10 Weird Things About Me

It's a good thing I didn't do that thing about six weird things about moi. So I'm glad to do this instead. Although I have to admit that I had a tough time making this list. I already consider myself altogether weird so it was kinda difficult to pick out the weird weird from all the rest.

1) I don't like talking about myself but I do love blogging and there's no avoiding talking about me in this place so I'm doing the best not to be so 'shy' anymore.

2) I'm a list monster. Stuff like movies I've seen, new songs I've heard, and Manchester United and Real Madrid goals just to name a few. And there's no saving them somewhere in computer files. Nope. I need to write them all down.

3) I hate warm drinks even during cold weather. But I only drink cold water when there's no other choice.

4) I'm more prone to strike up a conversation with someone whom I have a lesser chance of seeing again.

5) As far back as I can remember, I dream the same dream every time I have a (high) fever--me lying down on the floor, too sick to get up as a giant rock rolls towards me. Not a fun dream at all.

6) That my favorite color is green but most of my stuff are blue. (Maybe I'm in denial. Watya think?)

7) Karaoke is not my thing. Oh, I don't mind people hearing me sing but, please, take the mic far, far away from me.

8) Not wanting to have kids of my own or even getting married when up until I was 20 all ever wanted to be the best homemaker there ever was.

9) I cry about a lot of things but rarely about my life.

10) That I managed to finish this list since I had half a mind to just do five and then link you up to my Five Truthful Thingamajiggies to come up with ten.

Aight. Now I'm supposed to tag ten people but it seems like everyone and everyone in their blogrolls have done this but if YOU haven't done this, feel free to let us know ten teeny weird things about ya.

Five Truthful Thingamajiggies

Got this from Dee last week , I think, but forgot to post it right then.

1. I have a big fear of big medicine tablets. It's because I have a history of not being able to swallow them right away causing me to puke most of the time. The sight of those 'gigantic' paracetamol, etc. tablets just makes me sicker. Whenever I feel like I'm coming down with something, I'm more worried of having to take meds than with what I'm really sick with. I'd rather have an injection shot any day.

2. I hate unlimited text messaging. I'm probably the only person who feels that way. Having my mobile inbox forty messages or so full of forwarded quotes or jokes does not make me a happy person. And that frequently happens when my friends go "unli." I might hate getting these messages but once they are in my inbox and I will start to like them, I won't be deleting them unless I've written them down in my "txt msg ntebuk." So when I don't have the time to write them all down, my inbox do get overcrowded.

3. I have the tendency to hate a person at first glance. I think it's a natural thing, if not for all then for most people. There are times when I first get to meet a person and would dislike him/her right away even before he/she has said or done anything. I'm sorry, that's just the way I am. I tried to tone it down lately but there really is no helping it. And no matter how well I get to know them better later on, 90% of the time my first impressions of them stick.

4. I have OCD. Well, I have not been officially diagnosed but having it doesn't really make one stupid so I know I have it. Have you read number 2 in this list? Or how about counting how many brushstrokes my hair gets? Or how about counting toothbrush strokes? Having my sneaker shoelaces on in a specific way? I could list down more stuff but it won't help the fact that I have it. I tried to stop anything that just seemed whacked out--like the hairbrush strokes. But then I just sort of start doing some things and all I can say is...here we go again.

5. I'm a loyal person and I think it sucks. Don't you think so? There are times when I just get tired of something (or someone!) but is too loyal to unlove them. I have stopped following the local basketball league since I was in high school but I still feel happy whenever I hear that my fave team before has a won a game, even if I no longer have any idea who the players in it are. Or I get irritated whenever someone bad mouths my old workplace, even if I quit my job there. God, I am such a nutcase!
