RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs. 

This is always hard because I can easily think of 10 weird things when I don't have to...

1. I wear my socks inside-out. I can't stand the feeling of that seam running across my toes.
2. I sort my candy by colors/flavors and eat according to a pattern - usually eating my least favorites down until I have the same number of each then eating one of each in a round-robin affair.
3. I don't like my foods to touch on my plate. I like to construct the perfect mix of foods with each bite.
4. My grandfather and great-grandfather both died of hiccups and I hate getting them because of it. Yes, really.
5. I come from a family of atheists and became a Catholic in 1995.
6. I shaved my head once and will never do it again because I have an ugly skull.
7. I like to shoot guns though I can't say I'm great at it.
8. I dream of having a metallic tangerine Triumph Bonneville someday.
9. The smell of a musty towel is enough to send me over the edge, and I insist that whatever happens in my bathroom, my towel will be kept flat and dry, not wadded up or layered under anything else that may cause it to become musty.
10. I get serious road-rage and swear uncontrollably behind the wheel. Good thing I live in los Angeles where there's no traffic... oh wait...

I tag chartreusekitty , colleency , edmndclotworthy , eldawen345 , jenthompson ,  lizcostumes , myralea , pinkdiamond , myladyswardrobe , sewphisticate - for some reason, LJ thinks none of you exist right now so no profile links...

I didn't know it was possible to die of hiccups, how awful!

And interesting that you became a Catholic! :-)

Died from hiccups? Did it cause a stroke or something? I get hiccups constantly and now I am suddenly terrified!

Yeah, hiccups, weird.

I'm not sure of my great grandpa's origins of them, but I know he had them for several days before dieing of exhaustion. My grandpa had a stroke and one of the results, along with not being able to swallow, was hiccups. I suspect a stroke was involved with his dad, too. My grandpa had them for weeks before he went, and when he was relaxed or sleeping they were very mild, but still visible. I think he was annoyed by them more than anything, but still, it takes a toll on the body.

So, no, I am not a freak for being freaked out by hiccups!

My uncle once had hiccups for several days, and then they did a surgery on him that stopped the hiccups and prevented them from ever re-occuring. I sometimes get hiccups for several hours at a time, mainly in reaction to certain foods. Hiccups are odd things but I'm glad to know that there's a surgery in case mine get stuck in the on position.

Wowee, I'm glad to know that, too! It may just save my life! LOL!
