A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do them.
1. I talk to myself when on the computer or watching the TV when I'm on my own. Whether this be comments on what I'm seeing or doing, or just random outcries of frustration and rage... my father tends to come upstairs and ask what I'm doing and who I'm talking to. Gets quite embarrassing.
2. I'm a nature nerd. I know most species of British wildlife from a single glance, vocals or evidence they leave behind. Apparently this is sad, but it leads to arguments with my mother who thinks she knows better than me. Most recently, she's adamant that kestrels are not the only bird of prey that hovers. Shame she can't tell the difference between hovering and flying/soaring into the wind.
3. I can't imagine a life in a house when not surrounded by at least 5 different species of pets. We've always had a wide variety of pets, from cats to koi to budgies to horses... we have pretty much everything... but I don't like dogs. Dogs are about the only pets I don't want, but we've got two regardless...
4. The ground floor of out house has a lot of large windows, and as such I don't like going downstairs in the dark, especially when I'm home alone. Had a bad experience once when I was in the kitchen in the early hours of the morning and the outside light went on outside the front door (which is usually does when someone walks into the drive), but it was only set off by a deer.
5. I'm terrified of zombies. Actually terrified. I can't watch a zombie film without crying. I'm also kinda scared of ghosts. I can watch a program on paranormal activity and laugh at the silly people, but as soon as I'm on my own in the dark I'm hyperventilating.
6. I collect rocks and buttons. Not just any rocks, but crystals and minerals when I'm on holiday, or on the Isle of Wight, there's a nice little place in Godshill that sells all kinds of rocks.
7. I get distracted easily, which usually means slow posts and even slower writing and college work. Recently, the biggest problem has been Minesweeper, as I on average now spend about three hours a day playing it...
okay I'm tagging off the top of me head, Georgie, Leslie, Sphinx... Ice... um... can't think.... Sephs_trooper? hmm... ANYONE ELSE?
