The Rules:

1. Link to the person that tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

This is all Geof Morris' fault.

Six Non-important/habits/quirks about me:

1. Chewing in general squicks me mightily. The sound or sight of food being chewed (especially with mouth open) makes me shudder. I have to avert my eyes, but I haven't figured out how to avert my ears.
2. I cough or make a noise before I enter a room that I know contains a person who might not otherwise see or hear me coming. I dislike being startled from behind and I assume that others do too.
3. I am uncomfortable singing in the presence of others.
4. I see words spelled out in meaningless, random images. For example, if I look at a towel and let my mind wander, I'll see random words spelled out in the lumps and bumps of the towel's loops. For a long time I thought it was Freudian, but eventually I realized that cigars were sometimes just cigars.
5. I find purple cabbage inherently disturbing, even though I know it tastes no different from regular cabbage.
6. Since my second toe overlaps my third one on my left foot, I leave a four-toed left footprint. My second toe's print just barely appears on the footprints taken of me just after I was born. As a result, my left foot is slimmer than my right, and my feet have different sizes. My left foot is a C width and just barely a size 6; my right foot is a 5.5 wide.

I'm taking a half-day off today. Can I claim to be taking a mental health day when it is demonstrably clear to everyone involved that I lost my mind years ago? Cross your fingers and hope for good photos, as I may have a very interesting subject today.
