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.

Li'l ol' flame-retardant me?

I don't know why, but flame wars don't generally upset me. They just feel like more info about the participants, more than anything else. My feelings get hurt if I'm the one being flamed, but usually only briefly, and often with the result that I find out I've been being stupid. It bothers me, of course, that it hurts people I care about, but I just can't get myself too worked up about the flames themselves. (But I *loathe* it when people send flames in private email, as I've heard some do. I think it's cowardly and reprehensible.)

I'm soooo hungry. I think I'll brave the raindrops and drive somewhere with good vegan sushi. Mmmmmmm, avocado rollllls.
