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.

Love your numberplate. <3

I didn't know that about toes, I can do that too. When I was 4, my mother and I were in a very serious car accident, and my mother's ankle was shattered underneath the peddles. She had to have lots of physiotherapy, which included picking up sheets of newspaper and pencils from the floor with her toes. Of course, being 4, I copied this, so I can do lots of things with my toes. I can do all those things apart from the Bewitched twitch. I'm jealous of you now ;0)

Yes, yes, me too, which is why I so rarely listen to music. It's just far too distracting. If music is on, there are only a very limited number of things I can be doing while it is, and they're like, driving (a route I already know), drawing and maybe something mindless like playing Sims. How people can sleep let alone write to music (especially music with words) is beyond me.

I wonder if there's a word for this, since we seem to be in the minority.

Trying the tricks with toes, I almost made a cripple of myself, hahaha, finished sitting on the floor and laughing.
But can do a Vulcan salute with both my hands too. Live long and prosper!:-)
