star55 done got me.  So without further ado, I bring you...

6 Weird Things About Me

First: Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things aboutyou. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

1) I am a habitual counter.  That fic I once wrote about counting (Counting the Ways)?  Yeah.  That's so totally me.  Example?  There are 12 stairs down to my room, but if I'm going downstairs I've got to count 13 or I'll trip on the last stair.


2) I bit my mother on her ass when I was two.  I don't know why.  Apparently that was the best way to get her attention.  I left a little Saifai-mouth sized bruise her her left cheek.

3) I'm so totally not a people person.  I'm a lurker by nature.  I'm very quiet.  People often mistake me for stuck up because when given the chance to either wave back to someone or keep walking and hide in a corner?  Guess which one I'll choose.  Oddly enough, these rules don't seem to apply if I am dared to do something FOR someone.

4) Ghosts freak me out.  My mother actually banned me from watching Scoobie Doo as a child because the shows with ghosts in them gave me nightmares.  Yet, I wanted to be a parapsychologist when I was little (doctor who studies the paranormal).  I'm al so a part of a ghost hunting group.  Go figure...

5) I was stalked by a drug runner once.  This guy was a serial scammer.  He would use young women as a cover for his activities, then take a runner when the police would get too close to finding him out (leaving the blame on the women).  How'd I get out of it?  I got a weird feeling about the guy, so I had a friend of mine to research on him.  Turns out the guy knew him, and had worked with him as one of his contacts (and I had no idea this friend of mine was into all that).  Didn't talk to either one of those guys again after that.

6) My totem is a fox.  Every time something bad is going to happen to me, a red fox will show itself to me.  If someone I know, a close friend or family member, sees one?  It means they'll betray me.  Usually the foxes that are seen look directly at you.  The longer they keep eye contact with you, the more serious the situation for me.


Post the explanation of where your username(s) came from. Then tag SIX users whose explanations you'd like to hear. If you are tagged, then post the explanation to your page.

Saifai - It's the username of the website that I bought several years back.  I wanted to get the name out there, so I would register with that name.  It sort of stuck though, and even now the site is gone I still use it.  It suits my personality and interests quite well.

FoxShadow - It's an old username I used, and still use every now and again (and yes, I have a backup journal with that username somewhere...  foxzshadow).  It's reflective of my totem (see #6).

Interesting facts, hon! Oh, and here's the info on my name (be warned, it's not exciting):


I run an MSN Group for old movie fans. When it first started, I didn't know what my screen name should be. I ran a contest for the members to come up with one for me and the winner got a Clara Bow video.

There. See? I told you it was boring.

Nah, not boring at all. I'd always wondered where it came from. Very interesting... and whoever came up with gets a high five from me. They chose well. :)

Yay! That's awesome, but shit!! You got stalked! OMFG!!

Very interesting facts though... =)

[tabaqui]

Ack, stalking!
:)

Sorry it took me so long to comment, i've been...lazy.

Hrmmmmmm...i'm not posting any time soon, probably, so i can tell *you* weird things about me.
Um.

Like, i hate hate hate to fold cold laundry. I'll only fold it if it's warm and i've been known to run the dryer half the day in five minute increments 'cause i forget and it gets cold and i have to run it again and....

Yeah.

And - i hate to touch a lot of stuff. Like - i cannot run my hands over carpet or a lot of different fabrics, it just...squicks me. Watching someone *else* do it squicks me. Yuck. But i love to touch stone and wood and things like that.

If i have company over and they use the bathroom, i have to clean it again before *i* will use it. Just...have to. Even if the company was my mom and dad.

I don't drink hot drinks. Don't like any of them. Well, okay, once a year i like a hot chocolate. But that's it. All winter i drink cold juice, and all summer, too.

Hrmmmmmm...i think that's it.
