10 Funny Things
Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits about themselves. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly.
1) I route optimize. Whenever I'm walking or driving somewhere I'm probably sizing up variables like "what's the fastest way to get there," "will the reduced speed of side streets still be more efficient than a possibly traffic laden freeway," or "even though the freeway slightly extends beyond my destination, will the increased speed still result in a shorter arrival time." This is undoubtedly the sort of behavior that got me into computer science.
2) Gummy bears are my Achilles heal. If you put a bag of them in the same room as me and tell me that if I eat them I will be shot in the head, then I'll probably die.
3) I have an overwhelming urge to learn tantra. Spiritual sex is totally my bag. If the path to enlightenment should end up being paved with man-sex, all the better.
4) My dreams are utter nonsense. They have no narrative structure to speak of, feature Escher-like architecture, and are mostly baffling. I am not convinced they mean anything, but I find them fascinating.
5) I sleep next to a pair of nunchucks and/or a 21 inch aerospace steel baton in case somebody decides to start shit in the night.
6) I feel guilty driving a Blazer. It was a combination high school graduation present as well as a "hey, you need something reliable for college and beyond." Somewhere in there I became an organic, pot-smoking hippy and now I feel vaguely hypocritical when I drive around.
7) I play games with my coordination. I weight lift standing on one leg. I'll wait to catch a rapidly closing refrigerator door with my foot at a distance and simultaneously keep two cupboards open. I have 4-point jumping jacks I do that go 1) feet together 2) left foot is forward, right foot is back and arms are parallel to the floor 3) feet come back together and arms are straight up 4) right foot is forward, left foot is backward arms are parallel to ground again 5) feet are back together and arms are down by side. One!
8) I workout a lot. It is not uncommon for me to do two to three yoga sessions a week, at least one extended night at the dojo, and possibly swing by the gym some point on the weekend. Total hours in that: 7.5-8 hours. If I miss workouts I get extremely antsy.
9) Many times I have tried to gain weight, and my times I have failed. My metabolism says I am a muscly well defined ectomorph, but my desires say I should be a hot more-muscly well defined mesomorph.
10) Not completing sentences or trailing off pisses me off like no other. My dad does it habitually. He'll wander into a room and say "You know, earlier I was thinking..." and then he'll walk out of the room and never finish the thought. He will also start talking, leave the room, and not increase the volume so it sounds like he's muttering from down the hall, yet expecting you to listen.
Anyone willing to participate. I think these ones are fun.
