I try to stay away from much personal stuff on this blog, but I’ve been tagged by Kari<\/a> for the\u00a0“6 weird things” meme, so here’s a little dose of\u00a0my weirdness.<\/p>\n

RULES:<\/strong> People who get tagged need to write a blog post of 6 weird things about them as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.<\/p>\n

  1. When I was in primary school, we always used to try to peel our satsumas\/tangerines\/small-orange-type-things so the peel would come off in one piece, for good luck. There was even more luck to be acquired if the fruit had 10 segments. I still try to peel them\u00a0in one piece and *always* count the segments. Hey, a little extra luck can’t hurt, can it?
    \n\u00a0<\/li>\n
  2. I am left-handed, but use my computer mouse right-handed. It wasn’t until I got carpal tunnel in my right wrist that I learned to mouse left-handed. So now I am just about mouse-ambidextrous (although I still prefer to use my right hand when my wrist is up to it). Luckily, I crochet left-handed…
    \n\u00a0<\/li>\n
  3. When I exercise, my pulse goes very high. VERY high. Around 200 bpm. I’ve had tests for it but they haven’t been able to find anything wrong with me.
    \n\u00a0<\/li>\n
  4. I like to eat frozen vegetables… while they are still frozen. Peas, green beans,\u00a0or sweetcorn; my sister and I have always eaten them that way. Put them in a bowl and eat them as a snack – it’s also healthier than a bowl of peanuts. Sometimes my teeth are too sensitive to\u00a0eat a whole bowlful\u00a0these days, but I still always grab an extra handful to eat while I’m cooking the rest.
    \n\u00a0<\/li>\n
  5. I am insanely competitive and can’t stand to lose. But I also feel terrible whenever I\u00a0win – I know how badly I feel when I lose, and I don’t want to make anyone else feel that way. So I try to stay away from competitive games and\u00a0situations because I always feel bad, whatever the outcome.
    \n\u00a0<\/li>\n
  6. I love playing adventure games on the PC and all sorts of games on Nintendo Game Boy. I have owned a Game Boy since the original black and white version, and I’ve upgraded to almost every iteration since then: Pocket, Color, Advance, and now Micro. \u00a0When I bought my original one I couldn’t afford any extra games, so I am a Tetris master and can probably still run through Super Mario Land with my eyes closed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And that’s my six! It was\u00a0disturbingly easy to get there…\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Tagging time: I nominate Mia, Rina<\/a>, Mindy<\/a>, Claire<\/a>, and\u00a0I have\u00a02 more spots up for grabs – let me know if you want to be tagged for this one too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
