Quirk

A few days ago, I was asking someone what it meant to be "tagged." Well, the next day, as it turns out, one of my favorite bloggers, Bobby, at revellian.com tagged me. So, here's my first meme. (yay)

List 6 of Your Quirks


1. My schedule. I am trying to maintain a more normal sleep schedule for purposes of good health, but at this point, it is pretty crazy. I am just always bursting at the seams with things I want to do and sleep seems like an impediment to everything I want to do. I may go to bed at 10 pm wake up at 2 am and be up to one of a million things-doing yoga, having a few glasses of wine and calling my insomniac friend to invite her over to watch a movie at 3 am, cleaning my house, practicing djembe drums, you name it. Then, after a few hours of activity, I go back to sleep for a few hours. I know this is unhealthy. I don't do this every night, but at least 3 nights a week I do.
2. Losing things-I lose an inordinate amount of stuff. Now that I am single and having to be completely responsible for myself, this quirk is greatly improved, but still something I struggle with. It used to drive my ex husband crazy. Once, on a date that lasted all day, I left my purse at 3 different locations, luckily managing to get it back each time. I always lose my keys, so I have several sets. Also, I have locked the keys in my car so many times I just completely stopped locking my car. The likelihood that my car will be tampered with is much lower than the likelihood of my locking the keys in it.
3. Ok, some people would call this one superstition, but to me, it is something real. I am careful not to remind the universe that it “owes me.” For instance, I would never say, “hmmm....I haven't had a cold in 2 years” or “I have never had my left pinky toe trampled by a herd of elephants.” From experience, I know that the instant those words escape my mouth, those very things will begin to happen. People think I'm kidding when I tell them about this, but I'm dead serious.
4. I don't have certain emotions that other people tend to possess. It is all but impossible to make me angry. I almost never feel outraged or hurt when someone says or does something unkind. I just view their unkindness as a character flaw that was created by some combination of their childhood, biology, or life events. For instance, when my husband cheated on me, I didn't feel betrayed or sad. I can't quite describe it to you, but I just understood that this kind of thing happens all the time for whatever reason. I almost instantly forgave him and I still love him in a friend sense, but I separated from him. I don't seem to have an ability to harbor ill will toward anyone for any amount of time, but I do separate myself from people who do not have my best interests in mind. So, basically what I'm saying is I seem to have very little ability to feel negatively in any sense, but I am almost always intensely happy to the point of being giddy. Many people suffer from depression, I seem to have the opposite.
5. I gave it some thought, and I could only think of 4 quirks:( Sometimes quirks can be good. They can make people interesting and endearing.
