Six Unusual Things About Me:

I've been tagged by Nancy. Thank you very much for the chance to face myself, Nancy. ... I am not really sure what to write though.

1. I am very fond of sleeping: I do love to sleep. Every morning I have a hard time getting out of the bed. And it doesn't even matter how much sleep I have gotten the night before. If I don't push myself, I wouldn't be able to get up all day long.
2. I have the wonderful ability to mix up left and right - think and say right but show left. So in my head it's completely in order but my hands would show the opposite. I have to really concentrate to get it right which never happens the first time.
3. I don't like untidiness at home: At home everything has to be in order and clean. I am very picky about how things are placed and turned. Every time somebody else, say a maid, takes care of the cleaning, I go through each room and rearrange most to all of the objects - 'cause they are not in the right spot and angle. Funny part: I absolutely don't mind how it looks at someone else's place. I wouldn't even notice whether everything is nice and clean or in disorder.
4. However, I am very messy each time I stay at a hotel. My stuff is usually spread all over the room and I wouldn't mind if room service just skips my room. The mess gives it a more homy touch - inhabited feel. Isn't that a contradiction to No. 3? Another question arises: Am I a "messy" deep inside...or am I just crazy and don't know what I want?!
5. I am a huge friend of whodunits and all kinds of mystery stories. The more tantalizing the better. The fun is the mystery and secrets - not knowing what comes next. I also like to come up with my own theories. Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple are two of my favorites.
6. For me one of the greatest enjoyments is the joyride in a roller coaster. I am so grateful for the fact that I have Magic Mountain quasi right around the corner. X-No Limits and Scream are two of the best rides...

I hope I met everybody's expectations one way or the other.
Well, I guess all that's left is to tag four more people ~ Gauri, Bjoern, Cornelia, Thomas.

Awesome Antje! Thanks for sharing! I am also very fond of sleeping although as an adult I can't sleep much past 8 or 9 a.m. and feel guilty if I even go that late.

No matter how late he goes to bed, my husband is usually up by 7 or so even if he doesn't need to be. He used to say it was in my head that I needed 8 hours of sleep, but I've read that our bodies all have different needs, so I don't think I'm going to give it up anytime soon.

I rarely get sick and sometimes I wish I'd get a cold or flu so I could justify laying in bed all day.

Thanks for sharing!
