List some quirky facts about yourself:
--
I like the number 3. I do repetitive things in 3s.
My eyes are always red at the end of the day.
I don't like the last sip of tea, coffee, or beer in each serving.
I don't like the dregs of cereal milk or melted ice cream in the bowl.
MSG gives me itchy eyes.
My fingernails grow at hyperspeed, and I usually cut them every Wed.
I share one quirk with you Lil Me.....my nails also grow at hyperspeed....and my hair as well.
-If someone tells me to relax, it most often has the opposite affect.
-I'm not a ketchup person, yet I prefer ketchup on my French toast, rather than the more common powdered sugar or syrup.
-I don't like beef stews or soups or in Chinese food, yet I like beef.
-I like all the stuff in my fridge to be transferred to unified bottles or jars or containers, because I don't like all the clashing labels. (ok...this one might be a little beyond a quirk)
-I don't have armpit hair...never have....perhaps it's too busy growing at hyperspeed on my head. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]

[img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a090.gif" border=0] Perhaps that's TMI. .
Too Much Information. Upon rethinking, I have realized that it is not a quirk, but an oddity. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
I ignore 'good' advice when it's unsolicited.

P.C.- you're quite fortunate to have the quirky hairless armpits!
Uh...I've got an armit thing....this is probably TMI as well.
I developed vestigial (extra) nipples in the armpit region. After Jeckyl was born, I had breast milk dripping out of my armpits- not just through the vestigial nipples, but through regular armpit flesh.
LOL. Heard something on the radio this morning that Skeptic Cat would love to make fun of....
*drum roll please*
Breast enlargement by hypnosis.
hmmm. I have like a million quirky things about me since Im a complete nutcase. hmmm
- I sleep with a stuffed bunny and a Deidara (anime) stuffed doll....(yes, seriously)
- I also sleep with the light on alot since Im a complete pansy.
-Despite being a pansy I am also a cool kickass ninja.(well, in my head I am)
-When I get mad at people without realizing it, I always appartently stick my head and nose up in the air and refuse to look or talk to them.( Hay, I am too mature)
- I get hyper alot and can laugh at hours at the stupdiest things....Usually I laugh so hard my eyes are watering like crazy and I fall down holding my stomach.
-I fall down alot and bang into things alot.
-Im pretty sure theres at least 6 other people inside my head, yeah.
-If I see a bug I'll seriouslly run for my life screaming and possibly crying.
- I have a obsession with heights and generally every movie I watch I'll look up the heights of the main actresses or anyone I think is around my height. If their taller then me Im happy, If their shorter then me Im upset.
-Im pretty sure Im gonna eventually be the crazy cat lady. I love cats.
-I phone my own number so I get the voice machine and sing into the phone and then listen to my message so I can hear what I sound like, Then erase it and do it again and again. Sometimes I axidentlly forget to earse it and the message goes through. Thus pissing my mom off who has to listen to the whole message before deleteing it. and my retarded singing. ahahaha. Yeah I cant sing at all...my voice is too high.=(
-I am obsessed with hair color as well.
-Theres alot more but I cant remember them all rite noe.
Hmmm.... interesting thread.
- I like books, if I don't get to read a book (or anything) in the morning in the bus (or when coming home), it would drive me bananas
- I can't text message for the life of me
- I find beating up monsters & bad dudes on the Xbox from time to time relaxing (no, I'm not usually this violent)
- I can't stand to have my driveway blocked with snow so I would rather shovel it three times than leave it snowed over till morning
- I love my work but not the people in it
I haven't seen a list of your quirks yet Michel....hmmm? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)
I thought of another one.
-I have been know to buy a product specifically because it is packaged beautifully. Sometime I don't even use the product, because I don't want to mess it up.
All in all, I have some concerns over my sanity.
Oooh, P.C. Sometime you should go to a movie set sale in Vancouver. You can buy all kinds of purdy props...that don't actually work :)
I have an aversion to using the last "bit" of a product (ie toothpaste). I save it. And open a new tube.

They get advertized sometimes. I'll keep my eyes open.
I have a suspicion the list will be long. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)

