As posted on this thread on STM yesterday (today for me), the first in a set of weekly blog challenges.
Challenge no. 1 ~ list your quirks!
quirk ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kwûrk)
n.
- A peculiarity of behavior; an idiosyncrasy: “Every man had his own quirks and twists” (Harriet Beecher Stowe).
- An unpredictable or unaccountable act or event; a vagary: a quirk of fate.
- A sudden sharp turn or twist.
- An equivocation; a quibble.
- Architecture. A lengthwise groove on a molding between the convex upper part and the soffit.
So, as per definition 1, here are some of mine:
- When I sleep, I need at least one limb outside of the duvet, whether it be an arm, a foot, or an entire leg.
- When I’m nervous, I get up out of my chair, walk around it, then sit back down. Repeat if necessary.
- I rarely photograph people because I generally don’t find them that interesting of a subject.
- I keep my CD Collection in alphabetically order by artists, then album name. Even with 500 CDs I know instantly if a single one is out of place.
- I keep constant lists. I never look at them or use them. I just write them.
- I prefer talking on the phone using my deaf ear. Really. I always struggle to hear what people are saying since I only have 30% hearing in that ear, but I can’t stand the phone against my other ear.
- During highly creative periods I NEED to eat blueberries.
- I have a constant drive to be productive. However, productive in my books means creating something physical. If I can’t hold it in my hands, it’s not productive.
- I have a natural understanding of languages. I have yet to meet a languange I can’t understand to some degree, and I usually understand to a high degree any Western language within a couple days of being around it.
I think this would make a great All About Me page. I need to find a photo. :)
