Sixes
I've been tagged! Yes, In Limine got me with the "Sixes" meme. For this one you are supposed to "list six of your own very unique oddities/quirks." To which I can only respond, "We're limited to six?!" My wife, Kristyna, helped me narrow it down to these:
1. I am very obsessively organized. I have meta "To-Do" lists.
2. I'm pretty OCD: I have to have the TV Remotes all lined up and angled in the same direction; all the a/c knobs in my car have to be pointed in the same direction, temperature be damned; I chew an even number of times on each side of my mouth.
3. I archive *all* e-mail. Seriously. I have e-mail dating back to 1990 when I first started using e-mail in college.
4. I clean the house before I go on vacation (so I can return to a clean house).
5. When I travel, I take old underwear that is past its prime, and just throw it out instead of doing laundry.
6. I like to paint my toenails (feet are ugly).
Yeah, several of those are related to my OCD tendencies, but that's the way it goes. :)
Six people to tag? The Usual Suspects: Ken, Kate, Scott, Jason, Amy, Angie

#2 is pretty funny. #5 is a good idea. #6 I have questions about - like clear to imitate a buff polish? Or sheer something?
No, never sheer... like deep red/maroon, or metallic green...
Sheer would maintain ugly footness. Gross. :)
Hmmm I need to think about this one ... I'll put the answers up on my "other" journal (http://soul-stepfather.livejournal.com).
#3: What email client is able to handle all that mail?
#4: Great idea. I'll have to try that.
#6: ? Is it safe to say you don't freqently wear open-toed sandals in the summer?
I consider myself rather open minded, and yet I'm taken aback. A man? Who paints his toenails? With a color? Hmm...
A straight man, at that! :) I've done it since college. They aren't always painted, just when it's nice enough out to wear Tevas or be barefoot.
Well, I'm all for anyone who wants to improve the look of their feet. Too many people either don't realize or don't care that they have gross feet. So I applaud your paint job!

Hmm.
#3 sounds like it might pose a problem to your capacity for plausible deniability as an attorney :P #5 sounds like an excellent idea - definitely going to implement that one.
#4 I do that too!! Thought I was the only one...
and #2 -- that's just....strange. :D
Gosh I like the underwear tip.
I wear them they have holes and then still can't bear to throw a piece of clothing in the trash. I'm going to steal that one. (That's the most sane of your six. :)
Remember the '100 things about me' meme?
That's just way too many!
But six is way too few. Especially for weirdos such as you and I.
