Meme I've seen going around

Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird personal habits" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their 5 quirky 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.

Actually, I don't even know if you would call these "personal habits", so much as just weird things about me. Here you go anyway:

1. When I sleep by myself, I don't rumple the bed at all--once I get comfortable, I stay in the same position almost the whole night. The next morning, I can just fold the sheet and comforter back down and the bed is made. (By contrast, when Hurricane Jamie sleeps over, bedclothes and pillows can end up on the other side of the room. I wonder whose fault that is.)

2. My preferred method of eating rice is with a bowl and a spoon. Chopsticks are an acceptable substitute for the spoon, but the bowl is necessary. You plate-and-fork people are freaks. Freaks!

3. When I'm on my period I crave red meat and insanely spicy food. Two words: beef vindaloo.

4. While asleep I can have coherent and apparently insightful conversations, which I cannot recall later on. This frequently happens when my mother and I stay up to watch crime dramas. Often, I have predicted, accurately, who the killer is going to be--in my sleep.

5. Despite drinking at least a liter of fluid during a typical workday, I sometimes don't go to the bathroom all day--just once in the morning, and once before I go to bed. According to an ultrasound I had in high school, I have an abnormally large bladder capacity which makes this possible.

I did number 1 in your bed. Okay wait, no I didn't. Let me qualify that.

When I slept over at your house and you let me sleep in your bed, I woke up the next morning in the same position that I fell asleep in. I too, only needed to turn down the comforter and sheet.

Maybe you have a magical girly-bed?

Perhaps. I do know that I sleep much better in my bed than on Jamie's horrid futon.

That may be the futon's fault...they are evil to sleep on!

Yes, that is true! Especially that one! Ever since he had the mattress cleaned it's been all lumpy at one end. Highly suspicious.

Woah, we are like...very alike. Number one...check. Number two...check (but if it is white rice I put cinnamon and sugar on it...I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!). Number three...well, I crave hot dogs specifically, but we're close! number four...check and double check. I've also been known to cook breakfast and on one harrowing occasion, climb a tree. Number five...that's our only difference. Though I have already finished my first liter of water and it's only ten am so, well, yeah.

Does bluepoet also take the bed to pieces at night? OMG SO ANNOYING. Jamie slept over last night and this morning there was bedding everywhere.

[jandyle.livejournal.com]

Totally. She is also a blanket hog. She pulls all the blankets off of me, then gets too hot and pushes them off the *other* side of the bed, because of course I don't want them back. I wake up and I'm shivering on my side of the bed with just the sheet and all the blankets are on the floor on her side of the bed. GRAR!!!

Jamie sometimes does the opposite--he throws covers onto me that I don't want, and I wake up in the middle of the night sweltering under 30 pounds of bed. Even better, sometimes after he throws all the covers over me, he rolls over and snuggles up to the big ball of covers, thereby increasing the heat factor. So then I throw the covers off the bed in self-defense, and then later on I wake up freezing with no covers.

I talk to so many couples, and it seems as though there is always one normal person and one bed hog. I suppose because two bed hogs would probably kill each other in their sleep!

I forgot a really weird one when I did mine a while ago:

I always eat my fortune cookie after having Chinese food, either takeout or at the restaurant. However, I have to actually eat all of the cookie before reading the fortune; otherwise the fortune doesn't "count."

:-D Totally serious.
