The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits [that you have]/things [that you hate] about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits [you have]/things [you hate] as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours...

Oh god. I don't know what I have to say because I know people I know in real life might read this. Well, let's get cracking. I'll do twelve since two people tagged me.

1. People who know me know that my linguistic knowledge is formidable. I've studied a wide range including Cantonese, French, Latin, Mandarin, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Japanese and Russian, although I can't say I'm exactly fluent in most of these. Interestingly, Finnish, Japanese and Russian were three languages that I thought were too scary to study at first, and thus they were part of my list of languages I want to avoid.
2. I rarely curse verbally, and when I do, it's usually in Swedish or Finnish.
3. Since I had never looked into anything with rolled r's before, I can't pronounce "Kupari" or "Maarika" correctly. Because of that, when people pronounce their names, I often tell them to roll the r but say it's forgivable if they don't. Pronouncing the j in "Seija" as anything but a consonantal y, however, is unforgivable.
4. I hate making lists like this because I always make it too focused. When I look back, I notice that 90% of my lines are about something that interest me and the other 10% have me complaining about this trend.
5. In classes I find particularly easy, I have a habit of slacking off and asking weird questions to the teacher. One notable case of this is my Chinese class where I ask all sorts of silly questions such as "Which kinship term do you use if you have two children, one of whom was adopted, both of which were born at exactly the same time?" and "Is it not true that you may use the word 'ghost' to form any racial slur?"
6. I feel embarrassed whenever I draw, write music or do anything related to my interests with others present.
7. Similarly, I feel embarrassed whenever my family or friends talk about drawing or writing music to other people.
8. I use MS Word for spellcheck even when IMing.
9. I have a bad habit of using a word and then looking it up on Dictionary.com to check if I used it correctly.
10. I prefer blueberry shampoo.
11. I have a weird preference for Scandinavians. I think they're just so cute. Perhaps that's why all my characters are from that area in the world.
12. I think I'm so cute and pretty and I am. I'm taken though.

I'm tagging:


I'm still contemplating whether I should inform these people using their userpage.
