1. What is your biggest pet peeve? Why?

Self-righteousness. Because it's easy for me to slip into, and I find it to be appallingly rude and unattractive.

2. What irritating habits do you have?

Talking over people; overapologizing; messiness; acting superior.

3. Have you tried to change the irritating habits or just let them be?

Both, to a degree. For instance, I've tried to both be a better listener *and* recognize that my chattiness is a manifestation of how fascinating I find the world and everything in it. I don't mind so much any more that I'm a compulsive talker, but I try to balance that with active listening.

4. What grosses you out more than anything else? Why?

Injuries involving blood and gore. Real ones. They don't bother me much in fictional representations. Why? Um, dunno.

5. What one thing can you never see yourself doing that other people do?

Being monoamorous.

1. What is your biggest pet peeve? Why?

People who abuse because its easier than learning to stand on their own feet (laziness rather than real problems)

2. What irritating habits do you have?

Lecturing, talking lots, overtalking people, not seeing things their way, and being right :P
(But I do listen, so it kinda balances out. I hope!)

3. Have you tried to change the irritating habits or just let them be?

Yes, but I'm gentle on myself. Habits will change given gentle and continual attention. I dont like abuse of others, and I dont feel the need to abuse myself by telling a habit its "bad" when its doing the best it knows how. As for the rest, when I'm mistaken, I accept it. Time will make change....

4. What grosses you out more than anything else? Why?

Nothing I've found yet. Its all reality. reality isnt "gross". Its just, reality.

(Or at least, is on this earthly level. At other levels, its all made up anyway so its even less worth being upset over. Altho at those levels, 'upset' is just made up too :P)

5. What one thing can you never see yourself doing that other people do?

• Being deliberately abusive and malicious
• Rewriting the past to make it convenient for how I feel in the present.
• Forgetting Who I am.
• Becoming cynical.
• Not being in wonder.
• Minding personal loss, personal injury/illness, and personal death deep down.
• Forgetting what I've seen/felt of this world.
• Being content with my life.
• Doing things without knowing why, only to regret them afterwards (99% - the odd minor one slips through, once every few years)
• fearing what comes.
• Losing trust.
• Becoming deeply insecure, deeply embittered, deeply fearful.
• Hate.
• Seeking stability by means of a static life (the stability of the boulder rather than the stability of the spinning top).
• Being sensible all the time.

Enough? :)
