Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six of your friends and tag them; no tag backs. This explanation should be included.

I don’t do a lot of memes, but when I read a version of this one on Meallanmouse‘s journal a couple of weeks ago I wondered what I’d write if I did it. So when Kino Kid mentioned that she’d be interested in what I’d come up with, since I’ve already done the work, so to speak, I thought that I may as well type it out.

1. I own five copies of Jane Eyre. Every single one of them is different, and I own each of them for a reason.
2. I have very sensitive ears. They itch a lot, which makes me rub them frequently. They get very achy when there’s a cool breeze out, too.
3. I am mildly obsessive about three-second stops at stopsigns. The rest of the world is not. I hate feeling rushed when I’m on the road, especially when what I’m doing is legal and theoretically what everyone else ought to be doing as well.
4. I am very stubborn when it comes to taking medication for just about anything, but once I do, I’m committed to doing it properly.
5. I can’t stand to break a book’s spine, not even crease it by accident. The way around this, I have discovered, is to buy more books secondhand, because they’re generally already broken. Or to read more hardcovers.
6. When one of my favourite books is rereleased with a new cover, I have to fight the impulse to buy it all over again. (Assuming the new illustration is attractive, that is.) This is particularly challenging when the redesign occurs in the middle of a series.

I won’t tag others. But, as Roo said, if you feel inspired, go forth, my lemmings, and share…
