Six Quirky Things Meme

Posted on May 14th, 2008 by Sterkworks

Schmutzie challenged me to participate in a “Six Quirky Things Meme.” I’m up for a good challenge.

So the rules are that I link to the person who tagged me (Schmutzie), post the rules, and then write a list of six quirky things about myself. Then, tag six people to do this meme with links to their weblogs. Easy enough, and I’m always looking for things to blog about. It seems like a blogging chain letter. Weird.

Six Quirky Things About Sterkworks (Of course, I think they are normal.)

  1. If taste buds are bugging me, I cut them off. Yup. With the little scissors on my Swiss Army Knife attached to my key chain. (Every lesbian should have one.)
  2. I must organize my money (paper bills) in order from largest in the back to smallest denomination in the front. Then for each denomination, the newest and cleanest bill has to go to the back and progress forward to the oldest, most wrinkled, dirtiest bill. Repeat for next denomination. And of course, all facing forward and upward.
  3. I was once so obsessed with ironing, that I even ironed my underwear. (Big step this weekend…I threw away my ironing board.) I once tried to iron the collar of a model on a shoot while the blouse was still on her. Decided against that. Could have been Sharlene Wells-Hawkes (former Miss America). She is a future blog post all unto herself.
  4. I try not to swear around my daughter, but swear up a storm when I drive. I get all the fucks out. My favorite is Jesus Fucking Christ. And I like it. And I feel naughtier than when I do anything else.
  5. I say completely non-politically correct things around people just to get a reaction. They know I believe the exact opposite, but the look of shock on their faces that someone would actually say something so bad is priceless.
  6. I am allergic to cilantro. It makes the back of my head go numb, in a really good way. I keep threatening to grow it and dry it and smoke it and see what happens.

So here are the people I am tagging. Do it or don’t. But it is kinda fun. Like I said, it reminds me of a blogging chain letter. And hey, free linkage.

BearsMountain, a late in life lesbian who just figured it out.
Bunnie Blog, born and raised among the crazy Mormons.
Drop Dead Chris, 30ish, cool tattoos.
Sov Knight, I just like him…a lot.
Miss Pants, I’ve met her in person. She is HOT!!!
Letters From A Broad, American ex-Mormon atheist mom living in France.
Have Fun!!

    I do the same thing with money! And I covet crisp new bills. I have been known to trade dirty wrinkled old money for new.

    I gotta agree with the money thing. Thanks for linking it to me. It was pretty fun!

    I have to ask, how bad does it hurt to cut off taste buds? I hate it when they get inflamed, but man, I don’t think I could cut them off….you are a brave brave woman.

    Thanks!!! I actually tried my hand at a variant of this meme a few months ago — here’s the result. ;)

    I hate hate hate cilantro… it’s the perfect way to fuck up a bood guacamole or home made salsa. Blech…

    Also, i’ve been cursing Goddamnnit!! a lot, and my hubby (ex-Mennonite, not mormon) is just trying it out. But we both love how ‘bad’ it feels, like everytime we still expect to get struck down by lightning, and when we don’t there’s this little inner-giggle. tee hee.

    Also, i don’t think i’ve Ironed anything since the good old Mia Maid days where they were preparing us to be good housewives for our returned missionaries.

    Hi,

    I found you through Fat Doctor’s blog, (so blame her). I’m a lesbian too, (sorry, I don’t have a Swiss Army Knife.) I figure that we (lesbians) should stick together so came over for a visit.

    I organize my bills too, but I put the best $1 bills in a separate spot. I need them to get out of the parking garage at work, and am afraid that the machine won’t take wrinkled bills.

    OMG, that first one makes my nipples hurt. (Don’t ask me why. I guess that would be one of the six quirky things about ME).

    I am not allergic to cilantro, but I think I totally am to ironing.
