[Deirdre]

1. My evening/bedtime/lounging-around-the-house clothes have to match. This means, for instance, that during the colder months my nighties, knee-high socks, and cardigans all have to match.
   
   
2. I have a fairly extensive collection of pig-items, including nick-knacks, statues, curtains, trivets, serving platters, cutting-boards, and even a stuffed pig I sleep with at night (and you'd be correct in the assumption that I do not eat pork. Ever.).
   
   
3. I think that astrology is a crock, but politely smile and nod when friends discuss horoscopes and signs.
   
   
4. I believe that linear time might very possibly be a human construct (an illusion), and that 'all' time could actually exist 'now', that is to say that past and future coexist at once.
   
   
5. I prefer the cold, rain, and snow to warmth and sunlight. Part of this is due to SSAD (Summer Seasonal Affective Disorder, the opposite of Winter SAD), a condition in which sunlight triggers depression and sluggishness.
