izmeina | Unforgiveably Wierd

timatina has placed the Imperius Curse on this poor unsuspecting serpent under the guise of some seemingly innocuous game. The Preciousss also seems to be in on it too, so in a state of utter exhaustion we find ourselves no longer able to resist their evil commands and find our fingers flying over the keyboard - seemingly of their own accord.

Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 of your weird habits," and people who get tagged need to write a LJ entry about their 5 weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

1 Izzie has a pet rat with some very peculiar habits. Wormtail is rather partial to camembert cheese, crackers (especially the thin wafery sorts) and the odd glass or two of cabernet. In fact, he insists on the first sniff and sip of every glass of red that darkens the Izzie's lips. And what the Rat wants, the Rat gets.

2 The Izzie has been known to hiss and snarl when grumpy, especially at consumers of stinking coffin nails and screaming squawking rotten little rugrats. We so so hates the noisy little beasties.
And then other times the Izzie hisses just to announce her presence among those who are aware of her serpentine tendencies. What's really sweet is when certain folks hiss back (Like the lady at work who has a large collection of pink and fluffy cats and an extremely dark sense of humour, who Izzie calls the Lizard Queen)

3 The Izzie does not collect pink and fluffy dolls, cats or similar creatures but is very partial to teddy bears and have even made some ourselves. Fussy Izzie only likes mohair and other such real materials.

4 Izzie does not have a sweet tooth and goes out of her way to avoid sugar and salt of any sort. Sweeteners are even lower on the Izzie list of acceptable food ingredients along with anything GM. This sounds a bit peculiar in light of our addiction to chocolate but it is the dark and bitter stuff that we prefer where the bitterness offsets the sweetness. On the other hand, the Iz is most fond of savory tastes like cheese and peanut butter which we will put on just about anything. There's nothing that cannot be improved with cheese, chickpeas or sesame seeds.

5 Izzie is a bit of a goblin at heart and has kept a little green book since the age of 15 or so where we write down everything that we spend. Used to even go so far as to put stuff into categories such as rent, groceries, booze, books etc and balance the books at the end of every month. Getting a big fat zero at the end of the month was a most rare event indeed but it was not worth the hassle of searching for the missing millions for most months. So in the end we were satisfied with any discrepencies between income, expenditure and savings of less than $$20 for the month and to have the assets column getting bigger every month.
But once we got our paws on the Lair, got a bit slack and in early 2002 stopped bothering with the rituals at the end of the month. But we have still kept up our daily squiggles and a most amazing memory jogger it can be many moons later.

Since Izzie is such a nice nice serpent and has no desire to serve a sentence in Azkaban - instead of whispering incantations to unsuspecting victims, the Izzie asks for volunteers instead.
