was tagged by last_highlander. Lucky me.

Rules: Write down ten things about yourself that’s a habit, weird or unknown to your friends, and tag other people so that they can do the same. You’re not allowed to tag the person who tagged you and you must state the rules on your entry so that tagged people know how to play.

I. I like cold water. I’ll repeatedly ask whomever I’m with if there is cold [drinkable] water where we’re going, even though I know it annoys them after about the tenth time they’ve said “yes.”

II. If something is mine or in “my part of the house,” it needs to be just so. I get disturbed when someone reads a book or magazine of mine and doesn’t put it back exactly where it was on the shelf or table.

III. Loose human hair freaks me out. It’s okay as long as it’s attached to someone, but if it’s just lying on the bed or floor, I can’t stand it. Interestingly, my freak-out-ness doesn’t apply to animal hair, although if it looks too much like human hair, it could.

IV. I have chronic, crippling back pain that sometimes forces me to sleep on the floor so that I can get to sleep at all. I saw a chiropractor for it for a while last year, who shook his head and “tsk tsk”ed every time I went to see him, but then the money ran out for non-emergency health problems, so I stopped going. In any case, if you find me sleeping on the floor, don’t be offended–it’s not you, it really is me.

V. I avoid picking up and/or speaking with someone on the phone as much as possible. I’d much rather speak in person or online, not this weird intermediary that I have to pay full attention to but am still in my own house for.

VI. Yes, I actually do have a living will. I know that sounds odd and possibly morbid, since I’m only 22, but I want to make sure I don’t end up like Terri Schiavo. If you want a copy, or want help creating your own, let me know; I’m on a mission to make sure that personal wishes are adhered to in time(s) of crisis.

VII. I really really REALLY like pretty stamps. Not the collectors’ kind, but stamps that I can use to send mail and brighten someone else’s day, too!

VIII. I’m afraid of children. I don’t know how else to put this, but I struggle with my adoration of them (especially the cute ones!) and my utter fear of harming them. It’s really bad… even forced me to decide against having children of my own, even though no one believes me when I say that.

IX. I was the chair of a statewide grassroots advocacy organization before I turned 18. And it wasn’t just any state… California State, thankyewverymuch.

X. More than 75% of the people I’ve slept with have been men, but generally the women have been more memorable.

I tag: kimmira and mib24601… should they feel so inclined.
