How Weird Am I?


It's meme time!

This one has been making the rounds amongst, well, everyone, more or less. It's the "name 6 weird or bizarre things about you that few people know about" game. And, since I'm what's politely referred to as "quirky" -- otherwise known as batshit crazypants -- it was more challenging to decide on which 6 of my personal oddities I felt like talking about this evening. So, here's those six...

1) I eat my spaghetti noodles separate from my sauce, if given a choice. Meaning, if I go out to eat and I order spaghetti, usually the sauce comes already mixed in, and I don't have a problem with that. But, when at home, cooking spaghetti for myself or my family, I will put a pile of noodles on one side and meat sauce on the other side, with a piece of french bread in the middle to keep the sauce from running over to the noodles.

2) I can't stand a blank wall in my house. There has to be something hanging, be it a calendar, a poster, a framed photo, a cork board, something. When I was younger, I'd do wall-to-wall posters. Having the colors and visual textures surrounding me calms me. Blank walls make me nervous.

3) I name my cars, my computers and my plants. The plants get whatever name I decide on at the time, and the cars and computers tend to get gemstone names. I don't know why that is, exactly. The gemstone part, I mean. But, my current vehicle is named Pearl, and this laptop I'm typing on is Opal. And I do use the names -- when a coworker and I were driving to lunch, she wondered what the temperature was outside. I glanced at the dashboard outside thermometer reading and I said, "Pearl says it's 75 degrees out." My coworker, who knows how weird I am and that my car has a name, just chuckled at the use of it.

4) I love cinnamon rolls, but I hate cinnamon. Figure that one out. I've given up.

5) I will not wear brown and gray together. It just looks wrong to me. I also won't mix white and cream, like white socks with a cream blouse, for example. If I try it, I'll feel self-conscious all day and it will drive me bazoo.

6) If I'm punching in time on a microwave, I'll do non-round numbers. For example, instead of a minute thirty, I'll punch in a minute thirty-one. Or a minute thirty-four. I have absolutely no idea why I do this.

So, there we are. And, just to round it all out --
