My Very First Meme

For my last post before Christmas I’ve been tagged by Sinéad of Sigla so I feel like a proper Blogger now…

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.

I kind of already covered my insane quirks in this earlier post but hey, I’m not short of weird habits so here’s five more:

1. When I’m sleeping I have to have the duvet pulled up over my ear, it can’t cover my head or face, but it has to cover my ear.
2. I prioritise the food on my plate, the required order is 1. meat 2. veg 3. potatoes…because, of course, potatoes are the best bit.
3. If I’m walking and I accidentally slap my arm against my leg, I have to slap my other leg with my other arm to even myself out.
4. (This is a family one) I can’t leave one baked bean in the bottom of a tin…either get all the beans out or leave two in the bottom to keep each other company.
5. And following on from that one…tins can’t be placed upside down in the cupboard because then all the beans will be standing on their heads.

Now for the next victims…I’m tagging:

Ryan of Rymus{dot}Net
Donnachada of The Daly Blog
Frank or Bif of BifSniff Cartoons
Cyberscribe of Shitty First Draft
Nelly of Nelly’s Garden

So, Happy Christmas to all of you and last one out of the blog building please turn out the lights.

    I’ll try and develop 5 really weird habits over the next few days – it shouldn’t be too hard for me.I’m leaving the lights on cause its the first time I’ve been in a blog building with lights on and nobody in LOL

    First time ever being tagged… I hope I don’t get tagged with these too often… cost me way more effort than it should have :P

    Happy Christmas from me and Bif!

    What a hilarious bunch of habits! I’m with you on the ear covering bit though–it all stemmed from when I heard the bible story of one of the disciples (Peter?) cutting off the soldier’s ear, or something like that. I heard it when I was quite young and impressionable, and I just knew there was a disciple waiting under my bed for me to fall asleep so he could have a whack at my ear!

    I hope you have a very Merry Christmas :)

    I’m like that about the duvet as well so fear not. The two baked beans in a tin is too cute.
    I was reminded of that old joke:
    Q: What’s a definition of beans on toast?
    A: Skinheads on a raft.

    man, I am amazed you could think up five things…don’t think I could do that for myself.
