Well, OK, maybe actually using the “word” pshaw is in itself a little weird, but otherwise I’m totally NORMAL. Except for maybe one or two little bitty things. Teeny. Tiny. So how can I possibly come up with “Ten Weird Things About Myself,” as tagged by Cloudscome? *sigh* I dunno. I’ll trrryyyyy, but it’s going to be a streeeeetch, I’ll tell you that much!! HAR-UMPH!!
1. As I’ve posted about, it’s a rare day when you’ll find me wearing socks that match. I just don’t have time for it with my plethora (good, fun word) of fun socks.
2. I love words, in fact. Especially words like plethora that are fun and not used a lot. Whimsical is one of my favorite words. And sometimes I make up words, often a combination of two words: confuzzle is a good one. Mark my words, confuzzle is going to take off as a new word!!
3. One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast is cottage cheese on toast. Mmm-hmm. Try it. I can go for 6 months eating cottage cheese on toast for breakfast nearly every morning.
4. I don’t like to wear actual pajamas as pajamas. In the winter I tend to wear long underwear and in the summer I tend to wear oversized t-shirts. I don’t like nightgowns because they get tangled up in my legs and I don’t like regular pajamas with the pants because the pants are typically 125877″ too long for my short legs. OK, maybe not quite that long, but still way too long for my legs.
5. I got my first tattoo at the age of 45, just last year as my birthday present to myself. Shocking nearly everyone I know, I might add. Yeah, I’m a late bloomer 
. I’m probably going to get another one this year. No, this doesn’t mean I’m going to get one every year now; I just want one more. Or maybe two . . . .
6. I have/had what some so ignorantly called an “obsession” with the movie Brokeback Mountain. But come on, “obsession” is such an ugly word. It isn’t/wasn’t an “obsession”; it is/was an intellectual engagement. Just because I saw the movie six times in the movie theater (in the course of about six weeks), scheduled the times that I worked nights so that I could watch it during the afternoons, bought the book Brokeback Mountain: Now a Major Motion Picture, bought the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack, bought every magazine that mentioned Brokeback Mountain, Heath Ledger, or Jake Gyllenhaal that I could get my hands on, put pictures of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal (in character) on my office wall like a teenager, was one of the first in line to get the DVD when it came out, and talked about the movie nonstop for about 3 months, does not mean that I was obsessed with it. Sheesh!!
7. I really like a lot of what’s considered “kid’s food,” but some of it with more adult twists. Some favorites are: macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches (but on wheat bread and not American cheese, blech!; either Swiss or cheddar cheese), peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (but on wheat bread), cheez-its, animal crackers (especially the frosted ones), and fruit snacks. But not bologna, chicken nuggets or spaghetti-o’s.
8. As long as I’m not in a place that’s too foreign to me or I’m not under time constraints, I really don’t mind getting lost. I see it as more of an adventure (as long as it’s not “this is a dangerous place” adventure). This can be very nerve-wracking for people with me, though, if they’re All About Control.
Them: Where are we?
Me: Oh, I don’t knoooww.
Them: Well, which way should we go then?
Me. Beats me. . . . Why don’t we turn right . . . that loooooks pretttttyyyyyyy . . . . .
Them, thinking: Must. Not. Kill. Her. With. Bare. Hands.
9. I have this in my office at work and I’m not afraid to use it:
10. I’ve been known to play Christmas music in August. Loudly.
See? Not weird at all! HMPH!!
OK, now I’m supposed to tag some people. I think a lot of people have already done this (is that right???), but let’s see, I’ll give it a shot and tag Letters To A Birthmother/ Mama2Roo, A Barrel of Nelsons/ Angela, Silent Cacophony/ Sara, and Journey to Jackson/ Laurie.
Tag, You’re IT!!
I’m a goof!
