Took me a while to do this even though I was tagged, because a)
I had trouble coming up with five habits. I'm just not all that
weird, apparently. Really. ;)

b) I've been busy learning and trying penny stacking. After
seeing this site: http://www.fincher.org/Misc/Pennies/index.shtml
last night I had to give it a try. I've successfully managed
a three-span penny bridge and got very close to both a four
span and a two-level three span bridge (both collapsed as I
was trying to connect them finally).

Five Weird Habits:

The rules: If you get tagged, you must post an entry listing 5 "weird habits" that you possess. Then you must pick 5 more people to tag, and list their names at the end of the entry.

1. I try to eat at least one bite of food before I get to the table.
I don't know why, I just do.

2. If I'm sitting in a chair and I'm not using my hands, one tends
to rest while tugging my shirt collar if I'm reading or something.

3. I have a lot of trouble sleeping while lying on my back... and
yet, that's the way I'm most comfortable so I always _try_ to
go to sleep on my back before eventually giving up.

4. At work, if I have time waiting before the truck arrives,
I climb up to the highest shelf and read and watch people going
by who have no idea I'm up there.

5. I always try to take the stairs instead of an escalator or
elevator (except sometimes if I'm in a huge flow of people and
it's just too much of a pain to fight against them and make it to
the stairs instead of the escalator they're all heading for).

Tagging: To be honest, I've lost track of who's been tagged and
who hasn't on my flist. If you haven't been tagged, go for it!
