Quirky

Brandy over at The Purl Parables tagged me with a 'quirky' meme. This thing was sort of written for me because I've been called someones 'quirkiest friend' more than once.

So here goes. Six quirks about me:

1. I love vinegar.

Any condiments, really, but I put vinegar on EVERYTHING. Balsamic, Sherry, White, Garlic-Red, Cider - you name it, it's in my pantry. My favorite midday snack is Ramen noodles cooked, drained, and then soaked in white vinegar. It's also a great way to repel people from coming into my office.

2. I love knitting.

This is not a quirk for almost everyone reading this, but to my real-world friends, it's somewhat insane. My sister mentioned it numerous times in her speech at our wedding. My friends love rummaging through my (usually ginormous) purse to see what I am toting around on any given day. I also knit while driving. What - I stop when the light turns green!

3. I make up words

Sometimes the English language just doesn't allow you to express the way you feel. Example: I am tremendasaurusly tired. This used to horrify some of my English-major friends in college. I think I started doing it more frequently to annoy them.

4. I bite my nails

Gross, I know. I've tried everything to stop. At least it's not crack cocaine or something.

5. I love random trivia

For fun, I read Wikipedia. Currently, I'm reading up on the meaning of common nursery rhymes and the list of the most haunted places in the US.

6. I sing to my pets

Nothing like a little family sing-along to put everyone in a good mood. My favorite is singing "VI-VA" in place of Paul Simon's "Ceceila". Vi-Va, you're breaking my heart, you're shaking my confidence daily... oh Va-Vi-Va, I'm down on my knees... you get the idea.
