The rules of this game: List five quirky facts about yourself (I'm not tagging anyone else, but feel free to post the same in your LJ)
1. I was born and married in the year of the rabbit, and have been in love with the little lagamorphs since birth.
2. I used to rollerskate a lot when I was a kid, so when the blading craze took off I had a difficult time getting used to a back brake. I finally bought myself some quad skates this morning on e-bay. They're the first ones I'll be wearing since the time of junior high trips to the Wallex (I wore an old pair of Mom's skates that were super fast due to their wheels made of some kind of stone, versus the rubbery plastic the cheapie mainstream newer skates were).
3. I hate to shop.
4. Two albums remind me of sitting in my room and working on research papers in my freshman year of college: The Smiths "Louder than Bombs" and the 10,000 Maniacs "In My Tribe".
5. Green is my favorite color, though I own a surprisingly small amount of green clothing.

3. I don't like to drink tea (or any hot drink) while there is a lid on it. Even on disposable tea cups, I prefer to take the lid off.
4. I love bubblegum grunge music. Veruca Salt, That Dog, Letters to Cleo, etc...
5. When I leave a door open by accident, and people snap "Were you raised in a barn?", I can say "Yes". (although sometimes it's more effective to moo at them)
Moo!
