five weird habits

with 6 comments

Tina tagged me for this one. The meme is five weird habits. Rules are…

…The Rules: The first player of this game starts with the topic “five weird habits” and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don’t forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says “You have been tagged” (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.

Here goes!

1. I love peanut butter and mayonnaise, really miracle whip sandwiches.
2. I never tell anyone about a dream I had the night before until I have eaten breakfast because if you retell dreams without eating breakfast they won’t come true. My aunt instilled this rule in my psyche and I have now instilled it in my daughters.
3. I can’t sleep with my blankets tucked in at the bottom of the bed because my feet can’t breathe.
4. I can’t sleep with a light on or open closet doors.
5. I have never reread a book in my life. I think this must be kind of weird because of the number of people who say that such and such is their favorite book and they have read it ___ times.

This is a work in progress. Living as I have these past 23 years, mother of two, spouse of whatever, I’m having trouble defining “weird.” My “customary” is most other peoples’ “bizarre” or “freaky.” I don’t want to think about it too much now. I may slide quickly into a clinical depresssion, and then, where are we?

I’ll tag some more people later. Trying to tag people may also start the slide into depression because I am not very good at this sort of thing.

Okay, here it goes. I tag Daniella, Jill,Steve,Roger, and Jeff.

  2. Well, I am. I am just not sure that I want the whole world to know my five weird habits.

  3. Gloria–I’ve found that everyone’s “normal” is someone else’s “weird”. I love this meme because it’s nice to find out people’s weird habits–it tells you a lot about a person!

    I’ve never tried peanut butter and mayonnaise. I may have to try that sometime.

  4. HI Gloria – thanks for tagging me (and it made me see that you weren’t on my blogroll – but now you are). I’ll give this some thought and post either tonight or tomorrow. You’re so right about what is “weird” anyway. Hmmm…

  6. [...] Gloria Ferris tagged me with this meme on 1 February. I won’t pass it along — I’m not all about the chain letter thing — but I have made an honest effort to provide answers. I’ve been wracking my brain to come up with five but so far I haven’t anyone out there care to add one or two to the list feel free. Here’s what I’ve come up with. [...]
