Tag: Personal Quirks


photo: USA today

Juliam of Over the Undies and Stephanie of My 20 Something Cents both tagged us. Thanks ladies! Here's what it's all about:

The rules:

* link to the person that tagged you
* post the rules on your blog
* share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself
* tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs
* let each random person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog


Six quirks you're going to wish you never knew.

Cath:
1. If I spend more than a couple of minutes in a room I start redecorating it in my head.
2. I'm constantly pressing down the cuticles of my nails - I feel like it helps them grow. I don't even like having long finger nails.
3. I can't go to sleep without reading a few pages of a book/magazine first.
4. I'm always pointing my feet - left over from my ballet days I suppose.
5. I don't recycle any fashion magazines until I've gone through them one last time and ripped out the pages that I think are inspiring.
6. I start to get panicky on long road trips if I can't find the local NPR station.

Lar:
1. I've always wanted a triplet (not that you aren't enough, C! But I know you feel the same way)
2. I always have a book with me wherever I go, even if I don't end up reading it. It's a bit like a security blanket for me. I feel panic-y if I don't have reading material and get stuck some place with nothing to do.
3. I flush public toilets with my foot instead of my hand (I do realize how this is unfair and equally unsanitary for the next person- I try to use the side edge of my shoe!).
4. I have an unnatural aversion to running long distances... I find it unnatural.
5. The more nervous/uncomfortable I am, the higher my voice. On two separate occasions by two different strangers, I was told I sounded like Mini-Mouse and that I should get a job with Adult Swim.
6. I'm superstitious... always the right shoe on first.

We tag:

If some of you bloggers aren't big fans of tags we won't take it personally if you don't continue the tag.

Thanks for the tag but I've already done this one!

I love reading people's quirks!

Cath, I press down my cuticles all the time too, and I don't have long nails either. I never thought of them growing faster that way, I just know it gives me something to do in my free time. :)

Lar, I don't know why anyone WOULD use their hand to flush in a public place. I use my foot too. Sorry person that goes after me. :P

This post made me laugh! Cath, I know what you mean about redecorating a room in your head. I do it all the time. Lar, I agree with Stephanie. I think more people than not use their feet to flush public toilets!

okay, so i was in a public bathroom today looking at the handle on the toilet and i thought...yeah, that flushing with your foot thing has some merit. haha1

Wendy, I thought you might have done!

Stephanie, I'm so glad I'm not alone about the cuticle thing. I have no idea if they really make your nails grow longer.

Ash, yay! you redecorate too! I always feel super crazy when I catch myself doing it.

Juliam, join the crowd - it's time to start flushing with your foot!
