So I got tagged by
Kerry and
Sherry (no relation, far as I know) for two different memes. One is list five quirky things about yourself. The other is list five random facts about yourself that most people don't know. So I have decided to combine them both into one meme.
So here are Five Quirky Things About Bone (That Most People Don't Know):
1. I sing, hum, tap, almost non-stop. (I'm sure some would disagree with the "almost" part of that statement.) Very random songs, too. Carol of the Bells, Gold Digger, Piano Man. It matters not the genre. Ask anyone who knows me in real life. They all
love it!
2. I don't like mustard and cheese on the same sandwich. I like mustard. And I
love cheese! But if I have a cheeseburger, I prefer no mustard. Mayo is fine, but no mustard. I feel that the mustard somehow takes away from the flavor of the cheese. I think I could probably prove this scientifically, but really, who has the time?
3. I organize my Christmas presents
very neatly under the tree. I think it really bugged a couple of girls I dated. Well, they said it did anyway. One of my ex-girlfriends says that this is part of my OCD. But my presents must be stacked very orderly. It's really a sight to see. Sort of like the crop circles or Stonehenge or something. Or at least like one of those really cool million domino displays on
That's Incredible. Maybe I'll take a picture of them this year. I was raised in a house of neatly stacked presents, and I've turned out OK. Except for the fact that if I turn on a light switch with my left hand, I then also have to touch the light switch with my right hand. Or something very bad will happen.
4. I don't
like to use the bathroom if anyone else is in the house, or if I'm at work, or at someone else's house. And I appreciate if you afford me the same consideration. And I'm not talking about urinating. Obviously, I have
no problems doing that. No, I'm talking about a certain impending intestinal requirement. I actually dated a girl one time, and I'd make her go to the store so that I could meet said requirement. I also like to take my pants off during this activity, or at least one pant leg, so that I feel unencumbered. Is that weird?
And, if you're still reading after that...
5. My bedroom door and closet door have to be closed before I can go to sleep at night. Every night. And not just pushed to, but completely fastened/latched/closed. If I get in bed and see that one of them is open, I get up and shut it. Then again, perhaps this is part of OCD?
*Note: I was going to include how it's virtually impossible for me to hear someone misquote a
Seinfeld episode and not correct them. Or if someone says Jerry did something, but it was really George, I just can't let it go. But I figured most of you already assumed that.
I'm not going to tag anyone. But if you'd like to pretend that Bone tagged you, feel free.
"Yo, I'm the big booty type. I like 'em thick with they mind right..."
As for the rest, my first statement stands.
You are the male me.
Or I am the female you, since you are older.
I thought I was the only freak about the bathroom thing.
And the music thing - NON STOP.
And . . EVERYTHING
Scary larry.
Oh wait, except the hamburger thing. I adore cheese, but I HATE mustard OR mayonnaise and won't eat ketchup with cheese . . but without cheese, bring on the ketchup.
How you feel about correcting people on Seinfeld, is how I feel when someone says's 'I'm going down to Canada this weekend'. UP to Canada. UP. :)
Coyote: Reading your bathroom habits just made me realize mine may have been TMI.
Meghan: Yeah, no ketchup with cheese, either. I must agree with that.
Now I'm reminded of the Seinfeld where Jerry dates Janeane Garofalo's character. They're just alike. He tells Kramer, "Now I know what I've been looking for all these years...myself! I've been waiting for me to come along. And now I've swept myself off my feet!"
Then tires of her, telling Kramer, "All of a sudden it hit me, I realized what the problem is. I can't be with someone like me. I hate myself!"
Mappy: I was just correcting someone on the up/down thing the other day. You should do a quirky post. I forgot to tag anyone. Have you done a daily quiz yet today? I'm off to check...
I'm not hard I've got women to handle that
They be like he the man when I'm really a Thundercat"
Need I go on...?
"can't stop now got to continue my running"
Now that song will be in my head for the rest of the day and when I get home I'll need to listen to the entire CD for hours.
OH, and I HATE going to the bathroom when someone else is home. I find it much easier when I'm alone.
It makes me happy when I can get a song stuck in someone else's head. Another quirk.
Carney: I think the singing and tapping are mostly nerves. There are probably a hundred more little OCD things. I suppose they do take up a little time. But I guess that's why it's called a disorder.
Sallwood: I have to be careful at work. There have been a couple of times when I've walked in the bathroom and left the door open for a second, before realizing I wasn't at home and going back and closing it.
Lass: We are strange creatures, Lass. I also can't be chewing gum when I'm taking care of business. Another quirk. Wow, I could barely come up with five, and now there's a seemingly endless supply.
So not only have you 'ruined' Christmas, but now I have Nelly in my head.
I may or may not be back...we'll see how I feel about you tomorrow.
I like the taste of cheese and mustard together. Not often, but every once in a great while I like a cheese and mustard sandwich. In my opinion (which, I know, is in direct opposition to your opinion) the mustard and cheese compliment each other.
If I closed all the doors in the house the kitties wouldn't like it very much. The only room that is so far off limits is my bedroom, but even going to the bathroom, I have company.
You know we share a few of the same ocd tendencies - and a closed closet door is one of them. ;-)
And thanks to you and Heather . .. I have been singing that damn song all day.
Anonymous: I used to date a girl (why do all my stories start with that phrase?) and everytime I came out of the bathroom, one of her cats would be standing right outside the door.
J-Mo: Thanks. I try.
Meghan: Umm, nothing. Just you said you were the female me, so it reminded me of Seinfeld. Pretty much everything reminds me of Seinfeld.
I never imply anything. It leads to implications.
"Where ya from? Turn around. Who you came with?"
Santa brought you one of the items off of my list already.
Merry Christmas!
Tenacious: Wow, that's old school. She's still taking suggestions, I think.
