Only because the lady asked ...
They come when you least expect them and devour all blogging networks in the process.
Yes, it's meme time again. The wonderfully mellifluent Sinéad, who I had the pleasure of meeting in person for the first time last Tuesday, has slapped this 5 Weird Habits on me.
First off, the rules.
1. I get bored easily on public transport. To remedy this, I watch and look a lot at my fellow passengers. I especially like to read what they're reading. Company documents, novels, printed emails and student notes all provide great hints in the game of working out who this stranger is.
2. Not so much a weird habit as a consumer weapon, but I research products to death on the Internet before I buy them. I need to know what other buyers thought and especially how much it costs in the various Internet highstreet shops.
3. I hold my breath around old people.
4. I rarely watch movies a second or third time (hence I don't really buy DVDs). I do a similar thing with CDs that I previously played ad finitum. Now, they only get a spin on special occasions.
5. I derive pleasure from other people's horrible habits. For example, I really dislike sounds people make with their mouths when eating, annoying tapping movements and when kids kick your chair. But at the same time I like it. Must be some sort of pleasure/pain paradox.
Instead of being cliquey (not a real word, I know), I'd like to pass this on to some new Irish bloggers. So, I've hunted down some neophytes (past 6 months) from POTB and slapped them good and hard with this meme. You're it.

First off, the rules.
The first player of this game starts with the topic “five weird habits of yourself,” and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don’t forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says “You are tagged” (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.
