Six Things That Make Me Wierd
Hemlock has tagged me with a meme about the ways in which I'm wierd, (presumably because it's obvious I'm a little off, or maybe just because she's sick of me not posting something...).
The rules are as follows:
Each player of this game lists "6 Weird Things About Yourself". People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their comments and tell them to read your blog for details.
I hate to be a spoil sport, but I just don't tag. I kinda like being tagged, but I'm far too insecure to actually do the tagging. So if you're just a little exhibitionist and wanna show us what you got in the wierd arena, feel free to swipe this little game and be sure to let me know you've played along!
So then, for Hemmie:
6. Every year I look forward to November for one reason -- Silk Nog in my coffee. I buy the stuff by the case until January, when they take it away again.
5. Toilet paper must dispense over the top, NOT under the roll. Seriously. I will take it off the little holder guy and turn it around if it's wrong, even at your house.
4. I am frightened of downtown Seattle at night. I didn't realize that about myself until last night, but apparently it is true. Just call me 'fraidy cat.
3. Cleaning the bathroom holds far more charm for me than dusting. My loathing for the task of dusting knows no measures or bounds.
2. Acrylic fingernails suffocate me. I cannot wear them.
1. I think most spiders are kinda cute, and I get a little sad when I have to kill them.
Well folks, there you have it. Please tell me we can still be friends.

i'm the same way about the toilet paper. then again, i'm a complete basketcase so that may not be any consolation.
TP over the top of the roll. It IS a rule after all! Oh, and I can't stand to wear false nails either.
Hee hee, I have no idea what Silk Nog is (!) and it sounds very frightening but I'm with you on both the toilet paper and the dusting!
My college roommate and I used to have toilet paper roll wars. Every single time either of us went to the potty, it got switched back to our preferred position. You have confirmed that I was right and don't think I'm not going to tell her that.
(Perhaps I should add the need to rub my little toilet paper victory in the face of my old roommate to my list of things that make me a weirdo).
:-)
6. ? huh-silk nog?-what's that?
5. I'm sooooo with you on this one. I get mad at the BF for putting it on wrong.
great list, eclectic...now im off to google silk nog :)
Hey, I stol'd your memie thingie.
That was fun! :o)
Oh, and btw guys, Silk Nog is soy egg nog. Good stuff.
Silk is the brand of the good soy milk, then every season they make eggnoggity goodness which is silknog. As long as it's got rum, I'm for it. ;o)
Ooooh, I use Silk on my cereal. I'll HAVE to try it.
TP has to go over the top, no doubt. Drives me nuts when it's not, but I don't change it at anybody else's place.
What came up that you've just realized you're afraid of Seattle at night? I'm so happy I live where I do now. I went out tonight after dark to buy some wine, on foot. Not skirred at all.
Definitely would rather clean the bathroom than dust. No doubt.
I won't wear fake fingernails. I don't even paint my nails.
You know my story about putting spiders out of the apartment without killing them. :)
I guess this all proves that we're sisters. Including the being weird part. ;)
I'll give you number 6, but the other things? They're completely normal in my book. Now some people may question how I might be allowed to judge normal, but we won't go there.
I'll come and dust for you if you'll clean the bathrooms at my house. Also? I have been known to put spiders outside rather than kill them.
Gah! Ya freak!
Heh... kidding! I was with you until you mentioned you like to clean the bathroom and you think spiders are cute.
Love you, Eclectic! :)
Hey E? Can you come over to my house? The kids' bathroom is just... ugh! They leave little toothpaste blobs. Ew!
Spiders ARE kinda cute.
I've got way more than six things, but I can do a short list.
See, now, my kids have learned NEVER to expose a button like the toilet paper thing. Because it is not inconceivable that one day we could be in the same time zone. And you will be so distressed to find EVERY toilet paper roll you encounter being dispensed UNDER the roll. You will finally realize it is not a coincidence, and you will want to hit me and hurt me.
And I will laugh.
I can totally relate to the fingernail thing. I once mangled my finger in a car door, three days before doing a commercial shoot where they would be filming close ups of my hands. I went and had the fingernail replaced with acrylic and I had to take it off in two days becaus it was so...suffocating. Needless to say I did not get to be in the commercial.
I'm totally the same with toilet paper. I think I have probably changed a roll or two at another person's house as well!!
And as for bathroom cleaning > dusting? Totally!!! I think when I'm an adult I'll hire someone to do the dusting once per month, simply because I do it maybe once per year. Yeah, I'm lazy like that.
GREAT answers. Glad you played, even if you didn't tag!!
OMG! I do the SAME freaking thing with the toilet paper! ROFL! And the dusting? My children or my husband do it because I WILL NOT.
You ROCK...even if you are a bid odd! hehehe...Love you!
Kat: Right. I'll see your basketcasitude, and raise it by one neuroticism. After all, I have children...
Curtis: My bruthah!
Platy: See Mo/Dis's comment -- she clears it up!
Lushy: You were SO right. And the statute of limitations never expires on being right, so I say rub it in every chance you get.
Dawn: See Mo/Dis's second comment. The nog is yummy.
Mo/Dis: Thanks for clearing that up for 'em. I'll have to pop over and check out your wierdness!!
Squirl: See, you're a much nicer guest than I, because I just can't stand it. We went to the Monday night football game in Seattle against Green Bay as a birthday gift to our 10-year-old football fanatic. Mr. E wanted to drop me off in an area with viaducts and no sidewalks, no street lighting and no clear sense of where we needed to be, because he was frustrated by the non-moving traffic and wanted me to at least pick up the will-call tickets while he struggled for parking. I refused because it skirred me.
Peefer: Sheesh, here I thought you were just gonna lecture me, but now I've been cold-blooded murdered? Sometimes, they just have to die. Like when they're too jumpy to take outside, but they can't stay in the kids' underwear drawer.
Shawkey: DEAL!! Now, all you have to do is move close-by so we can get this trade going.
CK: NO, no..... I didn't say I like to clean the bathroom, just that it's better than dusting. And spiders ARE cute. Ever looked at one in their tiny little face? What's wrong with you?! ;)
Lynn: Just went to check out your list. Hee! Thanks for playing, too.
Nilbo: Yeah? Let's see you laugh when I hit you in the head with a Mega Roll... ;)
JDR: Thank you! I just don't get the under people.
Bill: Don't really know whether to laugh at you, or worry about you. So I'll do both. ;)
Hemmie: Dusting Loathers, UNITE!
Traci: So, I may be wierd, but at least I'm in good company?! Hugs!
That's it? Please tell me you're holding out on us with the weird. Do you at least write your name on the t.p. before you put it on the roll, over the top?
I love you dearly even though you're freakishly normal. Or ARE you....
Susie: HI! Now, I never said it was an exhaustive list...! And actually, I prefer to remain anonymous when I go around switching the TP direction at others' houses, so I never write my name on the roll. Who does THAT?! ;)
Susie cracks me up!
Aw, I love your weird things!
Silk Nog? MUST investigate further.
I hate acrylic nails. They look too chunky!
If that is as wierd as you get, then I'm not posting mine. Of course tp goes over the top, but I can't say I ever changed it from under to over any place but at home. :)
Silk Nog is not weird. One day it will conquer the known lactic universe!
