RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks.



1. I eat M&Ms, Skittles, Jelly Beans, and the like two of the same color/flavor at a time. I used to have to eat fries two of the same length at a time too, and if I didn't have two fries of the same length I'd fold one over into two.

2. Music touches my soul. I'd rather be blind than deaf.

3. Let's do religion all at once: I've met Jesus. I routinely talk to God. I've met two Angels, I've seen a ghost, I've performed "magic", I've had power, I've dealt with spirits - and have been dealt with by spirits *shudders* - I have guardians, fairies are real in my world, and I can feel "spirituality" or "power" when it's present. I call myself a Christian Elementalist, which means I work with/celebrate the elements Earth, Air, Fire, and Water in addition to Christianity. I probably missed some things here too.

4. I straighten wall pictures and hangings at other people's houses.

5. I went to Harvard, and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Engineering. I don't make a big deal about it because in my experience it's a great way to kill a conversation. People either get standoffish or instantly think I'm a snob or suddenly can't think of anything to say to me. Furthermore, I stopped using things I learned there in common conversation because I got a comment from a family member along the lines of the following during my freshman year: "So you go off to a fancy school and come back to show off the big words you've learned instead of talking like the rest of us."

6. I can hear TVs and computer monitors and other sounds (high pitched noises or quiet) that others can't.

7. Jennifer-Land isn't as large as it used to be, and it makes me sad.

8. I compulsively either bite my nails or blow on my fingers or whistle.

9. I miss my Mom.

10. I've not lived more than 7 years in one place. And, the numbers of every place I've lived have dealt with the number 3:

4044 Diamond St. (3 fours, 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 -> 1 + 2 = 3)

24 Sunset Rd. (24 = 8 x 3, 2 + 4 = 6 = 2 x 3)

18 Hillside Ave. (18 = 9 x 3, 1 + 8 = 9 which is 3 x 3)

Canaday A-12 (12 = 4 x 3, 1 + 2 = 3)

Winthrop House F-21 (21 = 7 x 3, 2 + 1 = 3, Also F is the 6th letter of the alphabet)

Winthrop House C-33 (two 3s, 3 + 3 = 6 = 2 x 3, Also C is the 3rd letter of the alphabet)

Winthrop House J-13 (Has a 3, is the number thirteen, and J is the first letter of my first name :) )

43 Robinson St. (Has a 3, though this is the one that most doesn't fit in like the rest, it was also the worst living situation I've been in)

36 Sutherland Rd (3 and a 6 where 6 = 2 x 3, 36 = 9 x 4, 36 = 12 x 3, 3 + 6 = 9, ...)

233 Mass Ave., Apt. 311 (Has three 3s)

44 Silver Hill Lane, Unit #12 (12 = 4 x 3, 1 + 2 = 3)

18009 University Park Drive (1 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 18 = 6 x 3 = 9 x 2 = 3 x 3 x 2)



I tag Emily, Lisa, Dave, Scott, Genie and... I don't know if anyone else who has a Blog/LJ/Myspace reads this. How about Erin?
