A Meme for Your Pleasure
Three times in the past month my brother has told me I was ‘the weirdest person he’s ever met.’ I took it as a compliment. I just wish I could remember what I did to spawn those comment because this would be way easier. The Home Improvement Ninja has tagged me with a Six Weird Things About Yourself meme. Most bloggers hate memes. I love them. But then again I am an OCD list-o-manic. And I don’t consider that weird.
1. Other peoples handwriting on my things drives me insane – I’m pretty sure the OCD officially started in college. I had a desk calendar and I would spend hours writing on it and crossing the days out with a ruler and then some drunk person would come into my room and write me a message on it and I would have to cut out their heart and rewrite the entire thing over. I’ve also thrown away cds people have made for me because they wrote the band name on it. I threw away a lot of great mixed cds in college.
2. If I wake up during the night I have to look at a clock or I can’t fall back asleep – this one is pretty much self explanatory.
3. I don’t eat french fries that aren’t square at the ends – I like my french fries to taste like french fries and not hard little burnt fingertips. I should actually modify this because I will eat a fry if one side is pointy and one side is square because I can eat the square side up until the pointy side. Here is an illustration...
4. I never entirely finish a drink – I was on a skiing field trip in 7th grade when I over heard some kids talking about backwash. Listening in on their conversation I learned that the last ½ or so of your drink is entirely backwash. Since that day I have never been able to finish a drink. Yes I know it's my own backwash.
5. Immediately after making a sandwich I have to take a bite out of it – I think its because I really like sandwiches and I feel the sandwich mocks me with its deliciousness and if I don’t take that immediate bite it wins.
6. I used to pretend I was allegric to grape so I wouldn't have to eat or drink anything purple - This started in high school. I hated grape/purple flavored things and to avoid having to eat/drink anything grape/purple I told people I was allergic. My friends would always yell that I was lying but they never made me eat anything grape. Suckas...

I like the pointy "burnt fingertip" fries. Send them my way. Pronto.
I'm totally with you on the fries. My favs are the "half crispy, half floppy" kind. The best ones.
Also with you on the sandwich biting. I thought everyone did that?
Glad to find your blog, even if it was via a (sadly) no-longer-in-production blog (daily dump).
#3 is strange... I'll give you that.
I posted my six weird things, and now I don't think I'm weird enough. You win. :-)
I know people who won't eat white foods, so the purple thing makes sense.
Julie Gong rules her weirdness.
I think the fries thing is cute. I think any "weird" answers are acceptable, but I'm worried that one day I'll read someone's website and one their six weird things will be the fact that they keep human heads in their freezer.
Number 4 is only true if you don't know how to drink properly. I call bullshit.
Let me finish your drinks.
I ain't proud.
I feel as if I've missed out on so much! Oh wait, this post proves that you are still a loser, pheww!
"I feel the sandwich mocks me with its deliciousness and if I don’t take that immediate bite it wins"
That's one of the most awesome things I've read in a long time.
pretty soon your going to start saving your toe nail clippings or shit like that...I can see some of these, like checking the clock before you can go back to sleep and people writing on crap...when i broke my arm in middle school i wouldnt allow people to sign my cast because i thought it made it look dirty...backwash and alergic to grape now i have to admit are crazy ass things...you swallow your own spit dont you? your like the loser in college whose afraid to drink and pulls the im allergic to alcohol call out
i don't entirely finish a drink either, for the same reason. as for everything else, i think your idiosyncrasies are cute -- including the way you describing them.
Oh my god. In the 2nd grade I lied to the teacher during a class party and told her I was allergic to apple juice just so I would get to have the last of the cranberry juice (that was dwindling in supplies).
The weird thing about it is I actually do get naseous today if I eat an apple or drink apple juice.
Did I do that to myself?
I do the same thing with the clock. I don't like to wear pants that make any noise--that's why I never owned swishy pants. And if I accidently touch one of my fingernails with one of my fingers, i have to touch all the other ones too.
The fry thing, J. Fry has the same habit.
...also, I've always known you were lying about that grape/purple thing, you weren't tricking anyone! :)
