Six Quirks Monday, June 09, 2008 3:15 AM

It was forever ago when I was tagged on three separate occassions by Fruchtzwerg's Island, Fashion Diciple, and K-Line to reveal six unspectacular quirks of mine. I have many quirks, but because my friends and family are used to them, I don't give much thought to my quirks so I had to really think about them. After this, I bet no one is going to tag me again because I took two months to do a simple meme!

The Rules
· Link the person who tagged you.
· Mention the rules in your blog.
· Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
· Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.

1. I often joke I eat about once every hour. I'm about small but frequent meals. However, after ten o'clock at night I'm constantly eating; everything from small snacks to full blown meals. Tonight's late night snacks included: leftover pad thai, carrot sticks with dip, crackers, and Dad's oatmeal cookies.

2. If you tell me your birthday or an important fact about yourself, I won't remember it, but I will remember the random details about your life (ie. the time my friend hid her report card from her parents until after the Foo Fighters concert -- the last time I mentioned it to her she couldn't even remember this).

3. My left hand is used for writing and eating and my right hand is used for throwing, hitting, crocheting, and cutting with scissors.

4. Lever 2000 is one of my favourite scents. Also, when something smells good I can sit there sniffing it forever.

5. One of my favourite things to watch on teevee are infomercials for cleaning products. I love it when the grim and dirt magically disappears with the use of the product that's being advertised.

6. Sometimes I am too embarrassed to tell the server how much cream and sugar I want in my tea because I put in at least four creamers and four packets of sugar. This is because my grandma used to make it for me this way. When I was little I would beg for some of her tea and she'd give me a third of a mug of tea and load it with milk and sugar.

By now, I think everyone who wanted to do this meme already has so I'm not going to tag anyone.

Really interesting quirks. I'm good at remembering people's stories as well or what I talked about with them last, but their name will completely escape me. I can't imagine watching infomercials for pleasure though!

OMG - We are so the same re: 3. I am a leftie for writing and eating only. Hilarious. K

Point number 2 is me too, I am terrible with numbers, adresses, and birthdays but I can remember stories, jokes and events perfectly. I also tend to indulge in late night snacks, although I never have such good things lying around to eat!

I can't believe there's another person like me with the left/right hand thing! Back in elementary school, kids would always hand me the left-handed scissors when passing them out for art class, but I always had to exchange them for a right-handed pair.

Haha, it's only the cleaning ones I can't stop watching. I was completely enamored by the Scunci Steamer for the longest time.

Hurrah! I'm not alone with super sweet and milky tea! My friends always laugh at me.

I don't always have yummy things lying around. I was lucky last night my snacks were semi-healthy. I'm trying to eat more healthy snacks, but it's hard! Ramen noodles are always so good at two in the morning!

You should! I'd love to read about your quirks.

I love Lever 2000 too.

I use both left and right hand too!

hmmm... I can see a lot of similarities we share from your posts, but not the quirks :) especially, not the cream and sugar obsession :)

yulanda replied to ellen | 2008-06-14 11:28 AM | Reply

yes, yes, they are. This week turned super hectic/busy so I haven't had time to post. Thanks for your concern! I didn't mean to leave people hanging, which is why I tried to keep commenting on blogs.

The second fact make me smile as I'm exactly the same, I'm really bad with people's birthday too but I can remember really odd things about them (like what shoes they were wearing at times..) and just saw the above comment, hope things get less hectic soon :)

Jill | 2008-06-17 05:01 PM | Reply

I was definetly going to ask if something was wrong too, and I'm glad everything is ok, but hurry back! We miss your photos!

yulanda | 2008-06-17 09:16 PM | Reply

Thanks :) I'll be trying to get back into this swing of things this week!
