“Forced to post!”

*Stomps around*

“Forced to post! Can you believe she’s pushed me to this!? Forcing me to post!?”

*Stomps around*

*Stops with hands on hips*

“Fine. I’ll post.”

Seven facts about me, or habits that I have that drive others to madness – she says I must post. I USUALLY don’t do these sorts of things, but since it IS Jude…

…I’m not sure I know myself well enough to come up with seven things. FINE! I’ll try.

1) When I (finally) attach to an idea about something I want to do, or achieve, or resolve, or come to terms with…I attack it full force, head on, non-stop until I have done it. I will get an insane gleam in my eye and talk so fast it’s difficult to understand me. My energy sometimes becomes too much for others and I think WAY too far ahead. When I was a kid, I wanted to do the Rubik’s Cube in under two minutes. My mother would often find me in my bed, under the covers with a flashlight, doing “something” vigorously. She’d pull back the covers to find me, Rubik’s cube in hand, cold sweat on my brow, “I’ve almost GOT IT!”

2) I generally never finish something I start. Confused now?

3) The most consistent thing about me are my inconsistencies.

4) I’m the worst friend in the world. I can’t be bothered to keep up with much of anyone on a regular basis, unless I try REALLY hard; even then…not so good. In fact, I haven’t got many friends. Most the people I know are acquaintances at best – I’m just too slippery.

5) I am obsessive compulsive to a degree that no one realizes. I’ve developed an awareness and quiet habits to help me deal with it. I have these strange games I play with my fingers, where I have to touch the tip of each finger a certain way with my thumb and then work the sequence backward. If I don’t do it just right, I have to repeat the sequence or feel unsettled until I do. When I sit down at a restaurant, I arrange the table – or try to stop myself before I do. I think I might be a lot like Darth Vader. I’ve never shared these things with anyone.

6) I am The Devil’s Advocate. In any given situation, I will try to see all sides of a thing to the annoyance of everyone around me. Even in situations where a decision must be made and fairly quick, I will play out every possible scenario, thinking as far ahead as possible, to make sure I make the “Best possible decision.” Oh, and I suck at chess.

7) I don’t know anything about money. I hate money. I never understand what happens to my money. If someone gives me money, or puts me in charge of money…they are ALWAYS sorry. I have nothing to show for the money I have…wait…don’t have. Wait…where’s my money?
