I'VE BEEN TAGGED!

The lovely chubbs has given me yet another feat of strength. This time i am to list some of my quirks, so the blogging community @ large can laugh and point and judge. At least, that's what i do. :) I thought that this would be easy, being that i am the embodiment of quirk, but it was actually pretty difficult coming up with these. I guess i'm so used to my eccentricities that i'd forgotten what they were! Anyway, after some serious introspection, i was finally able to pin down a few, and whats more, i came to the conclusion that i really am weird. lol. Thanks chubbs! :)


Here are the rules:

1. Link back to the person who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking to them
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged bloggers blogs letting them know they've been tagged
6. You can now display this charming dalek image i created when tagged!

And without further ado:


1. I read magazines from back to front. I have no idea when i started doing this, and i doubt i would even have noticed it until a classmate ('nissa 10th grade section 304) asked me "why you always read your magazines backwards". (i would sneak and read ym or seventeen in homeroom every morning.) Without getting into why she was studying me so hard, i'll admit her question made me think. "why am i reading it this way?" I had no answer for her then, and i have no answer for you now. Its just something that i do. Shutty.

2. I like water with my cake, pie, or cookies. You know how some people live by the milk and _____ (insert snack of your choice here) rule? Well i don't. Milk is gross. Save for things that its cooked in, i can't see the purpose for it. Especially as a drink. With all the good tasting things in the world? Why would anyone choose to drink milk? *gag* I refuse to sully a perfectly good cookie (or slice of pie, or piece of cake) with the opaque substance. Give me water to wash down the sweet. Call me weird if you want, but just call me.

3. I wipe off my feet before i go to bed. Always.

4. I pat my head when it itches. Sometimes. A holdover from my relaxer days when i couldn't scratch before my touch ups or else my scalp would burn like atlanta after sherman got through with it. I'd have to go through that first post-touch up week with scabs galore on my scalp. Combing my hair and combing up scabs. *shudders* Well the perm is long gone but i still give light thwacks on my dome on occasion. Its unwitting, and i don't realize i'm doing it until a concerned citizen approaches me and is like "lady! why are you slapping your head??" :(

5. I'm obsessive about eyebrows. The shape, the thickness, the everything. I love a pretty brow (on a woman, men i'm more forgiving) and i get quite dismayed when i see a woman do janky things to her eyebrows. FYI the rainbow shaped eyebrow is never flattering. EVER.

6. My lips and hands must be moisturized. Like chubbs, i cannot be without a lip balm. In the fifth grade I had a classmate with tyrone biggums lips. (Terrence S i see you!) Scarred me for life. He'd stay licking his lips and the ash would go away, but come back five minutes later even more virulent. And he liked me, so he'd always be up in my face with them grey lips. He had the perpetual "i just ate a powdered doughnut" mouthpiece. It was repulsive, and i swore to myself that this would never be my fate. Not to mention that my lips are as big as crap so its important that i stay on top of my situation. My weapon of choice is carmex. I don't like applying gloss or lipstick without it as a base. As far as my hands are concerned, i always keep a mini jar of vaseline in my purse. I hate washing my hands and not having something moisturizing immediately available, lest a grey-ish cast set in between my fingers. If i happen to be out of vaseline, i always carry a tube of lotion for such an emergency. And yes, it is an emergency.
