7 facts meme

[vilakins]

Yes, it's another meme. I was tagged by bigdamnxenafan to:

List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.

1. This meme also said that I had to tag 7 people, and not refuse to. I don't like tagging, and I don't take orders. I'd even think twice about an order to do something I'd otherwise do if asked nicely, though in this case I still wouldn't. Because I don't tag.
   
   
2. I have a physics degree. This is no use to me, and neither is any of my experience.in other fields. I should have left school and learned how to drive forklifts. Forklift drivers can always get work here for some reason.
   
   
3. I loathe slimy food. This means things like jelly and overcooked vegetables and overripe fruit. It makes me gag.
   
   
4. I can't think straight if I can hear a conversation, or a song with lyrics. I have to talk out loud to myself to override the distraction if I'm trying to concentrate on something.
   
   
5. I can raise my big toe independently of my other toes, which means I'd still be able to walk without big toes. Apparently most people can't. (I can also move my head sideways like an oriental dancer, do the Vulcan salute and the Bewitched twitch, and raise one eyebrow. I don't ever think to do the eyebrow thing though.)
   
   
6. My car's number plate is LIBR8R.
   
   
7. I have three cats, all monochromatic: a black-and-white, a silver tabby, and a sepia-coloured Burmese. This was not planned.

Yeah, frequently in school if we were "good" the teacher would put on music for us, and it was AWFUL because I simply couldn't work when it was on, or I'd have to quitely mouth the words I was trying to read/write, etc. It was like punishing me for being good, and I was ALWAYS good. Ugh.

Maybe you should have done something to annoy them so they didn't put the music on. I hated sport when I was at school, and I'd deliberately drop the ball and do other stupid things at practice, and they'd punish me by making me walk round the sports field while the others played. Walking and thinking was so much more fun. :-D

LOL That's a great idea. Unfortunately, I was SUCH a good kid that that sort of thing never occurred to me. It would have been extremely out of character for me, too. Plus, then I'd have the rest of the class hating me (more so than they likely already did) for ruining the music for them. Sigh. I mean, imagine if you dropping the ball made the teacher punish the entire class and walk the the field with you.
