Quirking Hard or Hardly Quirking?

April 28, 2008 by WendyB

I’ve been tagged by Dress Forms Pins and Needles and Everybody Says Don’t to reveal six unspectacular quirks. There’s a bunch of rules for doing this; pretend I just shared them. Here are the quirks.

  1. I don’t like banana peels.
  2. I never noticed that I had particularly shiny hair but now that a bunch of bloggers have commented on it, I feel prideful and like I want to pick fights with people whose hair isn’t as shiny as mine.
  3. I am so addicted to Diet Snapple that I fear it’s only a matter of time before I start snorting it, smoking it and shooting up with it.
  4. I think mice are less terrifying than cockroaches.
  5. I love pie.
  6. I used to read the end of a book before I started reading it, but I’ve cut back on that.
A pie-eating contest is my idea of heaven

I don’t like to tag people randomly, but if you think you can be as unspectacular as I am, let me know in the comments and I will announce your tagging with great fanfare. Note to Lady: I know I still have a tag from you to do. But it demands that I think so that might take a while.

    I love pie too! I had it for the first time ever when I was in New York in january and ate it almost every day that week. I really miss it now… ‘pie’ in Australia refers to meat pie, you never really see the american-style fruit pies anywhere. During my pie-binge in New York I decided that I was going to look up recipes and bake pies all the time when I got home, but I still haven’t. sad.

    mmm. Pie. Although #4 (with which I profoundly agree) is affecting my appetite just a bit. Still, I’ll get over it, and then I’ll want some pie.

    Pie yes and banana peels are a no for me too. Actually, I don’t like bananas at all.

    Your hair is hardly unspectacular!

    I love pie, too. What’s your favorite?

    Here are my six unspectacular quirks:

    1. I sleep on a flat pillow.
    2. I like to roll, not squeeze, my toothpaste.
    3. I enjoy music from the 80s, 90s, and today.
    4. I collected the state quarters until I started to forget to.
    5. For Christmas, I like getting an orange in my stocking.
    6. I wear cardigans almost every day.

    I thought I’d list the quirks here, rather than my site, because I like the symmetry. Oops, unspectacular quirk #7 — I prefer things to be symmetrical.

    I am soooo with you on the mouse thing. Mice are lovely, mice are cute….there is nothing, and I do mean nothing, as terrifying as a cockroach in one’s kitchen.

    Mice really aren’t terrifying at all…now spiders–yikes!

    haha your book quirk reminds me of the line in “when harry met sally”- “i always read the last page of the book first, that way in case I die before I finish it, Ill know the ending” haha

    Nice to learn more about you.

    You do have shiny hair. And a gorgeous smile too. And I will be hating you starting from now.

    i have a tendency to read the end of a book before the rest of it too.. this has ruined too many books for me .

    Wendy, shame on you for skipping ahead in books! But I guess your awesome scale tips back up after the pie admission. I can’t stay mad at anyone who loves pie, as I used to be a pie baker myself. Professional.

    IYF, if you ever feel like practicing your old skills…….

    Everything is less terrifying than roaches.

    I like pie and cake and cupcakes and danish and almond croissants and. . .

    I get a thank-you letter from the Diet Snapple people every quarter, for keeping their Snapple-elves in business… Diet Raspberry is my particular addiction, which one is yours?
