5 things you never wanted to know about me.

[Hollylane]

Pretty self explanatory.

only 2 rules:

1. Be kind to each other
2. They have to be about your quirks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll get it started:

1. I am fascinated by the word "Armadillo"
2. My favorite late night snack that I am not allowed have, is tortilla with Miracle whip, Kraft cheese slice, and Pringles.
3. Sometimes I have a collection of socks underneath the covers. I kick them off when my feet get too warm.
4. I have a very particular order in the shower, if I miss a step, I have to start over.
5. When I am having a cocktail I have to stop myself from licking the rim of my glass...It is not always a margarita.



Ready....Set....GO!

Cute thread...

[chai~]

oh gawd...cute thread!!!!

ok, here we go!!!!

1. I can't touch the drain in the tub with my bare feet....*cringe*

2. I do NOT make a good passenger in a vehicle. I MUST drive. Always!!NEVER ever a passenger!!!!

3. I have bouts of OCD that work to my advantage.

4. I will only drink Pepsi, never Coke. No compromise!!

5. I dislike wearing socks....make me feel claustrophobic.

I'm sure I've got more, but I will abstain for now!

[SoNotHer]

1) If you rattle around for food in a potato chip bag long enough, I'll leave, ask you to leave, or give you the death stare.

2) I like to smack the bottoms of new drinks until the seal of the cap pops.

3) I like to pop gum in rooms loudly enough to make people turn in disgust.

4) I will literally lick a plate clean if I like the food.

5) I like duct tape. A lot.

[Hollylane]

1. If you sneeze more than three times in a row, on a daily basis, I might be annoyed. I can't help it.
2. I cannot tolerate passive aggressive behavior/comments AT ALL.
3. Each of my pets has their own song, I intentionally sing them off-key.
4. I spend a lot of time laughing at my own inner monologue.
5. I chew ice all day long. Luckily, I have strong teeth.

[Stitch]

1. I am rather terrified of adhesives. I don't like tape being on me, and I can just handle band aids.

2. I listen to the same song over and over and over again.

3. I wear a silly toque

4. I am a sci/fi geek

5. I hate it when people leave the lights on and they are not in the room. I sometimes leave the living room light on when I go out just so people don't trip when coming inside.

[Tawse]

1. I have an issue with fingernail clipping and the clippings. They should all be contained to the bathroom. Don't clip in the office and don't leave your clippings around the house. Eww.

2. My mom and I are frenemies. Sometimes it's humorous and sometimes not so much.

3. I hate it when parents forget that they have an identity outside of being parents.

4. I go commando most of the time

5. I used to keep black widows in jars in my room.

[KimbaYLRF]

I do not like people who chew with their mouth open. To me it is one of the most disturbing things. It causes me great anxiety.

If I am talking to someone on the phone, I expect them to respect me and not talk with a mouthful of food, while eating like a pig.

I listen to Andrea Bocelli when I am anxious.

I sucked my thumb until I was 11 and only stopped because my dad threatened to send me to school with a diaper and bottle and a note for the teacher.

I do not like snakes or worms.

[smouldering]

I am a researcher- If i don't understand something or people ask me a question, they think i am a know it all because usually I can answer it.. but really, I just know how to look things up quickly i used to work for ChaCha after all.

I will break out in song randomly at any moment if i hear a word or a sentence that reminds me of lyrics to a song.


I have a really odd quirky sense of humor some people just don't understand.


I have a very good memory, if you lie to me or change your story, i will remember.

[JustJo]

How fun! Okay....

I speak "for" all of our animals...each in slightly different voices. If you'd like to have a conversation with any of them, I'll be happy to assist.

I love toasting marshmallows in the fireplace, but really only want to eat one. I then try to feed them to whoever else happens to be in the room.

I think and function in circles....I may start to do one task, get distracted, and complete 6 or 7 others before I finish the original task. I do the same with sentences sometimes...

I snore...loudly when I'm more overweight or more tired...less when I'm rested and have lost some weight. Once, when I was at my heaviest and stressed out of my mind, I woke the upstairs neighbor.

I repeat myself. I think it comes from doing too many presentations in work environments...the old "tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you told them." It's annoying, even to me. Sometimes I can even hear myself doing it and and I just.can't.stop!

Mine should read "only drink Coke and will not ever drink Pepsi." If that is all the place serves, I will change my order to tea or Dr. Pepper.

Hmm, for now, I can steal these four from the previous posts and to make it to 5, I will add this one...

My friends joke that I am a "grammar Nazi." But I am not---I swear.

Ok, maybe just a little.

Sooo glad I'm not the only one! LOL! At least I know I'm not crazy - just Quirky like the rest of you, lol!

Some of mine....

When wearing socks in the Winter, I feel sensory deprived – I love to walk barefoot whenever possible.

I hate wearing tight clothing, it makes me feel claustrophobic.

If I dislike someone or feel uncomfortable around them, I don’t like to touch or be touched by them and my body language changes to reflect this.

I have an aversion to seeing milk on cereals – when I do it’s hard for me not to Ralph!

I can’t stand it noisy eaters and those who speak with their mouths full! ……..Argh! Where are your manners?!

[Soft*Silver]

I am very judgemental about people's yards and porches. I have MY opinion about what is tasteful and have been known to spout off to the point about gawdy items that my friends and family have nicknamed me the yard police...

I have plastic see thru mats on my carpeting...and on my living room couch and chairs. The ones on my couch and chairs are upside down so the prickly side is up. Its to keep the cats from climbing on them. To sit, you just have to move them....

