ruI think I shall do that Eight Things meme, as continued by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gekizetsu.
Eight Things:
1.) I have a thing about how I eat oranges. They need to have as little white lining as possible, and as few of the veiny conduits as manageable. This means that peeling an orange Ru-style takes a bit longer than others might. I do, however, love oranges. And on a more botanical slant, as far as fruit types go, hesperidiums (i.e. citrus fruits) are my favorite. They're just so interesting (for example, the little pod things that actually hold the juice? They're swollen hairs.)
2.) I'm something of a late bloomer. For example, I didn't get my full driver's license until I was 21. I was slow about getting things like AIM, actually using my email address, and getting an LJ. And so on.
3.) I'm predominantly left-handed. I do almost everything with my left hand. Except cut things with scissors. I do that with my right. Go figure.
4.) On road trips, I like to stare out the window at the trees rushing by and try and pick out ones that I recognize. THERE'S a big surprise.
5.) One of my childhood dream jobs was paleontologist. Yep, I went through the dinosaur phase as well (Parasurolophus was, and still is, I suppose, my favorite). Admittedly, paleobotany still interests me. Now, if I can only get into the class for it at some point...
6.) I still remember my Prodigy password. No, I won't tell you. You might find a way to go back in time, and then use my Prodigy account for nefarious doings. Very slow nefarious doings.
7.) I was trying to write stories as early as fourth grade (second, if you count the fact that I was writing poems then). The one that I remember sticking out most in my mind featured, among other characters, a mermaid in her own sort of personal go-kart aquarium. You know, so she could get around.
8.) Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this--sometimes, if someone gets me laughing hard enough, I'll end up with a case of the hiccups, all from being amused. As far as I know, I'm the only one who has this issue.
And, since #8 triggered this memory, bonus fact #9: In the category of Strange Things Coming Out Your Nose from Laughing Too Hard: Circumstances once ended up with me laughing so hard that udon soup came out my nose.dlbieder knows all about this. :p
And now, eight people to tell us interesting habits/facts about themselves:

7.) Eeee, tardigrades! I adore them. They're like six-legged bears! That wiggle cutely! ^_^
