1. A structural or behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group.
2. A physiological or temperamental peculiarity.
3. An unusual individual reaction to food or a drug.

List five of your own idiosyncrasies and then tag five friends to do the same.

Let's see.

1. I have to sit facing the room (in other words, with my back to the wall) in public places or I get very very antsy.

2. I cannot sleep fully covered. At minimum, I have to have at least a foot sticking out from the covers, and very often unless it's *extremely* cold I throw all the covers off before I even fall asleep.

3. When I eat small candies like M&Ms or Skittles, I must eat them 2 by 2, one in each side of my mouth, and I try to work it so that I can have matched pairs of colors.

4. This seems to be a popular one among parents: sippy cups must match lids.

5. I will call friends that I know *extremely* well or people I'm involved with (right now that's a list of probably 10 people or less total) but otherwise, it practically takes an act of God to get me to make a phone call. I despise calling for pizza, and I don't even like to call people I don't know very well for fear of bothering them. If you're a close friend or SO, however, I'll talk your ear off. :)

Ordering pizza over the internet is the Greatest. Thing. Ever. I just wish our local Chinese place had a website. ;)

I about threw a party when I realized I could make online reservations for dinner the most recent time we had date night. Bliss.

Steve & I have gone as far as to try to fax in orders for places when we don't want to call. We're really bad like that.

I can't sleep with my feet covered, and was astonished to find out recently that my mother, brother, and sisters can't, either. But you are the only other person I know of!

well this explains why we don't hang out as often as we should - i'm the same way about the phone. i HATE using it. there's a full size mattress set listed in the classifieds for obscenely cheap, and because of my phone phobia, i haven't called, despite the fact that we plan to give brendan a new (decent, non-futon-related) mattress next month.

and the 500 anytime minutes i share on the family plan with my cousin? last month i used 54.

any thoughts yet on setting up a day & time for the boys to work together?

Snap. Although at least I'm not as bad as one of my friends who won't hang washing out unless she can have the pegs matching colours on each item as well.

Also snap. People wonder why I send emails, it's because I hate making phone calls. It can take me days to get around to even making a phone call to make an appointment unless it's urgent.
