tagged with another meme

Okay, after having protested that I'm not weird, it's the rest of the world, I'm doing this.
Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yours" and people who get tagged need to write a LJ entry about their 5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.
1. I use mouthwash and brush my hair at the same time; I count strokes of the hair brush to keep track of how long I've had the Listerine in my mouth.
2. I garden by the principle that there is no such thing as too many daffodils.
3. I almost always say yes to more paying work, even when I know that it will leave me triple-booked and low on sleep. (And I always say I won't do it again.)
4. When visiting other people, I pick up books they've left lying around and start reading, often preferring the book to conversation.
5. At any given time, I have a book I am in the progress of reading in at least 5 rooms of the house.
Right, so now I'm supposed to tag people. Okay, no idea at the moment who's already done this meme, although I know it's been around a while. So if you've already done it, feel free to ignore me. Tag, you're it,
bonniers,
adais,
chanphenglew,
touch_of_ink, and
hookedoncoffee.

I was thinking this week I might try to post what's in my "current" pile in each room, as well as, say, the top 20 or so on shelves that are TBR as soon as I get around to them, like Gun, Germs, and Steel.

Date: 2006-02-26 09:07 am (UTC)& I'd certainly read a list of your TBR books - I can't walk around your house and look at your bookshelves without a plane ticket, but hey, all writers look at the bookshelves whenever they enter someone's house or apartment for the first time. I didn't think I did that, but um, I was lying to myself.
