6 Quirks: Tag

Amanda's Top 6 Quirks (of which she is self-aware and willing to share--I acknowledge there are some that I don't know I do and others that are just too embarrassing to admit to):

Quirk 1: I fume with the fire of righteous rage when I'm at the check out of the grocery store and the checker doesn't scan the item closest to her or him but instead reaches over items as if to avoid making the conveyor belt move. I've tried my best to get them to stop doing it. I've arranged items by type (produce, frozen, boxes, etc), by size, by color, aroma, function, alphabetically, by place of origin, food group, dietary fiber, expiration date. It doesn't matter. They reach over things..often making bags too heavy and ridiculous to be part of any rational plan...just to keep the belt from moving! GRRRR! I hope you all notice this now too so we can stop the madness! WE'RE ONTO YOU CHECKERS!

Quirk 2: I never use lol. EVAR. I will rotfl, *giggle*, haha, hehe, and even, on rare occassion, lawl. I just can't bring myself to type lol without flashbacks to 1994.

Quirk 3: Folding Towels. I think everybody has their folding towels quirk. I fold mine the way I do because of the size of towel cupboard we had in the "mushroom apartment." Troy thinks it's weird but now I can't stop.

Quirk 4: I hate feet. Mine most of all. Keep those knobbly things away from me. I paint my toes and wear toe rings so that they look less like feet. It doesn't really work but at least then people are looking at the pretty colors instead of my toes.

Quirk 5: I LOVE peeling off those clear plastic protective sheets off of things...like the displays on new electronics. Troy saves them for me and will bring one out on a particularly bad day just to cheer me up.

Quirk 6: I'm very very very bad at phone talking. It's like I have a disorder. I ramble and get flustered and I certainly can't multi-task. I avoid it as much as possible. Troy has begun trying to talk to me while I'm on the phone because he likes to laugh when I just stop talking and stare at him with a deer-in-the-headlights look of someone whose processor has overloaded and had to reboot.

Troy's Top 6 Quirks:

Quirk 1: Troy doesn't respond to tags, forwarded email, bulk email or chain letters. So I (Amanda) get to fill this out for him! hehehehe WOOT!

Quirk 2: When he washes his hands he has to get his wrists wet or it doesn't count as a thorough washing.

(I'm running my ideas by him and he keeps saying "that's not a quirk" hahahaha...he's so quirky)

Quirk 3: He keeps his index and middle finger nails of his right hands a tiny bit longer than his other nails (a tiny tiny tiny bit...they're not at all long) so it will sound better when plays his guitar.

Quirk 4: No one should ever ever wear socks to bed. He imposes this rule on the entire family...we still haven't figured out what that's all about.

Quirk 5: He reads 3-4 books at a time. Talk about multi-tasking. I don't know how he keeps the stories straight.

Quirk 6: He reuses his sandwich bags (as long as they aren't icky). This is a habit from when he was growing up and reinforced by his eco-friendly nature.

If you read this, you're tagged. Don't think I won't know...and don't think for a second you aren't as quirky as we are. If you need help here it is...Quirk 1: You read the Gomm's blog.
