I was tagged with this meme by Chase who was, in turn, tagged by Dawn at WriteWingBlog.
Rules:
- Write a few weird/strange/quirky things about yourself, the total number is up to you.
- Post it in both my comments here and on your blog (if you do memes).
- Leave a comment on their blog telling them they've been tagged (if you, unlike me, like to tag).
My weird/strange/quirky things:
- I'm not terrified of balloons, but I refuse to drive a car in which balloons are in the main portion of the car (I had a bad balloon-related, car-flipping accident the summer before my senior year in high school).
- I have brown hair (although it is becoming progressively more grey speckled), yet my goatee has a distinct red tint to it.
- I only recently overcame my propensity to buy DVDs of movies I've never seen but was convinced I would like. Now I rarely buy DVDs at all. Even of movies I have seen and liked.
- It would probably take two trips to move all my personal crap out of my office. Good thing I don't commute via train.
- Everything on my desk has its own place and it drives me nuts when coworkers move my stuff and don't move it back (sorry if you're reading this, D; but it's the truth).
- I constantly wish the world would return to a barter system of doing business.
- Although I say I'm unaffected by celebrity, apparently my actions, in their presence, defy my words. A friend said I geeked out when I met Kevin Smith. Go fig. And I'm a sucker for a good signing opportunity.
- I'm terrible at sports despite my love of them.
- For years, I was a diehard Yankee fan living in the Midwest. Not a bandwagoneer, mind you. I was a fan since their crap days in the mid-80s (Don Mattingly is my favorite player of all time). And once they started becoming the perennial favorite, I dropped them entirely.
- I pay better attention in meetings when I'm playing a game on my Palm Pilot. I have found that my brain is more awake and aware. Even though I look like I'm not paying attention, I take more away from meetings when I'm playing a simple puzzle game like NoNo or Sudoku than when I pretend to "look interested." You just can't scoff at alternative learning methods.
As per usual, no tags. Steal it if you will.
