Ears Etc.

I have a bit of an ear/neck fetish. Ears are very sensitive, no? (That why we poke holes in them, I suppose.) A man who is a good ear kisser is permanently on the "I'll Always Remember You" list. (I love putting people on lists; it makes my life a lot more organized!) That particular list is short, but it's a good one.

I prefer sleeping with my ears covered; grandma came to check on me one night and saw me on my side with the blankets covering my ear. She got such a kick out of that because she needs to have her ears covered when she sleeps, too. She bought me a silk pillowcase so I could sleep with silk over my ears, what a grandma! I'll often wake up in the morning with my arms and hands curled up around my head, the backs of my hands covering my ears. I have a hard time sleeping with other people in my bed because I want the blankets over my ears. I don't know why, but it's comforting to have my ears covered. Hey, at least it's not my nose!

I'd never heard of the Enneagram before R. showed us a book about it. Just for fun, we took the test online. I came out a 4. Personality tests are interesting to me only as they relate to other personalities. That is, I care less what I'm like and more how my interactions are affected by different personality combinations. (Using the Enneagram categories, I repeatedly have relationships with types like 7's and 9's. There must be something familiar or comfortable about them. Types like 8 make me flee.) It was interesting to me to read these descriptions because I did see a lot of familiarity in how they described my interactions. We sometimes had a lot of free time on our hands in China, obviously!
