Five weird habits
I've been tagged by Chris (who was tagged by Lara) to list five weird habits of mine. As Chris explains, there are some rules that apply to said tagging.
The first player of the game starts with the topic, “5 weird habits about yourself”. People who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits, as well as state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged, and link to their web-journals. Don’t forget to leave a comment in their blog/journal that says “you have been tagged” and tell them to read yours.
I'm not as weird as Chris, but here goes.
- I always feel compelled to finish whatever meat is in a meal. This undoubtedly stems from pressure from my parents to finish the meat. I'm sure this was good advice growing up during and after World War II in China/Taiwan/Hong Kong. In 2006 in Seattle, it's a recipe for a big belly and an early heart attack. I'm working on this one, but I still twitch when I see meat get thrown away.
- I can't fall asleep with my legs straight. Not sure why. I didn't even realize this until college when a girlfriend pointed it out to me.
- I always bring a copy of Scientific American and the Economist with me on flights. I love both, but I don't normally have time to read them. Unlike most other magazines or books, these two have a high information to weight density, making them ideal for carry on luggage.
- I sing vocal warmups and sometimes do pushups before a speech. This comes from my old high school days of doing musicals. It's perfectly logical, but I've drawn more than one odd stare backstage before a talk.
- I'm a rabid, hard core tooth flosser. I can't stand any buildup between my teeth. Waxed floss or tape are for weenies who want to feel like they're flossing but can't handle the brutal cleanliness of unwaxed floss. I do, however, have a soft spot for woven floss.
OK, Scott, Chooky, Bruce, Snow Pixie, and John, you're up!
