Boy, was there competition for these slots.

I've been tagged (by She) to, aherm, "Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself."

Since my unofficial motto is "All I ask of life is a constant and exaggerated sense of my own importance", I'm dropping the "unimportant" bit of that meme. After all, I don't celebrate my birthday because a) I am too amazing to fit all of the celebrations into a single day; and b) if I were to be celebrated properly, the economies of several countries would be destroyed. I am simply not unimportant.

At any rate, the six things:

1. I shelve my books alphabetically by author, grouped by genre. (My CDs? Alpha by artist, then alpha by title. My DVDs? Alpha by title.)
2. I cannot stand to be around musical theatre, karaoke, or light opera. I have perfect pitch, so if anyone is just the slightest bit sharp or flat, it's as delightsome as a thousand fingers on a chalkboard. (I can dismiss the traditional birthday singing/torture as "a bunch of people making noise which may or may not be vaguely musical"; but anything that either features fewer than three voices or makes any pretensions toward being a performance needs to be pitch-perfect...or I'll wince.
3. I'm one of the few people I know who has a fairly good relationship with their own body. I don't hate my weight. I don't even necessarily dislike it, even though I'm medically overweight. I dislike the tone of a few muscle groups, but that's it.
4. I own a pair of bellydance pants, even though I'm not planning on making performance-dancing a big part of my life. They were just way too cool-looking not to buy. (See?)
5. I tend to volunteer for most conventions that I attend. They're my way of giving back to the community that's encouraged my behavior all these years.
6. I keep all my clothes sorted by type (tops, bottoms, jackets, dresses) and sorted by color and hue within those groups. I've actually maintained this organization system for the past 20 years. (If I ever go so far as to sort by style or sleeve length, though...somebody shoot me.)

I now tag...whomever wants to be tagged.
