Me? Quirks?
Ilyka has quirks. Really! I know, me too. Anyway, I've been pondering my quirks, and am finally getting around to putting it in a post.
1) I like my food/drinks to be either really hot or really cold. Don't give me anything lukewarm! If we say, get pizza delivered, or have McDonald's or something, into the microwave it goes to be hot enough. I love poached eggs, but the yolks have to be hot through. It's disgusting to eat them when the yolk is body temperature. Yuck!! Again, the microwave is my friend. Just enough to be hot, not enough to harden the yolk.
2) I don't like using the phone. I will email, write, whatever, rather than use the phone. Being a hotel reservationist was hell.
3) I turn the volume down when people call into QVC or similar. Also turn down the volume when listening to talk radio and there's yelling and screaming. And debates make me cringe. I have to force myself to watch them come election season.
4) I hate bright light. I leave a bulb burned out in my bathroom, and I've removed the florescent tubes from the fixture above my desk at work. And woe to anyone who walks into a room and just switches on all the lights with no warning!
5) I'm not good at vacationing with a group. People just annoy me too much. I need my space! Now I just say "no", but it took many miserable, frustrating trips to get me there. There is a select group of people I will deign to travel with. They know who they are.

Why not just not watch the debates at all?
On the very small chance that they actually contain something interesting, you'll certainly hear about it on the blogs.
I'm not sure I've ever watched a presidential debate. Nor do I have any desire to start.
