I'm not sure how to link, so I will just say that it was Dogert and the good folks at Blogadog who tagged me. Also, I apologize for the tardiness of this blog, there is no excuse.


*ahem*


1. I am a very clutter-oriented person. I live with all my things strewn about in no particular order. I know where everything is simply from experience, but to anybody else it looks like chaos. I'm totally fine with this. HOWEVER, I cannot stand any sort of food-related mess. Dirty dishes? No way. Leftovers from dinner? You get that shit in the fridge right now. I will actually opt for eating out not because I'm too lazy to cook or clean up, but because I just don't want to dirty the dishes. Don't even get me started on food left in a fridge for too long.


2. Whenever I'm trying to work on something, be it homework, leisure reading, music, going to sleep at night, or anything else, I cannot have noise. If there's any sort of conversation near me, I can't help it. I will hear every single word of that conversation. I'll even start chiming in in my head. It's terrible. I don't try to, I think my ears just have ADD. Maybe it's a vocational hazard, being a musician and all, but it's very frustrating. Many people like to fall asleep to music. Now while I love music during my waking hours, if I'm trying to go to sleep and anything with any sort of beat starts playing, I'm done for. First I'm aware of the rhythm, then my foot starts tapping, then I'm figuring out the chord progression. It's terrible.


3. I love cats. Is that a legitimate quirk? I'll assume it is. I love all animals really, except snakes and *shudder* spiders. I don't trust anything that's meant to have fewer than two legs or greater than four. But cats are great. They're usually super cuddly and soft, like little pillows with legs. Sphinxes are cool too, but they're not as pillow-esque.


4. I'm terrible at procrastinating. Actually, to be more literal, I'm amazing at it. I procrastinate so much on things that I build momentum. "Eh, that assignment isn't due for another two days, it can wait." Three days later: "Eh, that assignment is only one day late, and I know the teacher accepts late work. Ten days later: "Hmm, that assignment is so late already, should I still do it?" It's a horrible cycle.


5. I love ginger. Ginger brew (ale) is amazing (but only the good stuff like Reed's, not high fructose crap like Schweppes), I can't get enough of it. I also love crystallized ginger. But again, only the good stuff. It has to be firm and spicy. I've had crystallized ginger that was chewy and not spicy at all. It was terrible. Cooking with ginger is also wonderful.


6. I don't like to finish strong.


Since this post is late, I'm going to assume that everybody has done it already. In that case I wouldn't need to tag anybody. However, if there are still people who haven't done it, I'm tagging them. Enjoy!
