Five wierd habits - Piddleville edition
December 16th, 2005 by Bill
Only five? … This was prompted because of Brooke, so here’s my contribution:
1) I put off getting haircuts. My hair starts getting long. Then I start playing with the long locks at the back of my head, especially while watching movies. I don’t object to this habit, though. I think this is what hair is for. Playing with.
2) I can’t wear pyjama bottoms because they bunch up behind your knees so, in the winter when it’s cold and I know I’m going to be sleeping alone, I sleep wearing longjohns. I look like Don Knotts in tights. But I sleep well. On the whole, I prefer butt naked but I live in Canada so, in winter, it’s huge heating bills, small testicles or longjohns. I choose longjohns.
3) I arrive at appointments late because I hate getting somewhere and waiting for late people, which most people are. I will walk around the block three times if I get somewhere on time, just to be late.
4) I’ve got the OCD thing happening. There’s a flight of stairs I have to descend to leave my place. Whenever I leave, I travel them at least three times as I check and recheck things like the coffee maker - is it off? Of course it is. I know that. But I check it again anyway.
5) I am particular about how and when and the order of food and beverages I consume. I can only drink coffee in the morning. Tea in the afternoon. Wine in the evening. Salad has to be WITH a meal, not before it. Wine must be WITH the meal, not before it. People, well-intentioned though they may be, are always offering the wrong beverage. I mean, you just don’t drink wine with potato chips. I’m sorry, that is SO wrong. Your damned palate should tell you that.

I miss wearing longjohns in the winter. Like you insinuated, it keeps the important stuff warm.
Freak.
