My Mom Says I’m Quirky!

Posted on July 28th, 2008 by admin

Kidding. My Mom doesn’t say that I’m quirky. She say’s that I’m strange. I say that I’m quirky. Although I think quirky might be an understatement. One of my bloggin’ buddies tagged me. And for all you non-bloggers, tagging means that the other blogger was sent a request from another blogger to do something like a special blog post. Who knows where the original thing started, but the rule is that you have to do the task at hand and the tag a certain number of people and have them do the same thing. Whew…I have a migraine now. And I’m not sure if that even makes sense, but whatever. Moving on…

The task at hand is to tell my millions of fans Six Quirks about Myself. And for those of you who know me, you’re probably thinking, “Six?! That weirdo could go on for days!” Well, you’re probably right. Jerks. I actually got ‘tagged’ a long time ago-but was saving it for a day when I needed a cop-out for an easy blog post. I like to pretend that I have more important things to do.

So here we go…

1. I am really annoyed by people who mispronounce common words. I especially get annoyed when it’s the ‘W turned L’ mispronunciation. For example, “Suzie loves to color and drawl.” Or, “How long is it going to take to sawl that log?” I’m watching Design Star on HGTVand the blonde chick just did that. I’m not voting for her now. Another related mispronunciation is the ’I turned E.’ Aka: ”I want some melk.” And last but not least there’s the ’O turned U.’ A common example for that one is, “Hey, Look at that wuf!” Ok, so that’s not exactly common. I mean, how often do you need to point out that you see a wolf. You get the point. Skinny people also annoy me. Especially when I see them eating or exercising.

2. I have a gap in between two teeth on the right side of my mouth and it really annoys me. Long story long, I did have braces at one time to correct my unruly teeth. The baby canine wasn’t coming out and the adult canine started growing out the side, above the baby canine. So the dentist pulled the baby canine and put braces on to bring the adult canine down into place. And due to my stupidity of not wearing my retainer as I was instructed, I have a gap in between the adult canine and the tooth next to it. Not anything too grotesque, but it bugs me so much. And it messes up my smile, like my lip on the top right is higher than on the left side. Silly and stupid, I know. I would like to get it fixed before my next major life event like a wedding or possibly a funeral. It’s in the back of my mind when I’m getting my picture taken. Anyone out there a dentist looking to do a little charity work? No….?

3. I don’t like talking on the phone. I’ve never been one of those girls who is on the phone with her friends for hours upon hours. Although part of the reason could be my lack of friends. But that’s another issue altogether. Although I do have a memory of playing Eye Spy over the phone with my bff when I was in like 3rd grade. And I don’t really want to get brain cancer from being on my cell phone too much.

4. If I had to choose between donating a bunch of money to homeless children or homeless animals I would choose the animals. Hate me if you want to, but it’s the truth. T once told me that if I was driving and was going to either run over a kid or an animal, that I would swerve to avoid the animal and squash the kid. No comment.

5. I worship Suze Orman. I absolutely love her show and the fact that she makes me want to learn more about how to manage my money. Not that I have money, but I hope to someday. I watch her show and have read a couple of her books. My favorite book of hers is, Young, Fabulous & Broke. It’s a great book for those of you who are college grads or just starting out in life. Or just those of you who want some easy to understand tips about managing your money. I was on a Suze kick for a while and was preaching to anyone and everyone who would listen. I’m sure it got annoying, but I like to share my knowledge. I love personal finance and I bet I will love it even more when I have money. You rule Suze. I suppose another thing that I could slip in here is the face that I love Non-Fiction books. I’d much rather read a book on investing than a book about some love story.

6. I have a hard time making new friends. I think of myself as a rather easy going, fun type of person. But I guess I’m too picky when it comes to friends. And for whatever reason, I feel more comfortable hanging out with guys as opposed to girls. Now, if only my boyfriend believed me when I say that I can be friends with a guy without showing him my boobs or making out or whatever. But for now I’ll settle with my dog. He’s such a good listener. If only he’d let me paint his nails and do his hair.

Due to my lack of friends, I’m not going to tag 5 other people. If you’re reading my blog and feel inclined to post about how strange you are then go right ahead. And maybe reading my blog will help you realize that you may be more normal that you thought!
