I love them if they have 2 genuine people trying to win the love of the 1, and that each of the 2 has different things that attracts the 1, and that it's worked carefully into the story. They can be a lot of fun to read!!!<br /><br />2. I have a picky way of doing the dishes, and where they go in the dishwasher, which is annoying when someone puts something in the wrong place. I have them where they're supposed to be so it's easier to unload and put them away! And I can't think of another :)Louisa @ Words I Write Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483377328275563554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-17880058968266395912012-01-30T17:43:13.417-06:002012-01-30T17:43:13.417-06:001.

However, if it's a love triangle between love interests before anyone in it makes a commitment to one partner, I do generally like because it can create some good tension and conflict (unless the author doesn't handle the love triangle well, in which case it can just seem ridiculous).<br /><br />2. I like the toilet paper to pull in front as well so I would often change it to that way around the house. Another habit of mine would be always lining up remotes the same way on the arm of the couch.winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572247688497515974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-57981265776606791172012-01-30T16:10:01.234-06:002012-01-30T16:10:01.234-06:001.

The first love triangle I've heard about was from Twilight and it was nice... And suddenly I was flooded with similaries! Now I've enough of them!<br /><br />2. Name any two picky habits.<br />1) Helping my mum.

Who to choose?<br /><br />2. a) My brother never stirs his coffee after adding creamo. Drives me nuts!

I have a thing about staples. 4 staples in 5 sheets of paper drives me crazy. It's also something I see every day at work. I am compelled to take them all out and replace them with one single staple.<br /><br />2b. Garbage on the counter. My husband does this all the time, and it bothers me so much. Especially since he has to pass the garbage to get to the counter.

There are different types of love and some times it takes a little bit of time for the person to know the difference. For example, the love triangle in Twilight, Bella loved both Edward and Jacob but the love she felt for Jacob was more of a brotherly or friendship type of love. The love she felt for Edward was different. It was true love. They had a bond and connection that went beyond anything she felt for Jacob. She couldn't live without him.

I hate it when one character is led on and on and on.<br />b) I'm definitely OCD.

I personally don't believe in them, someone is always going to get hurt one way or another.<br />Two picky habits for me, one would be the opposite of yours concerning the toilet paper. I have to have it facing from the underside. lol And the other is I cannot go to bed, no matte how tired I am if there are any glasses or dishes in the sink. lol I'm really not compulsive or obsessive it's just that one quirk. :)<br />Carol L<br />Lucky4750 (at) aol (dot) comCarol L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05291123842810883524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-31797532182149213392012-01-29T08:20:29.710-06:002012-01-29T08:20:29.710-06:001.

I have read some YAs with love triangles, and most of the time, they really don't work too well.<br />2. a. My books are in a very specific order that only makes sense to me and, my family knows this, so they try to mess with me by rearranging them. b. When I get in the car, the seat has to all the way down, the seatbelt all the way up, and the visor must be pushed into its little holder thing.Rickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108470370944541128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-20113562927197467472012-01-29T06:28:21.314-06:002012-01-29T06:28:21.314-06:001.

When this is the case I just want to make her see sense & quickly. I think it's mean to string two guys along. Reading this back, I'm really not a big fan of love triangles am I?<br /><br />2. If you use the last of something how hard is it to write it down on the shopping list???? I can't get my family to do this & it drives me crazy.<br />Don't use my favourite coffee mug. What if you break it? What if I want to use it? What if...?? Basically, just because!!<br /><br />PLEASE HAVE THIS ONE AGAIN.

I agree with you on the love triangles - I'm not fond of those that include infidelity, yet the ones who simply create tension because the woman (and let's face it, it's usually the woman) can't quite make up her mind, I do like.<br /><br />2. Ha, I might not change loo rolls in public restrooms, but at home I want to pull it from the front as well. What is it with putting the roll up the other way round anyway?<br />As to my own picky habits - I always end up folding the towels, because obviously I'm the only person around who knows just HOW they are supposed to be folded (don't even ask). <br />Uhm, can't think of any other picky habit now, though I'm sure I've acquired a fare share over the years. Isn't it a blessing how forgetfulness sets in when you need it the most *wink*.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307461298661584480noreply@blogger.com
