I’ve been tagged by Allison to reveal some of my neuroses quirks… I couldn’t spoil the fun, but then I had a difficult time picking just six of them. So many weird things eccentricities to choose from. Hopefully I chose some entertaining ones. Enjoy!
The rules are:
* link to the person who tagged you
* post the rules on your blog
* share six non-important things/ habits/ quirks about yourself
* tag at least 3 people at the end of the post and link to their blogs
* let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog
1. I eat chocolate cold. If I buy a chocolate bar or kisses, I immediately put them in the refrigerator when I get home. I’m not sure when I began doing this or why. I just dig the way it tastes. I also eat all Hershey bars one square at a time. On the slim chance that I’m eating Lucky Charms, I’ll eat all of the marshmallows last and I’ll eat them one color at a time. When I was a kid, I ate one item on my plate at a time and I would always eat the meat last. Apparently, I was neurotic from birth.
2. I haven’t had cable in 5 years. And I only miss it occasionally. Usually in the winter on Sunday afternoons when every channel is playing the same infomercials over and over. Thanks, but I’m not interested in the Jack Lalane juicer (that weird jumpsuit he wears kind of freaks me out) or Tony Little’s Gazelle (Tony, please stop yelling… and oh yeah, the 80’s called and they want their permed mullett back).
3. Pens without caps drive me crazy. I especially hate it when someone uses my pen and then leaves it on my desk open. It has a cap, put it back on. You got it out of my pen cup, make it find it’s way back there. Leaving an open pen on top of the post-it note, doesn’t make me respond to your request more quickly.
4. For my 30th birthday, I got a tattoo. I promise it’s not a “tramp stamp.” It’s a red lotus, which means purity of heart, and it’s on my right hip. If you asked me on my 20th birthday if I’d ever have a tattoo, I would’ve said “No way, Jose.” Proof how much people can change in 10 years time. Most people, even close friends were really surprised. I love it… the tattoo and the fact that I can still surprise people from time to time.
5. When I shop for books I usually buy 2 or 3 at a time and then try to read all of them at once. I know, how very ADD of me. (Just think of kids at Christmas who try to play with all of their new toys at once.) After a week or so… I get overwhelmed and stop reading all of them. Then about a month later, I start reading them again… one at a time.
6. I frequently drive away from my apartment wondering if I locked my front door. And every once in a while I’ll actually circle the block (I live on a one-way), so that I can be sure that I did. I live in a first floor apartment, so it’s all in the name of security. But here’s the thing… it’s never once been unlocked. As a side note: I’ve been having a recurring dream that I’ve left for work in the morning and my car has been stolen. The first few nights I had this dream, I actually went to my window to make sure it was still there.

Fun list
. Regarding #3, I absolutely agree. I prefer retractable pens to avoid the whole cap issue altogether. Leaving an un-capped pen atop a Post-It note seems reason enough to delay response!
Love your list. I always put my chocolate in the fridge too. It drives my husband nuts when he’s looking through the fridge because one of the crisper (exactly what are these drawers crisping?) drawers ends up as the chocolate catch all. I am also guilty of numbers 5 & 6. Neuroses have a way of being consistent.
Kit Kats must go in the fridge! I want to start a website to help reunite lost caps with their pens.
