6 Quirky Things About Me
I was tagged by my sister Carla, and have had a very difficult time coming up with them! Yeah… not really.
1. I stand on one foot in the shower.
Before you mock, you need to try it. Step 1: Choose a foot, any foot. Place it firmly on the floor within a foot of the shower wall. Step 2: Take your other foot and curl your toes and rest it on top of the planted foot. Now, tell me this is not the most natural shower position ever devised! For added comfort, try leaning slightly on the wall… I have created a nation of one-footed showerers!!!
2. I never grew up.
Evidence: Homstarrunner.com, Silly music, I read young adult fiction… a bit nerdy too, I doodle in my work meetings, and… I could go on, but I’ll save whats left of my dignity and move on.
3. I wear my watch on my right wrist and I am right-handed.
I refused to conform, I assert that this is the true way to wear your wrist watch if you are right handed. To quirk this up a bit, I also wear the face of the watch on the inside of my wrist.
4. I am a music snob.
I have a very distinct music taste that takes into account more than the song that is played. It takes into account the band and its members, future and past efforts from the group, the groups involvement in the making of the songs and albums, etc. It is a tribute to the wonderfulness of my wife that she not only puts up with my snobishness, but allows me to express it with out throwing blunt and heavy objects at me after rambling on about this band or that band for 30 min.
5. I hate talking on the phone.
If you are ever on the phone with me, and it appears that I am trying to wrap up the conversation… please don’t take it personal. I get very anxious when there is a lull in the conversation. This can be with anyone from my wife to a customer service agent. While if I am jabbering, I can go on for hours, but as soon as that lull hits, I’m running for an exit!
6. I have no sense of style when it comes to dressing my children.
I can usually dress my self without embarrassing anyone, but when it comes to picking out clothes for my kids, I am truly clueless. I don’t think I am alone in this either, this is why it is very smart for wives to have a few full outfits on hangers for dad to dress the kids. Then we just get the shoes and socks wrong!
I will now tag, anyone who has commented on my blog…. that should be about five people.

This answers a lot of questions….and when I used to wear a watch, I wore it on my right hand too. I don’t know why. The shower thing is just weird…I am also finally understanding you on the phone. I’m having a great conversation with you and pause to take a breath, and you’re gone. But now, I’ll know – no breaths…
