Yayyyy Conformity!
Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yours" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ/blog/xanga entry about their 5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.
okay.
one. i can't find my fingernail clippers--i haven't used them in a while. instead, i carefully tend to my fingernails so that they're all at various lengths, and one at a time half chew one off and floss with it. hey, i hate flossing, but i get bored, and it seems like the healthy thing to do. and if you're a backacker, you can save weight by not having to pack floss.
two. i try to learn curses in other languages at any opportunity. currently, i've got a smattering of Russian, French, Spanish, Yiddish, Mandarin Chinese (thankyou Firefly), Japanese, German, some quite vile Kiswahili, a burgeoning English collection (thankyou, coworkers), Farscape-ish, and my personal favorite, Ki-Musser (Good Lork!).
three. i sleep on a mat on the floor because i want to stay in hiking shape and not have to adjust to sleeping outdoors everytime i sleep outdoors.
four. i like hats. of the warm, fluffy, and flamboyant variety. i collect "gear," which is outdoorsman-ish for expensive toys for living as far away from permanent structures as possible.
five. when driving exceedingly fast in ambulances with the lights flashing and sirens blaring, i love turning up 103.3 The Edge and rockin' it out such tunes as "Into the Abyss Will I Run," "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor," andything by System of a Down, and other assorted angry dark metal-ish music. an added bonus is flipping the siren between modes like a DJ to the tune of whatever it is that's in my head/i'm listening to. a few nights ago, around three a.m., we serenaded the fine people of the Apple District with "Jingle Bells" on the air horn. i think we freaked out some homeless guys...
OK. Now: dave lilley, dan perrine, mark lemke, dan reilley, chris moeller.

Hahaha...I must sheepishly admit to occasionally "flossing" with a fingernail clipping...though a more appropriate analogy would probably be "toothpicking," cuz it's hard to get the darn thing all the way through those tiny spaces in between the teeth. Just a thought - floss doesn't weigh very much. Nor does it take up very much space. So what exactly do you save by not packing it? Enough room for a box of matches? :)
it's called sarcasm...
dlh
