my disgusting habits!

[verbminx]

Ground Rules: The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yours" and people who get tagged need to write an lj entry about their 5 queer habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "You are tagged" in their lj and tell them to read yours.

1> little_dinosaur, who tagged me, mentioned a habit of talking to passing dogs but not necessarily their owners. I do this too. I say, "Hi, puppy!" in a cheerful voice, and smile.

2> When on the phone with Tom, most calls end, "I love you" "I love you more" "No, I love YOU more" "No, I love YOU more" "No" "Yes" "No" "Yes" etc until someone capitulates.

3> I have never seen anything wrong with sticking my finger in my ear (to scratch it) in public. Sorry.

4> I use antibacterial handcream all the time - basically whenever I've touched anything in public. If I'm shopping I use it upon coming out of the store, and I always use it before eating (when I'm out) and before touching my face in any way.

5> All of my clothes have to be folded a certain way or hung a certain way. For example, shirts have to be hung with the hanger "facing" the left from the front of the shirt. Otherwise they are folded, basically, Gap-style. Socks are laid flat against each other and then folded flat at the heel. Underwear is laid flat, then the crotch is folded up almost to the waistband, then it's folded in thirds (each side brought in towards the middle). Pants are folded in half so the fronts of the legs touch, and then in half again above the knee. I also can't bear to wear clothes out of the house that look "worn" - all my clothes always look clean and relatively new.

Tagged (sorry if I missed it and you've already been; I am running late for something, so I will have to tell you later): suburbangoth, star_power, ragdoll, hilarina, djymm. And anyone else who wants to do it.

I do numbers 1 and 3 as well. Freaks to the end!

Apparently there are some ppl out there who think that #3 is "the same as picking your nose." Whatevs. I need SOME way to elegantly scratch at the eczema in my ear canal. (TMI! TMI!)

[aquagirl.livejournal.com]

I know that my ears are clean, I clean them daily. It's not like we're seriously digging in there, pulling out our fingers and sniffing them. Well, I guess I can't speak for you ;) .

It smells kind of like antibiotics. ;)

No, actually, I use a Q-tip with hydrogen peroxide most days, and often either neosporin or hydrocortisone. It's just because of the stupid eczema... I get flaky skin and it kind of itches. It's particularly bad lately - a hyper-restricted diet for a few months will fix it for a few years.

[aquagirl.livejournal.com]

It's not the hydrogen peroxide causing it?

[verbminx.livejournal.com]

Nooooooo. It's eating wheat and sugar and having massive candidiasis and other health issues. I just use the HP to clean any crusting or scabs. If it's really bad I carefully brush in neosporin or hydrocortisone, but I try to do that sparingly. All of this involves sticking cotton swabs in my ears and I occasionally worry for my hearing, but I'm very careful about how far they go in.

i have so many weird habits i wouldnt know where to start.

I totally talk to dogs, too. Sometimes I stop and talk to the owners but sometimes I dont. I usually say "Hiii!" to the dog, and the smaller the dog is, the higher I pitch my voice.

[verbminx.livejournal.com]

Nine times out of ten the dog will, in comparison to the owner, be friendlier, smarter, and have better social skills.

No, no, I'm kidding. Mostly. I just like to be very nice to doggies I meet.

Just now I have a cat parked on my lap who will not get down. He has not taken to the new cooler winter house temperatures. So, he's decided to spend all his time sitting on the warmest available object, which is usually me. He gets all ticked off if I try to stand up. And he's trying to lick my hand as I'm typing this.

hey, add hilarina to your friends list. And I would like to be on all the filters, I'm not sure what they are, but put me on 'em if you would like to :D

[verbminx.livejournal.com]

I did add you right after I let you know you'd been tagged...

there are a few you wouldn't want to be on, but you are on all the desireable ones. (not, though, on "feeds" - which is just for RSS accounts and which I rarely use, etc.)

[hilarykay.livejournal.com]

Now I am curious about the ones you say I wouldnt want to be on! now I wanna be on 'em!! hehehe
