Quirky
I got tagged to write about 6 random, unspectacular quirks that I possess by my bloggy friend Amy. This should be fun, because I think the quirky parts about us make us fascinating and unique…awwh kumbaya. On with the list:
I love to groom my eyebrows. I get all excited when I start to notice my brows getting a little wooly, and I grab my tweezers and scissors and start shaping. It’s like my very own bonsai tree on my face. I believe the proverb goes, “An unkempt eyebrow is the devil’s playground.”
I taught myself to write with my left hand, even though I am right handed. I thought it would be useful one day should my right hand suddenly fall off or something.
I gasp at everything. Accidentally dropping a pickle, almost shaving off my weird pigmentless mole on my leg, and missing an exit while driving all warrant an inflated and hyperbolized gasp from me. My husband hates this, every time he hears me gasp he thinks my head is on fire, and comes rushing to my aid. But when he finds me he realizes I was only gasping over a newly discovered hangnail.
I eat pasta with chopsticks.
I am not grossed out by bodily functions. I in fact welcome topics such as poop, farts, hemorrhoids, blood, vomit, mucous, child birth, GURD, IBS, surgery, swelling, itching, and puss.
My thumb is double jointed.
What about you guys? Got any good stuff that makes you quirky?

You taught yourself to write with your left hand? I taught myself to EAT with mine. We are like twins. Twins who have very different priorities should our right hands suddenly fall off.
heh.

Quirkiness….hmmmm….Im guessing that things I think are normal, are considered total quirks (or annoyances) by my loved ones, so, probably easier for them to figure than me, BUT….
My facial expressions might be considered quirky, especially rolling my eyes a lot. Or, I love to sing, out loud, in a sort of opera style that My Honey says sounds terrible. Here’s one you might enjoy Becky, When I have bangs (which I dont have now, probably because of this weird quirk) I cant stand to have hair in my eyes, at all, and so I like to keep my bangs cut freakishly short.
Are those quirks?
PS. your goodies will be here any day (delay courtesy of my lamness in placing the order.)
