The Mandelbear's Musings

I seem to have been tagged by pocketnaomi, and this one seems somewhat interesting.

Instructions: Each player starts with 7 random habits/facts about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged & list their names.

Added by me: I don't like to tag people -- it seems like an imposition, and I don't need to do any such thing. If you're interested, jump in. If not, I won't have bothered you.

1. I find it difficult to sleep on the left-hand side of a bed. When I'm sleeping by myself I usually sleep on my side facing toward the left, but when I'm sleeping with the flower_cat we sleep back-to-back, so I'm facing to the right.
2. I like to walk, usually around lunchtime. If I don't get enough walking in, I tend to get very restless.
3. I buy identical pairs of socks, so I don't have to bother sorting them. (My hiking socks, which I like to use on longer walks, are different from my everyday socks, but because they can be distinguished at a glance I can keep them in separate piles.)
4. I am probably the only person to have written a song about RFC 1149 and its implementation.
5. I often make myself a bowl of fried rice for breakfast, or Ma Po tofu when there's tofu in the house.
6. I'm a packrat. I keep things in piles. My stacks of unread magazines were declared a fire hazard once, at a previous job some 20-odd years ago.
7. My birthday is March 13^th, 1947, the 17^th anniversary of day the discovery of the planet Pluto was announced.
