Theater of the Soul

Quirks. Everyone has them, right? Some are cute and endearing…some just make you say “What the fuck?”. So here’s my attempt to start the next world wide web meme: List the ways in which you are just a little bit ‘touched in the head’.

Here’s mine:

1. I am very fussy about my java. I simply can NOT drink coffee out of a white ceramic mug…I swear, it tastes ‘different’. The mug has to have a dark inside. I MUST have half and half…not milk. My motto: Life is too short to drink bad coffee.
2. I willingly get up at 4am every single day. I need a few hours of peace and quiet before I can face the world…or my children.
3. I can’t see the point of spending $10.00 on one pair of underwear, yet think nothing of spending obscene amounts of money on computer parts or books.
4. I am a woman born without the cleaning gene. I don’t ever feel the need to clean…I usually smell it first. I DO clean, quite often in fact, but it’s not a biological imperative like it is for most women.
5. I am fascinated with planes of all shapes and sizes. Just don’t ask me to actually board one. I’ve flown twice when I was a preteen, but since gaining a sense of my own mortality, I’ve had a very pronounced fear of flying.
6. I am thoroughly convinced that I will win the lottery. I never actually play, mind you, but I WILL win.
7. I talk to myself all the time. That woman you saw in the car last week who looked like she was singing along to music was probably me, talking to my invisible friend. I also answer my own questions. Yes, I DO find that a little scary.

I’m not going to tag anyone but would love trackbacks to your posts if you decide to fess up and display your craziness for all the world to see.
