ritaxis tagged me, and I find that I can't resist that. However, I am not posting any rules and I am not tagging anybody else. We will not look too closely at the idea that my main objection to the former is that it grates on my nerves to see "blog" used to mean "blog post," even though English does that sort of thing all the time -- just try and stop it.
If people who are reading this wish to post a list of eight -- or six, or eleven -- random habits of theirs or facts about themselves, please be my guest. Drop a note in the comments and I'll come read them even if I haven't friended you.
1. I hate hot weather; it makes me ill.
2. I am a very slow person, whether one is talking of thinking, cooking, writing, or just getting around to doing things. My mother gave me a chest of drawers from Ikea a year and a half ago, and it's still sitting in the front hall in its ickle box. However, it will come in very handy for the guest room while Eric is staying with us for six weeks.
3. When I was in junior high school, my favorite books were Carroll's Alice books, and my best friend and I called ourselves the Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit. I got into a lot of trouble by confiding this fact to a potential new friend and letting her be the March Hare. It is unclear to me whether this is an early indication of polyamorous tendencies or one of the reasons I became far less chatty in general in my mid-teens.
4. I have gotten myself through a significant portion of the novel I'm writing by promising myself macaroni and soy cheese if I write five hundred words. Fortunately, that is no longer feasible, since three helpings of mac and soy cheese a day is too much even for me.
5. I am extremely lazy.
6. Last year I planted six packets of California poppies in various parts of the garden, because Eric was going to be here for a month and I thought he would find them homelike. None of them came up. But I think there is a single plant coming up this year.
7. I have three partners and am very grateful to them for putting up with me.
8. I believe that brevity is the soul of wit, but elaboration is more fun.
