quirks to love


I was tagged by my cousin, Julie and my friend Sariah at the same time! You girls think alike.

The Rules:
• Link the person(s) who tagged you.
• Mention the rules on your blog.
• Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
• Tag some fellow bloggers by linking them.
• Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger's blogs letting them know they've been tagged!

1) I rub my feet, rotating my ankles between the soft sheets as I'm laying in bed trying to sleep. I even unconsciously rub my chilly feet against Ryan as we're drifting off, and it drives him crazy! It's a calming factor for me, I've done it for years.
2) Speaking of sleep, I only sleep on my stomach. (even when I was pregnant I'd wake up on my stomach) It's the only comfortable position. And I have to have this maroon blanket nicknamed "Ang's Cocoon" when I sleep. (someone gave it to us for our wedding) No matter if it's summer or winter, I can't sleep without my blankie! I actually sleep with it wrapped completely around me, underneath the rest of my covers. It goes with me anytime I'm away from home too.

3) When I'm playing the piano, just for fun, going from song to song; I can't finish a song. I usually get so bored when a minute has elapsed and rarely finish a song. Drives my husband batty; as it did my parents growing up. 4) When I hear a "thumper" I immediately rush to the window or run outside to see where it's coming from. (thumper is some moron who has a big bass music system in their car, resulting in only hearing the redundant sound of bass for blocks around) Since the college scene, this has bothered me to the very core of my being. It's rude and pathetic! It keeps kids up when they shouldn't otherwise be, resulting in sleep-deprivation and making life extremely difficult. And we've had pictures shattered because of them falling off of our walls! I will also "listen" for it for the next couple hours, complaining even the slightest to Ryan if I hear it.



5) I love ice cream, therefore I have to have a couple flavors at a time in my freezer. Pumpkin in the fall is a definite must, Vanilla is a given and some kind of Ben & Jerry's chocolate kind is always in my freezer! (Ryan verifies this quirk)


6) I have a pen fetish. I hate hate hate writing in boring black or blue ink! If you get a card from me, chances are you won't see any of the usual colors; unless it's a sharpie. I love glitter ink, gel-rollers, sharpies and whatever else isn't boring. That's why I love correspondence and to scrapbook; I get to use my pretty pens!


People I tag: Mom, Christy, Ashley Stratton, Katrina, Kari, Kristi, Kristin and Kristianne. Have fun! (alliteration was accidental)

You are SO quirky! haha! JK! That was fun to read. I do the same thing with my feet at night, well not the rotating thing, but putting my cold feet on Ryan. As mean as that is it makes me laugh and him scream! hehe. I actually did this tag a few months ago but thanks!

Tami said...

Hi Miss Quirky! I learned a few things about you today...hmmm...so it's a pen and ice cream world, huh? But I DID know about the whole not finishing a song thing. Aaron does that now too! WHY MUST YOU KIDS TORMENT YOUR PARENTS!!

Thanks for the tag. I have so many quirks that I'll have to think about it a little bit to narrow it down.... what do you think my quirks are? (Maybe I shouldn't ask!)

Michelle said...

What a fun tag! You are hilarious with your quirks. I have to admit the ice cream one too. Our fav is Rocky Road...Breyers of course. yummm. Pumpkin is a must too. I think I'm going to have ice cream for dinner. :)

Ashley Lloyd said...

I read the 2nd one about your blankie outloud to Donny and he said, "Well, that sound familiar"...I do the exact same thing with my fleece blanket that I've had since high school. It drive Donny crazy when it comes to my side of the bed to cuddle with me and I'm wrapped up in my blankie and he can't get close! :)

Aimee said...

I had to smile at the whole blankie thing. I, too, have a blanket given to me I can't sleep without. It's not wrapped around me because I get too hot, but it's definitely on my bed with me. I have to know where it is before sleeping. I'm starting to wonder if it's genetic...

Barb said...

I love your whole blog. It is so fun and happy!

It's fun to read about your quirks. I think your mom has an interesting idea to ask others to list your quirks....oooo scary! I am also going to blog my six quirks but I have to think about them....Katrina just added the cool little tool that links me to recently published blogs. I am having a ball catching up with everyone....I think I will head to bed before I catch up my own (haven't blogged since school started and I went back to work!) I love you and yous!

AHGGG, I am soo not good at these tagging things. I am sitting here thinking about my quirks...and unfortunately many of them make me sound totally OCD!!! It will take me a little bit to think of some not so OCD quirks. I don't want people to think I am a total freakoid!! okay, that word is totally quirky!!

The Tufts said...

Thanks for the invite to come and play dress-up. I will have to take you up on that sometime--and bring a couple pints of phish food!

rockstar said...

I tagged you! You said I could:)

Lex and Chris said...

You are hilarious! I actually live next to a whole munch of "thumpers". IT DRIVE ME BATTY! I also remember your ice cream vetish except Ryan was working at DQ. Yeah, didn't lose any weight that semester!

Nicole said...

all this time I thought you couldn't remember the rest of the song :). Thanks for loaning us the book. I might have to institute a song finishing rule if you ever come play at our house :).

Kristin said...

Man...you tagged me? What were you thinking? i guess i'll have to think of something. i'm not very quirky, you know. :)
