The Seven Irritating Habits of an Irritating Person

September is one of my favourite months. Everyone I know makes their resolutions in January to coincide with the start of a new year. Me, I turn over my leaves after Labor Day. I have to try to make them "new" leaves, otherwise I keep turning over the same leaf, and repeat the same mistakes over and over. But for the most part I tend to feel rejuvenated come fall.

Norton's been living with me now for a couple of months, and despite my initial worries, he actually turning out to be a pretty decent kid. He does the lawn without having to be told, and I haven't gotten any calls from his mom in weeks. Outside the first week Norton moved in when he cut into the lawn "If you can't read this, YOU'RE STANDING TOO CLOSE!"

I've had to adjust to his little foibles, and he has a lot.

1. He hums when he's eating something he enjoys.
2. He likes Bruce Campbell (how is this a bad thing? He likes Alien Apocalypse - a lot)
3. He likes ABBA. More than is natural. (He sings like Pierce Brosnan with a cold)
4. He irons his socks.
5. He likes to clean up my workshop.
6. He's always leaving the seat down on the toilet.
7. His hero is Joseph Pujol. He's practicing to be like his hero. He does a lot of laundry.

Was there any point to this? Not really, but it was more fun than doing what I supposed to be doing. Starting Monday, I really am going to try and keep up with stuff. One of the first things will be to go see Vernon, something I've been putting off for the last month and a bit.
