List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
Tag seven people to do the same.
Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it." (I love the way memes always come with that rule now, because it always sounds like something Hermione Granger would add--do it right!)
Tagging: Jlh, ali_wildgoose, ava_jamison, samaranth, dorrie6, horridporrid, ptyx. Do iiiiiiiiit.
1. I regularly do a list of "100 tolerations" that somebody told me about once. You list 100 things you're tolerating, from big (too-small salary, for instance) to small (lost my favorite pen). Then you try to cross off as many as possible. Yesterday I got rid of the one extra key on my keychain that fit nothing. Yeah!!!
2. At daycamp when I was in first grade they gave out awards to everyone like "best athlete" or "best swimmer" or "funniest laugh." I was really quiet back then and even I couldn't imagine what they'd come up with for me (pickiest eater?). I got...most cooperative camper. To this day I consider it the lamest award ever. It's the "sometimes we forget she exists" award.
3. My senior year in high school, however, I was voted class clown in the yearbook.
4. I share a cousin with Robert Downey Jr.
5. I went to an intense meditation retreat where I spent 10 days not speaking, reading or writing, with minimal food. It was kind of awesome.
6. Based on a random lie from a co-worker, a woman at work spent over a year believing I was a nun from reeeeally progressive convent.
7. I have never tasted coffee.

#2 really is 'every child wins a prize'. 'Most co-operative/cheerful/helpful...' features such a lot in infants school prize-givings, you knew it was because the teachers didn't have much else to say about the little kid in question. The blandness of it was made up for by the parents whoops of delight and congratulations, almost as if it were the Nobel peace prize.
You showed them with #3 :P
#6 - did the truth ever come out?
#7 makes me shudder. Beyond my comprehension. O-O

LOL! The funny thing at camp was the parents weren't even there. I suppose all the kids and counselors clapped, though. You can see I remembered it years later when 3 happened. Take that, cooperation! (Actually, I think I'm still pretty cooperative.)
You know, I don't think the truth did come out. Because the only way I found out was the guy in question was talking to me once and this woman came up--I didn't have much interaction w/her. She must have said something odd to me that I mentioned and he was like, "She might be under the impression you're a nun." "Why would she think that?" "I might have told her..." and then he told me the story. So I don't know if he ever actually told her the truth before she went to work somewhere else!
