6 Weird Things

As Per BSH's instructions:
The Rules : Each player of this game starts with the "6 weird things about you." People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own re: 6 weird things, as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says 'you are tagged' in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

1) I have Chronic Hives.
2) When viewing uncomfortable things (on television or in life) I have to use my two hands to make a "bad things" telescope to peer through, in order to distance myself from the situation.
3) Preferably every day, but at least every few days I have to lie down on the floor of the bathroom while the shower is running (cold water). I have done this since I was little and I had really bad asthma, my parents would put the shower on hot and have me steam until I could breath again. It always felt really safe, and it meant that I was going to feel better. Anyway, the "habit" stuck, now I use the cold water, and I usually read or do crossword puzzles.
4) I recently purchased 6 Anya figurines from the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer because 6 were cheaper than one (I am not that person) it was mostly as a joke. I don't know who the "joke" is on though. If you're looking to take them off my hands just let me know.
5) I used to do rat surgery in a psychopharmacology lab. I would put tubes in the rat's jugular vein (which on a rat is tiny), pull the tube out through their back, and sew a shunt into their skin. All so they could get cocaine directly into their bloodstream when they pressed a lever with their paw.
6) My whole life I have had a problem with obsessions. I don't just like things, I become completely obsessed, and then shamed and (for most of them) never want to talk about the obsession again. My family and friends on the other hand love to bring them up. So a short list in Chronological order: Pinnochio, Garfield, Billy Joel, Madonna, Egypt, Barbara Striesand, The X-Files, Jodie Foster, Evita, Absolutely Fabulous, French and Saunders, Dolly Parton, and Strangers With Candy. My apologies to said friends and family for having to see me through some of these. Thank you for your patience.

I only have two people to tag Perpetual Huddle and Tripping Up The Escalator
