swat tagged me, and although I don't really do memes, my journal -is- amazingly empty, so I shall still post 6 weird habits/facts/dislikes about myself, but I am not going to tag anyone. I don't believe in spreading these kinda things.. It's kinda like a disease in the way it spreads.. o.o

1. My memory is in a way split in that certain things I can memorize after seeing it once (something that sometimes annoys people to no end), and other types of information just wont stick, like dates and phonenumbers and the likes. I'm 26 (heh.. Almost wrote 25 there.. Have trouble remembering my own age too), and yet I still cannot remember how old my mother, my brother, my father, and my girlfriend is, let alone most of my friends. Nor do I remember birthdays unless I have an alarm to notify me of them.. Some of the people I mentioned I can remember the age of because I've had to remember it recently, and it sticks for a bit after that, but usually slips away after a week or two.

2. I work as a programmer, and I love my job. However that's not the quirk.. The oddity is that one of the things I like to do when I'm not working, and just wanna relax, maybe have a bit of fun.. Is to program as well. Apparently it's -not- normal to do in your spare time what you do at work. Hence why I mention it here.

3. I drink coffee, and I love to do so, despite the fact that I'm not all that hot on the taste of it, so what I often like to do is let the coffee cool down quite a bit, and then drink the entire mug down in one go. ^^;; And then when I decide I want to enjoy it, I can do so in many different ways. Sometimes adding stuff to it (cream, sugar, milk, or syrup), sometimes not.

4. The place I go when I need to think, that works best is the bathroom.. No kidding.. I grab my laptop, or pen and paper, and just sit there, as I note things down.

5. I absolutely adore cooking, as long as I get to do it for others, and not just myself. And I tend to go out of my way to make it as delicious as possible for the people involved. ^^

6. I went from hating pretty much every single part of myself, body and otherwise, to loving it all, despite all its obvious flaws, because I realized that my girlfriend loves me no matter what, and hating any part of myself, is hating something she loves.. And so I ended up actually loving myself.. In a strictly non-egotistical way, mind you :P
