Seriously, this took me forever!
Every time I thought I had something that described me, that I always did, something upon which I could rest my sense of self, then I could think of a time when that particular mannerism had been different.
But I believe these are a true and accurate depiction of 'me' fairly unchangeable, and a good indicator of whether or not my body has been snatched!

1. I clench my hands, especially when driving.
While driving I usually clench the emergency brake, and sometimes I brace my arm totally straight, so it's as if I am clenching my whole arm! If I am not driving, I take my index fingers, wrap them around, behind my thumbs, and then curl my fingers in and make a fist. A body at peace is a body that's been snatched…

2. Although I drink alcohol I never, ever, drink beer or red wine.

3. I always wear underwear to bed.
I simply can't sleep if I don't have a hug for my lady parts.

4. I use condiments on every food, all the time.
I would rather not eat than eat foods without condiments. However, I don't eat sour cream.

5. If I am wearing a long-sleeved shirt I have a funny elbow thing.
When I stand up, I pull the shirt down over my arms, when I sit down, I push it back up over my elbows. This can actually take up a lot of time if it's cold out, or I sit and stand a lot of times.

6. I brush my teeth A LOT.
Not only do I brush my own teeth a lot, I request other people to brush their teeth, and force people to go to the dentist. I brush and floss with friends regularly. I'm not saying I never go to sleep without brushing my teeth. It happens. But even then I've probably already brushed my teeth two or three times that day. In fact, I'm going to brush my teeth right now!

7. I am “up for it.”
This is key, as it is the number one quality I look for in a friend or lover.
Things I have been “up for” simply to give an example:
Burning Man,
Oliver, said as we are driving to move him to San Fran: “You should come to Burning Man some year.
Me: oh, you guys are going next week right?”
Oliver: Yup.
Me: I'll call Star5 and tell her I want to come too.

Bungy Jumping
Guy: We used to let you go for free if you were naked.
Me: Bring it on! Guy: Yeah, we were losing too much money
Fighting in Thunder Dome,
jumping on the back of a woman's motorcycle at a red light,
jumping in the pool at Graceland (and being requested to please leave…)
Wanna throw pumpkin guts at the ceiling fan and see what happens? O.K.
Wanna jump in the pool naked, and hopefully not get fired? O.K.
Wanna drive 2 hours to this farm in Wisconsin to get some organic pizza? O.K.
(Except put a lot of enthusiasm into the O.K.)
Basically, if it's fun, I want to do it. And, to borrow a philosophy from Celina Copperbottom: I'll try anything twice. So if you suggest trying something new, different, hard, scary, interesting, or fun, and I say “no” you can pretty much assume someone has snatched my body!

8. I never wear deodorant.
This is because I do not smell, rarely sweat, and my mom convinced me at a young age that deodorant is somehow bad for you. (I have this vague idea that your pores will clog and you'll get a weird underarm infection or something… I don't know, it's internalized!)
If you see me with those strange white stains on my clothes you can pretty much guess I've been body-snatched!

9. I grind my teeth.
No rest for the tense, even in sleep…

10. I wear a tutu whenever possible.
This is more a statement that I will always do a theme. In fact, I only go to parties that are theme parties. Even then, I really just like the theme aspect, and often leave the party quickly. On 2/22 (to tutu or…) our tutu theme party crashed a mods and punks theme party. Tutu's can rock mods or punks, no problem.
