Unremarkable Tag
Robyn tagged me, so now I have to list 6 unremarkable quirks about myself. Now, I sort of think a quirk is by definition remarkable, but I’ll try to be boring. It’s hard to unsparkle this magic, people.
- I read in the bathroom, a lot. When I was in elementary school my teacher stopped letting me go to the bathroom alone because I would just sit under the sink reading until someone came to find me. Now it’s become a habit I can shake: porcelin and running water = library.
- I don’t eat birds. It sounds embarrassingly pretentious, but I look at birds and just don’t see food. It’s like if someone put a hairbrush on my plate.
- I like my juice hot. Grape and orange juices especially.
- When I am reading a book and it decribes someone’s face or tone, I try it. For example, if I read “He looked confused and ashamed as he shrugged his shoulders,” I unconsciously attempt to do the same, to see what the author meant.
- I firmly believe that I will marry the man who takes an old timey photo with me. No one ever has.
- I always have hairbands on my wrist and I always need to buy new socks.

I don’t believe you on ANY of them.
But that doesn’t mean I still don’t have a blog-crush on you…

Real, unreal…interesting either way.
Reading in the can? Kick ass. But under the sink? I’m 6′3, I’ll stick to the can (pun….?…who knows).
Birds? TBD. Hair brush? Nummy.
Balance? Funny.
Come to Portland.

I don’t eat cows or any other mammal that’s bigger than me. I have standards.

As a kid, I read a series of books (http://www.thrillingdetective.com/3invest.html) in which the main character chewed his lip when he was thinking, and since I also like to try out facial expressions and body language I am reading about, I ended up driving my mom crazy from chewing my lip all the time.