I have a saddle in my dining room

I have to be given valium when I go to the dentist...even if its just for a teeth cleaning. That just started since I had shingles...

I had shingles ALL over my face...I felt like a monster...

[PinkieLee]

Well, let's see here....

I grind my teeth all. the. time.

I become easily lost in thought while driving. I will drive with my left arm and constantly rub it with my right... just like my mother.

Like Hollylane my morning rituals are borderline OCD. From what I do the minute I wake up, to when I walk out the door for work. My honey never needs an alarm clock, because when she hears me blowdry my hair, she knows it's 7:00am on the dot.

I play out different scenerios with people in my mind... and many times I've worked myself up to a point that I become physically upset over hypothetical arguements in my head.

Before going to bed, I will set & reset my alarm clock at least 3 times... just in case. Yeah, I do a lot of things in threes.

[foxyshaman]

I want to slap the back of people's heads when they walk and don't pick up their feet. OMG how hard is it to pick up your feet.... (not a button for me, nope not at all)

If you dump work on my desk, and don't have the courtesy to tell me, chances are, your work will get 'lost'.

When house cleaning, my kitchen has to be cleaned first. I cannot think with a dirty kitchen. (I don't even want to analyze that one)

Don't tell me you can't play a drum. It is a stick and a hide, not rocket science.

You can cancel your first appointment with me twice, after that, I don't take your calls.

[chai~]

1. I won't chew gum or suck on hard candy because of all the extra spit it creates......GAG!!!!!!!!

2. I'm a cleptomaniac. Well sort of. I like pens, I mean REALLY like pens. But, they have to have a certain "feel" to them. A certain weight, and the ink must be a certain color and have a certain flow. If I go to the bank, or any place that requires me to pick up a pen and sign something, and I like the pen, I will not put the pen back down. I will hold it, in front of the person who I am signing in front of, and play with my wallet or keys or whatever. When they are done with me, I will get up to leave, wave at them with the pen still in my hand, and if they don't ask for it back, I just figure it's a parting gift!!!! I will also make a big gesture and tuck the pen in my messy bun hair do, giving then another chance to speak up about the pen, and again, if they don't, well then, the pen is MINE!!!! I have given them 2 chances!
Therefore, I am an appreciator of free pens!!!!!

3. I can't make GOOD coffee for the life of me. I don't know if it's the machine, the water, the water temperature, to coffee, the grind, the altitude or where the moon is in it's cycle.....it's not happening!!! So, I drive through Tim Horton's. One perfect cup, handed to me through a drive through window! One happy femme!

4. I wash my hands a zillion times a day!

5. I love the pleasure and pain feeling of getting my legs waxed!!!

[nycfem]

1. I like to go on websites that don't pertain to me. One that I particularly enjoy is a community for people who feel that they were meant to be amputees, like that they should have been born with one leg instead of two, for instance.

2. I've always disliked having such a common name: Jennifer / Jenny. As a child I had a sobbing, screaming breakdown about it, yelling at my parents about what a bad choice it was for me. Once in a dating relationship in which the other person was not from my social circle, I told her my name was "JennyKate" (combining my first and middle name). Then as she got to know more people, I had to tell my friends and family that I had to be referred to as "JennyKate" when she was around. I had felt very cool with that name, but it quickly became a big joke amongst those who knew me, and I dropped it, along with the relationship -for other reasons.

3. Another quirky name story: I was in the Anarchist Bookstore in San Francisco sitting on the floor reading a magazine about home schooling. My younger brother Dave was wandering the store. The store only had a few people in it. The Anarchist, a white man with a beard and glasses, who was working the front desk said to me, "Ma'am, you are not allowed to sit on the floor while you read." Suddenly I felt a surge of adrenaline, of anger, and I said, "Go ahead and call the police." He said, "Really?" Like, did you really just say that. "Really," I said, and went back to reading. He sighed, not knowing how to proceed, his own adrenaline rising, and mumbled, "God, I wish the collective was here!" Then he came up with a plan. Politely he asked everyone else to leave the store. He allowed my standing, well-mannered brother to stay. Then he put a sign on the door letting folks know that it was closed for a bit. He went over to me and said, kind of like a patronizing counselor, "Let's talk to each other about this. I'm Steve. What's your name?" I felt more anger rise in me, and I said, without having thought it out, just instinctively, "My name is Fuck." He said, maybe a little nervous but going with the flow, "Okay, Fuck. I want to talk to you about how it is disrespectful for you not to follow the rules in the store." We entered into an expected debate with me saying that "For Fuck's sake, it's an Anarchist bookstore!" blah blah. As it became more heated, my poor brother began to have an asthma attack and as he pulled out his inhaler, I knew it was REALLY time to go.

4. For OCD reasons, I don't like to touch doorknobs. Luckily I'm a femme and have an easier time avoiding it.

5. For OCD reasons, sometimes I'll walk up to BB at home with a clean sticky roller and start rolling it on hym, on his shirt or pants. Hy'll pull away, kind of smiling but annoyed, and say, "Stopppp!"

[JAGG]

It's not possible for me to respect someone who is lazy.
I could never be with a smoker.
Its hard for me to sugarcoat things, it feels deceitful.
I have a very sharp 6th sense, so even if I don't call you on it , I know when your lying.
I'm surrounded by 1006 angels.

[bbdoll]

Hmmm lets see......I dont like sticky stuff, creamy is ok. what else oh oh I dont like seeing those guys wearing their pants all the way down to their asses. I dont get what's behind that fashion statement. I automatically cringed when someone is boasting in front of me. I'll be back with the other 2. *my sleepy head is awake, gotta make hys freaking coffee.
