A Lefty Writes

A while back, Gwen listed five idiosyncracies and then "tagged" me to do the same. (For those of you not familiar with blog-speak, this means I was then obligated, under international blog-code to complete the same task.)

So almost two months later, here are five idiosyncracies I have and am willing to own up to:

1 - I take my cell phone everywhere... except the gym. For some reason I have designated work-out time as the only moment when I am unreachable. I guess everyone needs a refuge.

2 - I can't stand it when people leave shopping carts in the middle of the parking lot. This is probably my number one pet peeve. It's just exemplary of peoples' selfishness and complete disregard for others. Of course it doesn't help that supermarkets seem to be cutting back on places to put the carts...

3 - Even if it's not full, I load the dishwasher as though it were overflowing with dishes. Two glasses and a spoon and they still have to be packed in there just so. Yeah, I'm just that anal-retentive.

4 - I don't floss. I know it's good for me, but even though I always brush twice a day I just don't floss. Perhaps this is some sort of deep-seeded act of rebellion against my father.

5 - I don't like wearing shoes indoors. Ever since my LA apartment where we took off our shoes to keep the place clean, I just feel more comfortable walking around inside without shoes, even in other peoples' homes.

And there you have it. Now, the one remaining question is whether or not I "tag" five other people, thereby forcing them to do this as well. I'm not sure I even know five people with blogs who haven't already done this. Let's see... Jason, Danielle, David, Jess, and, um... that's it. So you four, the gauntlet has been thrown down.
