Quirky...

Do you ever catch yourself doing something quirky? I sat and thought about some of the things I do that might make people think I'm weird:
  • When I cough, people say..."Bless You". When I sneeze, I get offered a glass of water for my throat. Apparently, a sneeze sounds like a cough and a cough sounds like a sneeze.
  • Sneezing makes me flitter my hands like I'm trying to fly.
  • On my birthday, whenever someone says..."Happy Birthday Candace"...I say "Happy Birthday" back.
  • I hide my underwear in my pants at the gynecologist. 2 minutes later, he looks at my crotch. You explain that one to me?
  • If someone on the phone whispers to me, I whisper back. (I know you do it too!)
  • If I'm driving and I smell smoke (or anything that could indicate my car is about to take a dump), I have to turn the radio down to sniff the air?
  • I always flip or say words backwards. I don't mean to do it, I've deemed it as speech dyslexia. I still can't say "Pack rat" on the first try.
  • Everything is a make-shift microphone. I seem to like hairbrushes and remote controls the best...SUPERSTAR! (My best Mary Katherine Gallager impression..)
  • I don't have to go to the bathroom to do the Pee Pee Dance, but I'm better at it when I have to.
  • I love the "Double Chex" song and still sing it with great pride. "I I love love double double chex chex...better better than than the the rest rest...corn corn rice rice sweet sweet crunch crunch...double double crisp crisp bite bite munch munch."
  • I can flip my eyelids and hyper extend my knees backwards.
  • When I'm dead tired and the phone rings, I'll answer my remote.
  • Absent-minded. I've put the ice cream in the pantry and the keys in the fridge.
  • I saw a POW-MIA sticker on the back of a car and asked..."What's powmia?" Uhhh, my husband's in the military!
  • Mountains are sleeping dinosaurs. I will debate that with anyone.
  • I still laugh whenever I'm at the grocery store and see "Poppycock".
  • I'm a 25 year old with "footsies" (full body pajamas with plastic feet, the ones that babies wear).
  • I miss: Popples, Cabbage Patch Kids, Ewoks and Gizmo dolls, GEM, Snorkels, Fraggle Rock, Glow worms, Lightbrite, Don't Break The Ice, Don't Spill The Beans, and Skip It.
  • I will sing along to all jingles, commercial ads, and tv show themes. "Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down..." Oh, and I will hum to the beginning of every Law & Order.
  • Say "Toy Boat" 5 times as fast as you can. Can't do it can ya?

Sometimes people are too uptight. They live with a stick up their ass and not a smidge of humor in them. Sometimes you just gotta lighten up and live a little...

What are your quirks?

I too surfed in from Blog Explosion. Your post made me laugh and shake my head YES many times!

I'd LOVE having geckos pop up! Especially if they'd eat all the spiders and centipedes I have here!

Love your sense of humor!

Did you know that I took my dog for a walk, watch him do his business, picked it up, and then smeared it on the handle of a newpaper box? I didn't like the newpaper (tabloid style) but I feel guilty...
Should I?

I can't wear colored socks for lounging around the house. They must be white.

Most of the time, I don't get the option of wondering what I do that make folks think I'm wierd. They tell me all about it all the time.

Oh yes, I totally do the flip reverse thing with words, too. I always say I did shit jack, instead of jack shit. I can't for the life of me remember whether I should order my eggs easy-over or over-easy. And I called my boss an ass-crazy lunatic once.

Whenever I see the Poppables commercial on TV (a candy commercial), I think of Popples. And I still have my Cabbage Patch dolls. I no longer have my Skip-It, but Fraggle Rock still rocks. I also miss the Wuzzles.
