To Meme or not to Meme?
Christa at giggle on tagged me for this meme – List 7 weird or quirky things about yourself.
This will be a fun meme to do. It should be easy to find seven weird things about me so here goes…
1. I hate root vegetables because they taste too sweet to eat with a savoury meal, yet I love Chinese food with as much sweet & sour as I can get.
2. ??? Er…….oh, I know……. er…….wait a minute……I seem to remember saying this before somewhere.
“Mo, can you tell me something quirky about me?”
Mo: “Oh have you got that again?”
Realisation that I have already done this meme slowly creeps back. I’m thankful that I couldn’t find seven more quirky things or I would seriously worry! Finding one more was bad enough! I don’t think forgetting stuff qualifies as quirky does it?
Sorry Christa, one quirky thing will have to do.
|| EDIT ||
I have decided to post the previous meme here. It was a six quirky things meme, so it now makes seven. Now please don’t tell me off any more ;O)
2. I have sudden bursts of silly, spacky dancing for no reason, or sudden bursts of loud, operatic singing! Is that quirky enough?
3. I talk with my hands, apparently. I took note of this last night and – yes, it’s true!
4. I’ve been told that I lift my left leg up and down when playing my guitar, and that it looks – cute?
5. I never read instructions. The only exception to this is when trying to put flat pack furniture together – those instructions are always wrong anyway, and I could draw them up much better ;O)
6. I have a ‘thing’ about teeth and examine everybody’s teeth on TV. I can definitely tell who has had cosmetic dentistry, and usually ruined their teeth! Of course I verbalize my views all the time.
7. I never go to bed before 3am, unless I had no sleep the night before……then maybe 2am.
Stumble it!

LOL, that’s funny. I was getting all ready to learn 7 quirky things about you but will have to settle for one, unless I dig up your old post on this meme.
so you don’t like root veggies? that’s cool.

Phew! You pulled that one off
Sweet & Sour’s a little different that just stew or something, so I can see how you’d like it.

Interesting how you can get engrossed while doing something, like playing guitar. I get in odd postures too when playing car racing games!

Ah – you have this one too! Sandi of Holding Patterns passed it to me, so you’ll see it on my blog soon, too!
I love watching the little gestures and unconscious movements that people make when occupied with something! Now I want to see a video of you playing guitar!

Omer: Yes, I sometimes get totally lost in what I’m doing

I’ll wait for your quirky post then.

He he he, you are quirky enough for me, Babs

I know what you mean about the instructions. They always suck and I end up doing it my way…

Oh my I have simply got to learn how to get the comment luv code installed in my blog.
I have been there three times now and it scares me after all of the hard work Ana did. I am afraid I will mess something up.

Karen: The cats usually beat me to bed ;O)
Ivanhoe: Yes, It’s been said that I’m a bit ‘nutty’ often ;O)
Shinade: I’m sure if you asked Ana, she would help you get Comment Love on Blogger :O)

Well done, Babs! I am going to have to resort to just making stuff up at this point. Tho given my real quirks, no one will be able to tell.

Babs! I never read instructions either!! And I’m proud of it because it means I’m not entirely an idiot like I usually think I am.
Oh, and I totally knew you never went to bed by 2AM because you’re six hours ahead of me and when I email you at 8PM my time, and get an answer I think “that girl is still UP???”
Love your quirks!

JD: You know, we would all be very boring without our little or BIG quirks ;O)
Kathy: Our clocks went back an hour the other night, and I got real lonely at 3am. You’d all gone to bed! Ha ha!
Thank you for the credits, even though I told you not to send any ;O)

OHMYGOD! The talking with the hands thing! I just discovered last week that I DO THAT TOO!
I had no idea I did that until last week. AGH! All this time, and no one ever told me.

Funny, I pegged you for being the kind of person who loves root veggies.
I haven’t forgotten about that very special thing you made for me. Rolling out the “thing” is a work in progress but I will be sure to keep you posted when “it” is announced.
