Idio-what?
Lulu was nice enough to pass a meme this way so i think it's time to get it taken care of...
I am supposed to write about five of my idiosyncrasies (which i can only spell with the aid of spell check), so here goes...
1.) I talk to myself...out loud...a lot. I know everyone is given to the occassional mumble that is intended for no ears but their own, but i go far beyond that. I have full conversations with myself. I used to try to play it off as singing to myself when i would get caught (because singing to yourslef is soooo much cooler than talking to yourself), but now i get caught so often that it's not really even embarrassing anymore.
2.) I am fiercely protective of my loved ones. On the surface that sounds like a good thing, and i suppose in true danger situations it is, but i fear that i tend to take it a bit too far at times. The instant that i perceive that somone has even begun to cheat, disrespect or intimidate someone close to me, i feel a complusion to step in that is usually too strong to resist. I'm sure that they can handle it themsleves, i just can't help myself.
3.) I refuse to admit that every single woman does not have the same exact list of problems. With some things that i have been through, well what can i say, i've developed certain hypersensitivities...i don't want to go through them twice, i don't even want to deal with the thought that they may possibly be on the horizon. As such, i tend to jump to conclusions, shut down or over-generalize, rather than explain myself when i a female demostrates any behavior that could even possibly be leading to a situation like one i have previously had a problem with. This one really sucks, but i'm working on it.
Ok, after three i was stuck. Not that i don't have more idiosygfhdyhejdk's than you can shake a stick at, but self-identifying them is kind of tough. So i asked Lulu for help on the final two, since i provided the same service for her. This is what she came back with:
4.) "You keep massive amounts of change in your car's ashtray, far more than you will ever need to feed a meter for even a week. And you don't even insist that the coins contain themselves to your ashtray, instead you let them spill into your entire center console."
I swear, there is a method to my madness. I never spend my change, ever. Then once or twice a year i cash it all in, usually just prior to a vacation. It sounds silly, but i usually net a few hundred dollars. That said, i can not deny Lulu's description. While i house the change in several different locations, i am anything but organized about it, and my car is probably the worst scene of the bunch. It's gotten so bad at times, that change for a dollar was only one sharp turn of the wheel away at any moment.
5.) "You wear tight and flattering apparel to enhance your muscles at the gym and then wear baggy shirts to work where you don't even care to rescue a certain female employee from the landscape of unattractive men and shriveled women."
Now, by literal translation of webster's dictionary, i do not believe that this is actually an idiosyncracy. But i'm gonna leave it here because she said muscles.
Ok, that's all. I'm a freak. With muscles.
I am curious about all of your idiosyncruigdfiu's too though...so, if you're reading this, you are offically tagged. Now go give this meme a whirl and let me know when you do!
