I got tagged by Marti from Enter the Laughter with a meme.
The rules/procedures are as follows: The first player of this game starts with the topic "five weird habits of yourself," and 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 five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don't forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says, "You are tagged" (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.
Okay, five weird habits:
1) Way back in May, I wrote a blog entry about my obsessive-compulsive tendencies, which are still present. I check and recheck things. Mostly, I check several times to make sure I turned off the curling iron before I go to work. Locking the door (either at night before I go to sleep or upon leaving the apartment) is another big one.
2) In a similar vein, I sometimes put on deodorant twice, because I cannot remember with 100% certainty that I put it on, and it's something I don't want to be wrong about. I do too many things on autopilot.
3) I keep bowls of cat food on my bed and futon. My cat Carmela had a problem with UTIs for awhile, and I had to replace the futon mattress twice. I wanted to make sure both cats remembered that the bed and futon were not bathrooms, and cats don't like to pee where they eat (makes sense). The was quite awhile ago, but I'm still afraid to take the bowls of food away.
4) I can spot change on the ground from a mile away, and I always pick it up, even pennies, unless I'm in immediate danger of being run over by a car or something if I do. I think this comes from being a poor graduate student for so long. One might assume from reading this that I am an extremely frugal person. One would be wrong in assuming that.
5) I am addicted to computer Boggle.
Here are the people I am tagging:
Rich--Championable: Fatherhood, Politics, Kids
Barbara--A Rich Tapestry of Barbara-isms
Celestial--She Talks to Angels
Stacey--Stac Space
Cris--That Side of the Moon
Have fun!

Hey those are great!
I always pick up change too! And sometimes I put deodorant on twice, because like you say, it’s easy to do things half-asleep and not remember if you did it or not. I got pregnant that way (LOL just kidding).
I didn’t know there WAS computer Boggle! OMG! I’ll have to try that! (Ignoring the little voice in my had that warns of wasted hours LOL)
Thanks for playing along - I hope it was fun for you!
It was kind of fun; at first I had a hard time coming up with five, but it's funny how many things come to mind if you just start thinking about it :-).
My computer Boggle came with my computer Scrabble game. I love it; it tells you how many possible words there are to start and when the three minutes are up, it shows you all the possible words along with the highest possible score. Usually I get way less than that!
