spectacularly unspectacular

Melissa over at Another Day In Paradise tagged me to reveal six unspectacular quirks I possess. Thanks Melissa. I shall now reveal to you (in random order), those six quirks. But first, the rules...boo.

First you post the rules:

1. Link the person who tagged you.

2. Mention the rules on your blog.

3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks you possess.

4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.

5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.


Here goes:

1. 85 words

Speed test

Go ahead, take the test...you know you want to.


2. I think "fart" noises are hilarious, but I don't really like the word "fart". I prefer "poot" or "toot" or "stepped on a frog" or "barking spider". Those are really much better than "fart". Its such a harsh word. When I was younger, my cousin Erin and I would plan what came to be known as "The Big Blowout". This would be where, after we had already been tucked in our beds, we would proceed to make all kinds of "barking spider" noises (with our mouths). The sounds emitting from Erin's room would reach such decibels that inevitably my Aunt Sandra would appear and the door, holding back her laughter, to tell us that it really was bedtime.

3. I can't stand to touch loose hair. When I was younger and I would have to clean the bathtub, part of the chore was opening the drain and pulling the hairball out. I can't even think about it without vomiting in my mouth...UGH..

4. I can do various sound effects (carousel, squeaky bike, trumpet, heartbeat, walkie talkie, the infamous sounds of flatulence, etc.). I have been meaning to post a video of my talents and I promise I will get to it. I promise. And I actually think these are pretty spectacular.

5. I bite the skin on the sides of my fingernails. Don't judge. It's no grosser than actually biting nails or nosepicking. I used to bite my fingernails, but now I take pride in my strong, white nails. Biting the skin is really a nervous habit. I need to quit, but then I might have to take up smoking and I don't want to do that.

6. I am a perfectionist about my handwriting. In school, if I was dissatisfied with my writing, I would toss the paper and start all over. I have also been known to do this with simple grocery lists. Its not so bad now, seeing as how I don't have the time to write things until they're perfect. I also ONLY write in print. My signature is the only thing I write in cursive. Why? Because my 6 year old niece could write better in cursive, that's why. These days, I prefer to type and really don't have to write all that much. So, being able to type 85 words per minute does come in handy.

Okay, so here's the point in the post where I'm supposed to tag 6 others. Um yeah, not so much. That's the only rule I don't like. If you want to do this on your blog, then tag, you're it. If you don't, then I just hope you enjoyed reading my six unspectacular quirks.
