So I was trying to figure out how to describe myself to someone recently (in a somewhat professional way), and instead of thinking of the normal "I'm dependable, I work well with a team, etc" answers, I kept thinking of really weird traits of mine that really had no relevance to...well, anything. So obviously those wouldn't work if I didn't want people to think I was crazy.
But then I got to thinking...these weird 'quirks' are what make me "me"...so I thought I'd post a few on here. It has nothing to do with art, which is typically what I write about on this blog...but I've never really done a post about myself on here...so consider this my fashionably late but quirky introduction. :-)
Here we go...
1. When I eat a sandwich, I typically hold it on the lower right corner. Once I eat everything up to that little teeny tiny part of the crust that I've had in my hand the whole time, I stop eating. For some reason I can't bring myself to eat that piece.
2. My fingers and toes bend backwards. Like ALL the way backwards. It's pretty gross, but it makes a really cool built-in catapult when I can find small objects to launch. French fries are great ammo.
3. I'm right handed, but I'm left footed.
4. I love chocolate, and I love ice cream, but I hate chocolate ice cream.
5. At gas stations, I usually go to pump #4 because 4 is my favorite number.
6. At work, I write with a different colored pen every week. That way I can tell when I wrote something based on which color that week was. If I can't find the right colored pen for that week when I need to take a quick note, I write the note lightly in pencil and go back over it with the appropriate color once I locate the correct pen. This week's color was purple.
7. When I'm at a sit-down restaurant, and the waitress/waiter gives me a straw that's still in the wrapper, I remove the straw and put it in my drink as usual, but then I proceed to completely shred the straw wrapper into a million pieces. and I keep tearing up those pieces smaller and smaller until the food comes.
8. I absolutely cannot stand lenticular images, or the sound they make when scratched. I honestly can't even look at something with a lenticular image on it without shivering.
9. I typically look at magazines backwards. Start on the last page, work my way to the cover.
10. I secretly kinda want a Snuggie or a Slanket. I'm always cold, so I think a blanket with arm-holes is ingenious.
That's enough for now! Hope you enjoyed...and don't give me a hard time about any of them - you know you've got some too...
