6 weird things (meme) and I won?

I won a contest over at Knittymama's blog - for the 'I Can't Believe I Knit That! sweater entry. Thanks Knittymama! I really can't believe it, as I read all of the other stories and there were some things to learn from there! That is, for me -- I have a LOT to learn about knitting, as we can see ;o) Thanks Knittymama! (psst. does anyone have her email, please?)

Obsidian Kitten challenged me to this meme. Well, I'm super tired from three hours of sleep between kitten-rearing last night. These little ones are so worth it though! OK - I'm caffeinated, so here goes.

6 Weird things/habits about me. Well I will skip two medical ones, although they are indeed weird, and go onto six others.

1.) I too, clean like a furious tornado when I am worried or stressed. This comes, also, from my mother. I find it easier, though, to clean other people's houses than my own, unless someone is coming over to visit that isn't family. I clean like the wind then, too.

2.) I do automatic drawings, in ink. They are my specialty. I usually draw them while listening to music. A few lines and dashes on the paper turn into a crazy mix/mess of people, fish, birds and everything else.

3.) I attach to helpless things really quickly - like kittens, etc... not quite like the little girl in LooneyTunes, that won't let go of the kitty, ;o) but I'm the mothering type. I get very emotional about these little things.

4.) I am ambidextrous. I can write and draw with both hands. The left hand is shaky, but legible. I can also write backwards, but only with my right.

5.) I am a wordy linguistics geek. I love languages, ancient and contemporary. I have 'no ear' for speaking languages, but I understand and read three foreign languages quite well.

6.) I have lucid dreams in colour that are oh-so-psychadelic at times... but I think it's a good thing. I learn a lot from my dreams ;o) like what I'm worrying about lately.

there we go!
