<h3>Six Non-important/habits/quirks about me:</h3>

<ol>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>I am uncomfortable singing in the presence of others.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>I find purple cabbage inherently disturbing, even though I know it tastes no different from regular cabbage.</li>
<li>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.  </li>
</ol>

<blockquote>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.</blockquote>    ]]></content>
