dannysgirlsg1So I was tagged by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
liliofthevaley to do this meme the other day...
A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".
1. I can imitate a turkey call (you can take this as the actual sound female turkeys make or the 'call' used by hunters). It was something I found out randomly (and I don't remember the exact details of the exact moment when I found out I can do this). Smurf had stopped on a hunting show and they were going for turkeys and used the call...and then I just did it myself. Smurf and all his hunting buddies like to joke that if they ever go turkey hunting, they won't need a call. They'll just take me. *shakes head*
2. Won't say I have a photographic memory, but it might be near to one? This one is hard to explain...I don't remember EVERYTHING by the way it looks or is laid out, but I'm very good at associating things together by how I saw them (if that makes sense at all?) I guess the only way I can really describe it is by examples. The way I am able to recall trivia (such as movie quotes and sg-1 info) is by 'watching' the episode or movie in my head. I see the scene clearly in my mind like it was on TV (why I can quote a lot of movie lines verbatim after only seeing it once). I don't type the way one is supposed to, but by remembering where all the keys are. When we go out somewhere, I remember where a specific place is because of what was near it, how it looked, which way we turned to get there, etc. When I take a test, I recall my 'study guide' in my mind by how it looked when I wrote it (it's why writing things out helps me a lot - i can almost see what I wrote later one) Maybe this is just normal?? IDK, but I always get people saying things like 'how do you remember that?' and whatsuch. *shrugs*
3. Have an acute fear of hospitals...I didn't always, but in recent years it's gotten to the point where if I absolutely don't HAVE to be in one, I won't go in. Even sitting in the waiting rooms (say in the ER) makes me anxious. Definitely have a hard time sitting in an actual hospital room for any extended period of time. I, of course, will go in one if I need to (for myself or a family member, especially my mom). And it's just hospitals - I'm fine in doctors' offices and examination rooms as long as they AREN'T in hospitals.
4. I am always running my fingers through my hair. It's a habit that started back in high school, and I don't know why or when exactly it became something I did constantly (Even as I sit here typing this, I've done it numerous times). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I am always moving in some way (constant ball on energy, usually), or that it comforts me? I don't know really exactly. It just happens on a regular basis now...don't even think about it most of the time. I'm just sitting here, fingers in my hair fiddling with it.
5. My greatest friend in the entire world is my mom. In the whole 21 years of my life, we have never had any real falling out of any kind. She has always been my closest confidant and connection in this world. I cannot lie to her (not when it comes to anything important), I tell her everything, and we are constantly talking or thinking of each other. This probably is because it was just the two of us for a long time, and even now with Smurf and all the people we know, it becomes just me and her. We are always in our own little world when we are together, and when we aren't together, still thinking of our inside jokes and texting or calling each other when we think of them. I don't know what I would do without her, and I wouldn't trade anything in my life to change the relationship we have.
6. I still live in the kid-like mindset that everything has a life and 'feelings', if that makes sense at all. Rationally, I know things like my stuffed animals and computer aren't really ALIVE in the sense that they breathe and move like people. But still, I act like they hear me and are thinking and all that such. It's why I name everything because, to me, there is some kind of soul in there, even if it's just for the creativity of it. Funny little story surrounding this 'concept': I'm STILL annoyed to this day that Shanks called Danny Lion a 'bear' because Danny Lion is LION (and for a very important reason) and nothing else. Danny's feeling were hurt. *snirk* (see what I mean?)
7. One of my BIGGEST pet peeves is when people assume I'm THAT kind of fangirl when it comes to my adoration of Michael Shanks (you know the kind I'm talking about...many Twihards are THAT kind of fangirl). Yes, I talk about him a lot and squee over him often, but a lot of that is connected to the whole 'memory' thing I brought up up there. A lot of the things in my mind, memories and whatsuch, involve him in some way. He is associated visually with many, many things in my mind (I have answered many a question on tests due to associating back to a scene with Shanks, usually as Daniel). I respect him as a person and as an artist, and I owe a lot of 'being here' today to my first time really watching him on Stargate SG-1. This doesn't mean my whole life revolves around him. I understand he has his OWN life and his OWN family and that he doesn't even consider me at all unless I'm there in front of him at a convention. I don't expect to be remembered (though it is a big hope one day he will...if it doesn't happen, no big deal) nor do I think I'm special enough to be. So it annoys the FUCK out of me when people assume I AM one of those fangirls that swoons and dreams and fantasizes. In most cases, if I do that, it's usually in terms of the characters he plays and not Shanks himself. He is a big factor in MY life, I know I'm not in his, and I DO lead a life separately from my fangirling of him. I do not think of him in a sexual way (aside from the joking stuff) because that is a line I will NOT cross. My respect as a fangirl is for him as a person and as an amazing actor. So I often get defensive and annoyed when people make serious comments about me seeing him a completely different way.
Now, who do I tag...hmmmm:taraleesg1 , dvshipper , magnavox_23 , medlam , godzchild96 , caramel_monkey , cleothemuse .
