The self-interview concept is from Shawn at everythingandnothing.
I was tagged by Shawn, and I’m nothing if not cooperative.

Following Shawn’s lead at Everything and Nothing on self-interviewing, I’ve decided to answer the questions that James Lipton from Bravo’s “Inside the Actors Studio,” borrowed from Bernard Pivot. (C’mon; if you’ve seen the show, you know you always wanted to do this.)

| You Are Blitzen |
 Always in good spirits, you’re the reindeer who loves to party down with Santa. Why You’re Naughty: You’re always blitzed on Christmas Eve, while flying! Why You’re Nice: You mix up a mean eggnog martini. |

I was tagged by Christina.
Ground rules: The first player of this “game” starts with the topic “Five Weird Habits of Yourself” and the people who get tagged need to then write a LJ entry about their five quirky little habits as well as state the rules of this game clearly. In the end, you need to list the next five people you want to tag.
Five Weird Habits:
1. If I talk when I’m mad, I don’t use contractions.
2. If I find out there’s a dog in a movie, I won’t watch it unless someone can tell me the dog doesn’t die.
3. I will go to great lengths to avoid walking down a flight of stairs or stepping off of a curb.
4. No matter how tired I am, I can’t fall asleep without reading something–even if it’s only a page or two.
5. I need a steady noise when I sleep. A fan is best.
I won’t tag you, but I’d love to see your weird habits. =)
