Too many posts today (can you tell I am at down and dirty end of edits?) but  girliejones tagged me, and thus I must.

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 love sports movies, fiercely and without repentance. This used to be a much more interesting/unusual/quirkier quirk before I discovered that I do in fact also love sport. Well, soccer. Well, Arsenal. But in any case, I love sports movies even if they do not feature soccer or Arsenal, so I think it still counts.

2. I braid my hair every night before I go to bed. I have been assured it is quirky. Having spent a large chunk of my life with waist-length hair I maintain it is sensible. Even though I currently have just-past-shoulder length hair.

3. The first thing I do when I get home is kick my shoes off. Even before I take the baby off, if she is in her pouch. Shoes = gone.

4. The banner on my new website features a picture of me dressed as a pineapple. Seriously. It is of course, very small.

5. Yes, my mother dressed me as a pineapple. At the time she was also responsible for a troupe of kiddie dancers re-enacting the classic Sesame Street song ‘ladybug’s picnic.’ I think the pineapple had something to do with ‘Aga Doo’ – yes, I did take dance classes in the 80′s.

6. I have spent the entire year procrastinating about calling the local dance studio to arrange ballet classes for Raeli, even though she desperately wants them and has not given up her bizarre desire to don a pink sparkly tutu. BALLET. I have now decided to suck it up and be a supportive mother, even though the thought of it makes me feel vaguely queasy. (body image issues! pink pink pink! little girls and deportment! All this and she might still be too young to get on a soccer team next year!)

7. I really should be working right now.

I will tag the following people, though I maintain that tagging is a barbaric exercise of guilt-inducing proportions and the following people should be completely free to ignore me as the wench I am (possibly I am mostly using this to see what hideous things WordPress does to LJ user html):

 aifin,  jumbled_words,  godiyeva,  looneymoth,  waqem007,  zeft.

[Edit, that is fascinating, they just vanished in WordPress but appeared in LJ. Oooo.]
[Also apparently it is not possible to edit wordpress without also editing LJ ... possibly this is of interest only to me. Okay, going to work for reals now.]
