wispfox(mostly sparked by reading a very small subset of my friends list)
Why did so many people on my friends list go off caffeine _at the same time_?!
*looks at you all skeptically*
Why am I completely incapable of coherent conversation until I've been out-of-bed-awake for 30+ minutes? I used to be able to talk immediately upon awakening...
I don't know dates. For much of anything. My own birthday is iffy. Relatedly, I don't know when I did what with anyone, ever - my brain's timeline is almost entirely nonexistent. Sometimes, it's difficult for me to even know _if_ I did foo with bar, since sometimes my dreams feel as realistic as reality. This is probably why I'm so fond of written communication. (you want me to remember something? WRITE IT DOWN! But not on paper, because I'll lose it)
I learned to turn off ticklishness (one exception, and I'm _not_ telling y'all what it is!) as a kid, because I have three brothers. I rather like breathing, and people seem to no understand that laughing != having fun. Often, yes. Not always. Is almost certainly why I _always_ apologize for ticking people, even if they don't mind tickling. And if you _do_ manage to tickle me, and I ask you to stop, do so immediately. Not doing so is a trust-killer. (if you think you managed to tickle me and I _don't_ ask you to stop, it's probably mostly some other kind of sensation)
OK. Now, I go and bring my kitty to his yearly vet visit.

Date: 2004-08-16 10:44 pm (UTC)/me boggles at the concept of someone not stopping immediately if asked. I want to make a satirical concept about it but I just can't wrap my mind around it...
Writing down is important for me too. I tell people that if it's not in e-mail, then the statement doesn't exist. I just don't retain auditory information...

It's all DJ's fault. :-)
