I've been tagged...

[mijan]

Huh, I seldom get tagged in memes, or if I do, I don't often notice.  But I am sick and miserable this morning and not really going anywhere, so to distract myself, I'll do the meme.

Tagged by vixys :

1) List 7 habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2) Tag 7 People to do the same.
3) Don't tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to" (of course, we all do still have free will so if this isn't your thing... feel free to ignore)

So if you really want to know...
1. I have naturally curly hair that would put Chekov to shame, and I hate it.  I blow-dry it straight almost every day. 

2. Yes, I know I'm one of the most outgoing, talkative, tactile people in the world.  However, when I'm sick, I don't want to be touched, hugged, or spoken to.  I want to be left alone.

3. I'm one of those strange creatures that can be perfectly at home almost anywhere.  Big city or out in the middle of nowhere with no signs of civilization.  You can drop me off in the middle of an uninhabited forest with a map, compass, and one reference point, and I'll find my way out... and honestly, I love that sort of survival challenge.

4. I've got to play with everything.  Pick things up, touch them, examine them.  I'm insanely curious.  If there's a gadget or a gizmo or a massive piece of military equipment... I wanna play with it.  So don't be surprised if I've got my hands on something, fiddling with it, figuring out how it works.

5. Coffee.  I'm not addicted, but I LOVE a GOOD cup of coffee.  Nothing more satisfying than perfectly brewed, fresh-ground Arabica.  And the way the coffee is "dressed up" is just as important as the coffee itself.  I take mine with a solid splash of cream (not too much), and either no sugar or just the tiniest bit of sugar or Splenda.  But really really good coffee can go black.

6. I brush my teeth while walking around and doing other things while getting ready for bed.  Probably my oddest habit.

7. I climb things.  Trees, walls, cliffs... I love it.  When I discovered the rock-climbing tread-wall at my gym... a perpetual rock-climbing wall... oh yes, wonderful stuff.  But even better are things that I can climb so that I can get to the top.  That's a wonderful feeling, being up there.




Now let's see... I never bother to tag people on these things, but this time, I will.  So... who to tag...

Try curly, waist long hair, THEN get back to me.

Been there, done that. Why do you think I keep it SHORT now? (Well, amongst other reasons.) But yes, I had it waist-length, so I know. And I saw no reason to continue tormenting myself that way, regardless of how wonderful everyone ELSE thought it was.

Mmmm... coffee...

Well I'm growing mine out for cancer patients so I'll only have it for a little bit longer. WHOOHOOO.

nom nom nom nom nom.
I love me some coffee.
Save Starbucks.
Overpriced crap.

Well that's a good purpose. I couldn't do it. My hair takes too long to grow, and... I couldn't handle long hair ever again.

YESH COFFEE. But not Starbucks. Their coffee is nasty.

My hair grows fast. So its all good.

Starbucks makes coffee from the souls of dead children.
HIRO. KILL IT.

YOU had waist-length hair?

Yes. Don't ask. I was *trying* to fit in and be... er... girly. It was high school. And no, the attempt didn't work.
