Snagged a meme fom [livejournal.com profile] darylchan, who left her flist to tag themselves.

Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 random things, facts, goals, or habits about yourself. At the end, choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names & why you chose them. Don't forget to leave them a comment (you're it!) and to read your blog for instructions. You can't tag a person who has tagged you. Since you can't re-tag me, let me know when you've posted your blog so I can read the answers!


1. I play with the strap of my wrist watch when I'm anxious. This is mostly when I'm talking to someone and want to be somewhere else, or know I should be doing something else but would rather waste time chatting.

2. I'm a perfectionist, but I'm also lazy as all hell. This makes for some interesting variation in the quality of my work.

3. I have some very nearly neurotic habits, like if I tap my fingers against something, every finger must tap the same amount of times. Or when I eat Ässä Mix candies, all the candies in my hand need to be the same suit/colour, or else they must all be a different suit and a different colour.

4. I have several ideas for fiction (both fanfic and original) floating around in my mind/desk drawer, but I am, besides perfectionist, incapable of ending a story. As such I will never get anything published to any extent.

5. My left eyebrow is split in two by a scar I got when a TV fell on top of me.

6. The last joint of my right ring finger is slightly bent at all times and will neither bend any further nor straighten. This appears to be genetic from my father's side, though I seem to have the most obvious case in the entire family.

7. I cope with things that disturb me by not coping, but rather refusing to think about them until the memory fades to something more acceptable.

8. I am, by nature, very easily offended and do not take critique well. I've learned to override these instincts out of necessity.

9. I want to create something that will have a fandom one day, if only to screw with said fandom.

10. For all my life, I've wanted to be able to understand every language in the world. So far I'm only fluent in two, barely passable in two others, and capable of occasionally understanding very simple sentences in an additional three.


I'm not tagging anyone, either. Nyah.

Ahaha, I'm #2 as well. I was the queen of procrastination in college, I swear...

OMG, most of them match me too. Especially 10 XD
Oh and about 3, perhaps that's obsessive compulsive disorder? Ever heard about it? I have it XD; But it's well controled now. Perhaps you should see if it is, because there is medicine that helps to control it :3

If it is, it's very mild and doesn't really interfere with my everyday life. I just have a few funny habits and dont like the things on my plate touching each other. XD I can act against these impulses (does that mean it cn't be OCD? I don't know), but usually just go along with the finger-tapping, because where's the harm in that?

Ah, if you can control them, then it's diferent :3 People with OCD feel really bad when they can't do one of their "rituals". But yeah, if such habits don't really bother you or interfere with you everyday life, then no need to worry X3 Actually, everybody has one or two OCD ritual. It's just that it gets so strong on some people (aka me some years ago XDD) that they need medicine. Some people say such thing comes from baaaack when we were cavepeople XD Because we would constantly check in if, for example, our babies were safe from predadors and such.
