A Weird Meme

I guess I'd better get my 6 weird thing out while this meme is still going strong. Soo . . . here goes . . .

1. I eat my dry cereal without milk. I can't stand soggy food and I don't like the way milk tastes. I must have my orange juice when I have breakfast or I feel out of sorts for the rest of the day.

2. I will eat a lemon without batting an eyelash. I have a high tolerance for acidic, tart food.

3. I get very nauseous every time I see something on tv, or read in the newspapers and magazines, about eye treatments, injuries and such. My eyes are my ears, so there's that fear of not having full use of my eyes. It takes great effort not to think about this as I have a very vivid imagination, and I will sometimes have to leave the room or change the channel.

4. I'm very interested in the 16th century history and I'm always thinking of what I'd be doing if it was 1516 in Venice or 1534 at the Spanish court. If you asked me to give you the genealogical background of an royal figure, I could probably draw out the family tree, and even tell you how interrelated their descendants were (especially the Hapsburgs). I'm always having certain years floating around in my mind. 1500s to 1560s pop up very frequently; 1570s to 1580s less often and the 1590s very rarely show up in my mind.

5. I will dream of something and years later everything happens exactly as I had dreamed. Most of the time I will forget what I've dreamed, and then when that event occurs I will almost instantly remember that I've dreamed of this. I may be psychic, but I don't put much stock in it.

6. I can go for a long time without eating sweet food, and then have moments where I just have to have something sweet to eat every day, whether it's a bit of dark chocolate, or an eclair. I've even been known to nibble on bits of brown sugar if I can't find any candy or such in my house.