Perhaps a new thread might be in order ? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)
i need time for meditation at least 2 times per week time for me my self and I. if i do not have this set quiet time i tend to be irritable and moody. i hate when work interferes with a day of fishing church or meditation....
for every company i have ever worked for i have made clear to them i do not work Sundays. i will work a Sunday in a emergency situation or in the death of another employee, but other than that i will not work Sundays this is my day of rest. my time to reflect through meditation or prayer either in church or at the lake with a fishing pole...
fishing is the same as a day in church, spending time in meditation with incense and the bible is almost as good as church. going fishing is the same as a day spent in meditation. for me both are fantastic and relaxing...
the thing i love best about Sunday church services is the time spent in worship, the chance to sing.. ( it is about the only place people don't run away screaming or start beating me over the head with heavy objects while repeatedly yelling shut up shut up shut up ) :D
i love to fish in lakes streams ponds sloughs rivers and creeks. i don't like fishing in the ocean very much.. go figure.
hmm cool thread.
In the severe cold my eyes go green and get icey/sharp look
I listen to ABBA and I'm not ashamed
My social life looks like a United Nations meeting
I go out of my way and not eat Americanish food.
When someone asks what country I'm from, I say Missouri
If someone asks where's St Louis, I say at the bottom of Budweiser bottle/can
I never say the US or America to denote the country but just 'the states'
To half the people that know me think I'm from Vancouver Island
To the other half think I'm from Kitsilano
Some get the impression I was born in Hungary or Germany
I can't stand southern accents, I see it as a choice as I know people and grew up with people from the south who don't have the accent, I see it as lack of intelligence. (I'm not alone in this thinking, Stephen Colbert for example)
I'm a fierce defender of Canadian/British English and not American English. To the point that I got a few places to take down signs that were spelled in American spelling. I can't seem to stop trying to find a use for the word whilst in essays even though it is apparently a no no. whatever.
The federal government of Canada told me to put down Nationality: Canadian on federal docs even though I have no real immigrant papers.
I get giddy talking about Canada, could talk to you for hours and days on just Canada in general
I rather speak metrically and in centigrade even when back in Missouri.
convinced that if I grew up in a metric country I'd be a science major, the states holding me back as usual
I try to eat a different ethnic food for dinner each day of the week (monday chinese, tuesday greek, wednesday japanese/vietnamese, thursday indian, friday mexican or mish mash or cook, weekend british to sushi to try something new, cook) and so on
I'm a recovering nacho addict
I drink fancy beers, microbrews/local
I usually walk the entire Central Business District and West End.
I have a tendency to walk all of broadway or 4th up to granville sometime during the week
when I'm not feeling well I eat pho as it reminds me of chicken noodle soup for some reason
I dress down, not really flashy although lately I've been wearing my nice coat everywhere
I get 4-6 haircuts a year
my nails grow like wild fire (like lil me)
constantly fiddle with my glasses
I explore neighbourhoods
I like to read travel writers
I find malls claustrophobic and I get cranky this explains my loathing of malls without natural air
only person on the planet that can get up at 6am and be late for a 9am class when its 100m away. Where the 3hrs go I have no idea.
I can't read in cars, I'll get car sick
I go a week without shaving usually
I do some sort of meditation everyday
I always take the stairs leaving the building or going down to the main level, elevator coming back up
I call Oma on Sunday afternoons, mother after the last class of the day
I carry two cell phones
night owl
when driving I never take the same route to a place and back, I'll always go a different way home from the way I came.
well that's the most I can think of at the moment.
Michel, those names..... well, they all begin with the letter M. Care to gander as to who they're named after? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
I know Michel's quirks - must have sex 24 hours a day, seven days a week. HAHA.
One of my ear is deformed. When I was a baby, I slept too much on one side, pressing the ear lobe down. Whenever I wear a headband with my hair tied back, people would say that my headband is too tight on my ear but I would have to explain that my ear is this way and there is nothing that I can do.
I also can't pronounce my "r's" properly. It doesn't sound right. I can't say "rain" properly and "remember" and other r words.
what do you say instead purelife?
On accents I go in and out of whatever the local accent is.
I'm not telling you how it sounds!! LOL. I'm not going to get made fun of.
The first person who ever noticed it was this gal who sat behind me in chinese school. She said, "PL, say "RAIN!" Then she'd laugh her head off and I'm thinking "what gives?" :P
Awww. That makes me sad. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif) Kids can be cruel....although as kids, they don't realize the impact of their words....but it still makes me sad.
LOL its okay purelife. ;)
I used to have a phobia about going out without a watch on. But this month, I've been able to break myself of that habit.
One grandfather died when I was a kid. I wasn't taken to the family visitation before he was cremated (I was 4), so I secretly didn't believe that he was actually dead. For years afterwards, I used to call his phone number, expecting him to answer.
Awww....that is SO sad.
I've never actually told any family members that I used to try to phone him!
You should. You never know what memories it might spark for them. I love hearing the things my sisters remember.
I should tell them.
It took me 20+ years before I confessed that I was the one who cut the cord on grandma's coffee pot. Noone suspected me at the time (I was 3!) so my older cousin got the blame. It was so damn tempting! Wirecutters were left out on the table...right next to the coffee pot. I only cut about 3/4 of the way across the cord...then I stopped...(didn't want to get in trouble!)

[/DIV] You probably wouldn't have gotten grounded.....I think there's a statute on these things.
