Idiosyncrasies
Ever since I was really quite small and I watched an episode of a badly made sci-fi series I have had a weird little habit I cannot break. In the programme a character got a little bug from another planet crawl in his ear. It then turned out to be an evil alien bug that lived off human brains and it proceeded to eat the contents of the poor character's skull. Since watching this stupid bit of tv I have not been able to go to sleep without a handful of my hair covering my ears.....just to make it harder for the little nasty alien bugs that live around to get in my ear and eat my mind... This I know is ridiculous and I periodically try to break the habit. Recently it has been really hot at night and I have found it hard to sleep. A couple of times I have tied my hair back to stop myself feeling so sticky - only to find myself unable to sleep because my ears are exposed. Will I ever feel comfortable sleeping lobes bared?

nice thoughts.... (except about the scary toe murderer). sleep is a big issue in our house at the moment generally as the baby bird is not very good at it (she tries to practice her walking in her sleep and crashes into the side of the cot then wakes up crying) and so I am up quite a lot getting her back to sleep. It is a passing phase so I'm not bothered about it - just tired(!). I don't really worry much about the ears thing but I do find it funny that such a harmless thing has left an enduring concern in my subconscious that has turned into a quirky habit.....
I have the same kind of things regarding zombies, even though they do not exist, and I wish they would stop making movies about the dead coming back and eating us alive.
