List 5 things you think other’s find a little quirky or slightly bothersome about you.
From the title you can probably figure out what to do. I’m going to be brave and go first! And these are in no particular order, just things that I know I do and that I think might bug people a bit.
1) Clean up after people…which wouldn’t be such a problem if it weren’t for the fact that they’re not always finished using that dirty cup or plate that I take from them.
2) Try to change other people’s “food preferences” to mine. I’m ashamed to admit it but I kicked poor John when he didn’t agree with me on how the coffee smelt! Although I didn’t kick him in his shin like he was trying to say. And ALL my food has to be spicy in order to eat it.
3) Interrupt people when they’re talking to say something, like throw in “interjections” a little too interjectionly (yes, that’s a word). And if you’re trying to say something right now please don’t because I am.
4) Use waaaay to many napkins when I eat and just in general, usually have one wadded up in my hand. One of my friends said it was not because I was so messy but because I liked to be clean. I don’t know that she’s right about that, but it makes me feel better that quirk.
5) My smiles can get out of control in a lot of photos! I will post a pic or two as proof.
Now it’s your turn! Oh, and like Connie was saying, this isn’t about bashing people so don’t take this as an opportunity to add to my list or anything…kindkly keep your 5 quirks to yourself…but written down for us to see. The thinking was that it would be interested to find out if little things that you’ve noticed are things that people already know about themselves…like my smiles getting out of hand, etc., or if nothing else we can learn what other people are conscious of about themselves, but not necessarily “self-conscious” about. - I hope that makes sense!?

Stephen Stephen…I do believe you missed the point of my post. Please reread it and update accordingly. Looking forward to reading your top 5 quirks…

You should tag people.
March 10th, 2006 at 10:07 pm
Alrighty…
1) I’m WAAAY to opionionated for my own good, also I think I intimidate people.
2) I say what everyone else is thinking
3) I Interupt someones cool story, with an even cooler one of my own, which is somehow related to theirs, hence leaving the poor person attentionless.
4) My laugh is really loud and annoying.
5) I can be pretty lazy at times
This is by no means a complete list, just what I could think of off the top of my head.

I rather like this one, and it should be pretty easy!
1. I don’t like mushy food (example like cereal that has been in milk too long)
2. I pick at my fingers and bite the insides of my mouth when I am watching an intense movie or are nervous.
3. This one I do too much and is my NWO, I talk before thinking.
4. Ok you may think I’m nuts with this but if you are in a quiet room and someone is drinking, the sound to me is like fingers on a chalk board.
5. I can never say what I want to say, it somehow always seems to come out wrong, or a mean way, or people don’t understand me. I get very frustrated with this.
6. Let’s think the last one off the top of my head is having a clean house, if I get in one of my “cleaning” moods, watch out about leaving anything in my path. I usually end up seeing every speck of dirt in the house, as if looking through a microscope.
I know it’s odd.
k, well there you have it!

That was Beth….the first comment.

Off the top of my head……
1. I’ll pretty much eat anything and think everything is good which doesn’t make me a good kitchen deacon of a home full of picky eaters.
2. Anytime I go anywhere I bring TONS of stuff. A duffel bag for an overnighter. I can never decide what I want to bring, so it’s easier to just bring it all. But I carry my own bags.
3. I don’t like staying home all day and need to get out alot, so I’m glad I have the job I do, but I bug the poor people on WNR with me who just want to stay home.
4. When I’m watching scary movies I’ll jump at the freaky parts and not just a little. Last time I threw my drink all over the poor guy sitting next to me. My ex-husband refused to hold my hand during scary movies.
5. I have to sleep with a bottom sheet, top sheet, blanket pillows and pillowcases, which makes me a pain to go camping with. But people always end up wanting my bed.

Wow Angel, you just publicly announced that you are smokey…never thought I’d see the day.
March 21st, 2006 at 11:54 am
Come on Paula, all you have to do is list 5! : )
March 21st, 2006 at 12:00 pm
And btw, what is this “smokey” thing all about?? When I think of a “smokey” girl I think about the way she did her eye makeup…duh.
March 22nd, 2006 at 12:45 am
it means they are all talk. Joke about the exciting things they will do but then run away from the party as soon as a guy asks for a dance ;(
aka…me
March 22nd, 2006 at 3:16 pm
Ah, it’s all becoming clear now…so in reality Paula, Angel and you might actually be conservative at heart, huh? : )
March 22nd, 2006 at 11:05 pm
oh jess….
You will never catch me table dancing…no matter how much I promise that “I will, if you will”. I will suggest that everyone take off their top…then I will conviently dissapear to find camera while everyone else is naked.
I pratice this regularly…it usually works TYJ!!!
March 24th, 2006 at 12:32 am
I’m conservative at heart, mind, body and spirit…unfortunately it doesn’t go well will the whole “New Bottle” thing…*sigh* so much to work on.
Unlike Angel though, I won’t even suggest getting on the table, as soon as I hear the word “dance” I’m outta there.

Ok, so I know I’m late at commenting on this one, but I really wanted to. I was reading Abi’s and they sound just like mine. Weird. Here are the first 5 things I can think of:
sorry.
1-I am a workaholic and make people feel guilty if they aren’t working as hard as me
2-I talk too much, cut people off, and always want to be the center of attention.
3-I get flustered easily when I have too much to do.
4-I pick at anything, fingers, pimples(Mike hates that), etc….
5-I have a shorter attention span than a two year old, I just can’t sit still.
