Mention the rules in your blog &#8211; Yes, that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re reading right now.<\/p>\n<p>3. Tell 6 unspectacular quirks of yours &#8211; Only six?? Ok<\/p>\n<p>4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them &#8211; I&#8217;ll do that @ the end of my post<\/p>\n<p>5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger\u2019s blogs letting them know they\u2019ve been tagged &#8211; I&#8217;ll do that as soon as I publish this post.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Six Quirks Bout Me:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. I play with my breasts. It&#8217;s not sexual, but I just can&#8217;t stop. It&#8217;s been a [bad] habit since I was a kid. I have tried to stop, but I can&#8217;t. I always catch my hand in my shirt doing God-knows-what. Sometimes, I hold the entire breast; sometimes, just the nipple. I hold the steering wheel with my left hand and hold my breast with my right hand. I&#8217;ve been caught at traffic lights by male drivers, and they&#8217;ve usually given me the you-don&#8217;t-have-to-do-it-yourself look. I&#8217;ve had to zoom off as soon as the light turns green.<\/p>\n<p>2. I talk to myself. I know most people do, but when I talk to myself, I count my syllables. I add up the syllables of all the words I have spoken to myself, and I make sure they are even. I don&#8217;t want my speech to myself to be odd. Example: I won&#8217;t say &#8220;Oh God, look at that&#8221; because it&#8217;s 5 syllables. I&#8217;d rather say &#8220;Oh, my God, look at that&#8221; because it&#8217;s six syllables.<\/p>\n<p>3. I won&#8217;t order pizza with pineapples on it, but I don&#8217;t mind eating it. The catch is that I must pick all the pineapples out. Now here is the weird part: I&#8217;ll eat the pineapples as long as I throw a piece in my mouth, and then take a bite of pizza. It makes no sense. I might as well eat the pizza with the pineapple on it. But I can&#8217;t. I have to separate them, and then eat them together,<\/p>\n<p>4. When I&#8217;m doing number two (AKA &#8216;shitting&#8217;), I make sounds as if I&#8217;m pushing a baby. I even tell myself to push. I breath thru pursed lips and wipe the invisible sweat on my forehead. Then I&#8217;ll keep screaming things like &#8220;Yam, you did this to me!&#8221;&#8230; depending on what I ate before doing number two. If it&#8217;s Chinese food, I&#8217;ll say, &#8220;Chinese food, you did this to me!!&#8221; I guess when I&#8217;m in real labor, I&#8217;ll say [insert my future husband&#8217;s name here], you did this to me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>5. I&#8217;m obsessed with greeting cards. I love giving them as much as I love receiving them. I have sooooo many cards for my future husband. I even have cards for our first wedding anniversary. Now that I have the cards ready, all I need is the husband. That shouldn&#8217;t be too difficult, right? LOL. I have birthday cards for guys, girls, and even kids. I have Valentine cards for my future hubby too. It&#8217;s a sad, sad case, I tell you. I&#8217;m ashamed of even admitting it.<\/p>\n<p>6. I keep weird things. In 2004 (or was it 2003), my marine friend gave me a pack of gum. I am yet to eat it; I never will. In February of this year, a six year old boy gave me a lolipop for Valentine. I&#8217;m also yet to eat that. I keep the little papers that are tucked inside fortune cookies; I keep movie tickets &amp; put the names of the owners on them, and of course, I keep cards too. I still have cards from seven years ago.<\/p>\n<p>7. (call this extra credit). I&#8217;m a sniffer. I sniff my bed; I sniff the couch; I sniff my purse; I sniff my wallet; I sniff the inside of my car <em>(I&#8217;ve thought about sniffing my engine, but I haven&#8217;t done so yet)<\/em>; I sniff people; I sniff my hair (fake or real); I sniff my stuffed animals; I sniff my pet fish, Philip <em>(So far, I have been able to withstand the temptation of perfuming him)<\/em>. When I get my German Shepherd dogs, I will sniff them too. I will sniff my future husband &amp; children. I sniff my clothes, shoes, and jewelry. I even sniff my keys. <em>(What normal person sniffs keys? I do. Yes, I refer to myself as &#8216;normal&#8217;). <\/em>I sniff my laptop, my books, my pens, my breasts, my underarms, my hands, my feet&#8230;everything that is sniffable gets sniffed. Did you know that our sense of smell is our strongest one? I think I have an itty bitty problem with smell. This is evidenced by the following:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The perfumes I have <em>(over 30&#8230;and still counting)<\/em><br \/><em>&#8211; <\/em>The 7 air freshners in my car <em>(lucky number 7??)<\/em><br \/><em>&#8211; <\/em>The perfume in my purse <em>(in case I forget to perfume @ home)<\/em><br \/>&#8211; The endless list of perfumes I&#8217;m still gonna get <em>(and they are not cheap! Somebori help me please; I&#8217;m broke!)<\/em><br \/><em>&#8211; <\/em>The 3 air fresheners in the bathroom.<br \/>&#8211; The liquid air freshners in the living room (those ones you pour in a little thingy and place a lighted candle underneath them. What are they called again??<br \/><em>&#8211; <\/em>And of course, the Febreeze fabric freshener I always spray on the couch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>P.S. I refuse to vacuum without carpet deodorizer!<\/strong><br \/><strong><\/strong><br \/>And on the day that I vacuum, I refuse to cook! If I cook, the smell of the food will spoil the smell of the carpet deodorizer. I&#8217;d rather stay hungry than compromise the smell of the carpet.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to call me weird.
