Six Weird Things About ME

Yesterday I was tagged by tink to come up with six weird things about me.

Coincidentally, it was a year ago today that dabich tagged me for the very same thing, except hers asked for only five weird things about me, not six. In the true spirit of laziness or I just can't think of anything else weird enough about myself, here's both the link from last years post, in case you don't believe me and the cut & paste version below:

The Rules: "The first player of this game starts with the topic "five weird habits" of yourself 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."

I had to take a few and think about these things, so here goes:


1) I usually sleep on the right side of the bed (when someone else is there with me). Since October 2004 though I've been laying diagonally across the mattress. I sleep in the same position every night.

2) I have to sleep on two goose down feather pillows, preferably king sized. I take them with me whenever I go on trips. (Yep, they'll come to Dallas with me.) Once you sleep on a goose down pillow, you'll never be able to sleep on a foam pillow again. Just ask my ex: got her hooked real good, I did.

3) I always put jelly on my grilled cheese sandwiches. It looks gross but tastes really good.

4) When I sign my name, my initials are always obnoxiously large, non-cursive letters. When I just sign my initials, I always partially circle them.

5) I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but I can tell you what uniform numbers some of my favorite Red Sox players wore 30 years ago. I can also read the sports page once and basically recite the entire thing back to you.

6) If I see an actor in a movie, even if it's a minor charachter, I can usually tell you what other movies they've been in. I can also identify obscure movie quotes repeated back to me - if I've seen the movie. I can do this even if I haven't seen the movie in a long time.

And, as tink recently pointed out, I'm extremely fussy about my blog, to the point of neuroticism, actually. I don't think that's weird, considering I've put a lot of effort into it over the (however long it is) that I've been in the blogging business.


I'm not going to tag anyone this year, so play along if the mood strikes you.
