Okay, I've been tagged by two people and I don't understand my math. So, today is the day.
I'll do them both in the same post, starting with the shorter one, which wants to know six quirks about me. I guess I can pare it down to 6. To explain the picture: So, it's my soul.
1- I have to dance. In the car, in a public restroom... anywhere. If I get a song that beats a certain way, I just have to. And I don't get too embarrassed about it anymore, either. Because, well, I'm an okay dancer. Some of you know that I did latin ballroom dancing for several years. My best two dances are cha cha and samba. Well, I do rhumba well, too. I incorporate that type of movement into my gettin'-down-with-my-bad-self dancing. It's probably quite humorous to watch.
2- I listen to Japanese music. A lot. And I sing along in Japanese. It makes people think I'm weird, which I enjoy, so it's all fun to me.
3- Since I was a kid I have randomly gotten cravings for pickles. When I was like 7 I'd go to the fridge with a spoon and go at the relish. Only dill, I'd like to clarify. Get that sweet and bread 'n' butter stuff away from me. So far, I recommend anything with big chunks of garlic at the bottom of the jar.
4- I procrastinate in odd ways. And I feel guilty the whole time. Johnny will ask, "Don't you have homework?" and I'll say, "Yes, but I really needed to organize my pencils right now." You see the problem.
5- I have to finish the meal with something sweet. It doesn't feel like I'm done eating unless I've had a sweet something. Even if it's small, even if it has to be gum (desperate measures). If I have a savory breakfast, toast with jam comes at the end. *shrug* John thinks it's cute. (That's my defense.)
6- I like to read before I fall asleep. Even if it's 2 am and I'm barely making it to the bed without knocking stuff over, I will try to read. (And John gives me that one-eyebrow-raised-"you're serious?" look and takes it away after the second time I drop the book on my face.)
One down, one to go.
This one's called five things, but it's listing five things about a bunch of things. It's a long one. I've warned you, though, so no volatile comments.
10 Years Ago I:
1- Met Johnny going to see Patch Adams. Little did I know...
2- Quit taking piano lessons. My teacher wanted too much from me at a time when I had enough pressure at school and with my social life. Funny enough, I played the piano more after I quite taking lessons. Because I wanted to, because I had to. I can't sort out my life without my piano.
3- Had an awful relationship with my parents.
4- Was writing a fantasy novel. It's not done yet.
5- Met a teacher at school that was like a second father. Without him I would be a different person now. We still keep in touch from time to time.

I don't know 5 people with blogs (unless you count the ones that don't update) so I'll have to say Johnny (when he gets back) and anyone who feels like it.
