I've been tagged

According to Emily, I've been tagged and have to post six of my quirks. I am going to cheat and use some of Phil's too.

1) I pour milk in my cereal bowl first, then add a small layer of cereal and eat it, add another layer, eat it, and on and on, thus avoiding soggy cereal, which is disgusting to me.

2) When I make hamburgers or handle raw chicken, I wash my hands a zillion times during the process. I am paranoid about getting germs on my seasoning bottles or on my dishtowels.

3) When I do laundry on the weekend, I always leave the last load in the dryer. We then pull out what we need during the week, and I will finally get around to folding it when the next load needs the dryer.

4) I will probably get in trouble for this one, but Phil's most recently discovered quirk is night terrors. I woke up a couple of nights ago to Phil screaming his head off. I grabbed his arm to wake him up and yet he still screamed. Then, he jumped OVER me and onto the floor next to the bed. Apparently in his mind, he was sliding down a hill towards a giant snake, and then the snake "grabbed" him and he had to jump over the snake. It was quite the frightening experience for me!

5) I am paranoid. When I'm walking out of work or leaving the dart station I am constantly checking to see who is around me and creating escape plans in my head for what I will do if they "attack" me. When I fly I check out the other passengers for anyone who looks nervous or like they might want to blow up our plane.

6) It seems that Phil's quirks that come to the top of my head are all sleep related. If Phil falls asleep before me, then woe is me. His whole body will involuntarily jerk or spasm every 30 seconds or so at the beginning of his sleep cycle. It makes falling asleep next to him very difficult some nights!

Yes! I think you should include a picture of Phil's back to show the extent of the night terrors! Funny funny, love the quirks :)
