curious4. When I'm having a bad day and want comfort food, I go home and curl up with a big bowl of frozen peas that have been heated in the microwave. All I put on them is a) salt, and b) pepper. This stems from a childhood misinterpretation of what chickpeas were, when the characters in a book I loved ate "fresh hot buttered chickpeas."
3. My family was very, very poor when I was younger. As a consequence, I think that butter tastes horrible, because we always got a brick of government butter in our "please don't starve to death" box. Margarine, on the other hand, is the taste of luxury. I had a bad margarine habit for a while after getting my first job, and bought a tub every time I went to the store.
2. I am very superstitious, and very picky about my superstitions. I count crows, pick up pennies, and occasionally look for auguries in bags of M&Ms. I do not, however, freak out when I see a funeral procession, or insist on touching my collar and asking magpies how their wives are. This helps me strike a good balance. Just never get between me and a street penny.
1. I have a paralyzing phobia of pudding, which extends to all "pudding-type" substances, including custard and overly-warm milkshakes. Suddenly biting into an unexpected cream filling has been known to make me throw up on the spot. Luckily, this does not extend to the unnatural white goo inside Twinkies.
So that's five things you may or may not know about me. What do you think I may or may not know about you?

I imagine you know nothing about me, except maybe that I have that little dragon shoulder puppet which you saw at Comic Con.
Let's see.
5. I cheerfully tear apart bad books (such as the Inheritance Series) on my own LJ chapter by chapter by chapter and apparently this amuses people.
4. I collect Legos. Or I say I collect Legos as an excuse to justify buying them. I especially like the castle LEGOS.
3. My family is rife with Asperger's syndrome. I have it, my mom has it, my brother has it, several people in other parts of the tree have it. My dad is OCD on the other hand. It makes dinners very interesting in the family.
2. I've lived in the same house for my entire life, except the past three years when I moved about a mile away.
1. Also a penny picker upper. And a dime. Quarter. Nickle. And last week I found a dollar bill! :D
