Six Weird Things About Me

You are probably wondering what is up with the clip art I used to the left. I used it because I can be weird sometimes. Yep, me. This piece of clip art made me laugh this morning. It’s funny, and quirky and according to Trish (who tagged me for this meme) she thinks I have some weirdness in me. She may be right.

Six quirky things about me:

1) I once got drunk from water. This happens when you drink too much water and your electrolytes are depleted. You can read about it here.

2) I like to bake bacon in my oven. Did you know you can do that? You place it on a baking rack over a cookie sheet and you can cook an entire package of bacon, till crisp and not get splattered by hot grease. Cook it on 425 for 15 min or so.

3) I sit in a dark office, lit only by two small indirect daylight lamps. I have Lupus and I cannot sit under fluorescent lighting without it triggering a flare and this seems to help.

4) I won’t park next to a junky car even if the parking space is a really good one. I feel that
[a junky car = a careless driver] and I don’t like getting dinged.

5) When I go to the movies, I look forward to the 20 minutes of movie previews. I LOVE previews.

6) After taking a shower, I have to lie down again for at least 20 minutes before I can begin my day. I think initially it was to give my hair time to dry a bit in the towel but since I have to wake at 4:30am on most days, the extra 20 minutes allows me to wake up slowly.

I am supposed to tag six other people but I will just leave it open. If you want to share some of your quirks please do so!

  1. I love previews too! Often I look forward more to the previews than the actual movie. 🙂 And I like to whisper to my husband, “Ooh, that looks good, I want to see that!” or “That looks dumb.”

  2. I’m disappointed to miss movie previews–but not to miss the commercials for Mountain Dew or cars that come before the previews. and I, too, bake my bacon. I set the oven to 400 and put the bacon in while the oven’s not hot yet, and leave it in 20-25 minutes on foil–this way I can reserve the bacon drippings more easily. I have yet to use my bacon drippings, but I know I have recipes that call for it. Maybe some fried green tomatoes should be put on the menu.

  3. Ti, I’ve baked bacon in the oven and I LOVE the previews. I hate when I’m late getting to the movie and miss them.Great list!

  4. I also love previews! (Sometimes that means I love that there are 20 minutes of previews because it means I’m never late for movies! My partner and I tend to “run late” often.)
