Pointless memes are worse than chain letters

Because you actually feel tempted to participate sometimes. I was tagged by someone to do something stupid, ie. to list five things people don’t know about me, and then tag 5 other people. In the spirit of general participation and momentary boredom, I’ll list 5 things, but I refuse to tag anyone. For future reference, very few things piss me off quite as much as unsolicited chain emails, but on the theory that I had to in fact read his blog to discover I was tagged, I will refrain from ranting about this one.

  1. I have played Goldilocks 3 times, in various plays during my childhood. It is one of the reasons I dye my hair red.
  2. I am allergic to most kinds of fabric softener, the majority of skin products, many types of make-up, and bubblebath.
  3. I have an irrationally severe aversion to double-decker buses.
  4. It makes me retch when people play with their chewing gum, I find it extremely physically disgusting.
  5. I cannot get into an unmade bed. I will make the bed, and then get in immediately afterwards. I also find it irritating to be in a room with an unmade bed for long periods of time, and will actually ask if I can make someone’s bed if I am in the situation.

So there you go, amazing insight into my psyche, or random load of irrelevant crap? You decide! Because I certainly won’t be venturing an opinion.

    surprisingly, because I’m a very very messy person, I also can’t get into an unmade bed, and will make a bed before getting into it. in all other respects however, I am a messy lazy slob.

    The use of more than 2 exclamation marks at the end of a sentence is a warning sign for potential mental breakdown you know :)

    I love getting into a freshly made bed. But, alas, I rarely make my bed. I make tents out of it though. That chewing gum thing is true, totally disgusting. Apparently that fabric softener allergy is quite common, I wonder what it is specifically…
