Dang. I'm it.

There I was, minding my own dadburn bidness, not making eye contact with anyone in the blogosphere and out of the clear blue (THWAP!) I get tagged. Chrysti is the assailant of this drive-by: List six quirks about yourself. *sigh* What the hay, I really like Chrysti so I'll give it a shot.

Ok, here's the problem -- after staring at the blinking cursor for a full three minutes, I can't think of a single quirk. I am so totally marinated in my own freakishness that it all just seems normal to me. Ok, I'm going to get serious, here goes.

Let's define quirk, shall we? "An abrupt twist or curve; a peculiar trait." (Not sure I like the sound of that, so let's define a synonym of quirk.) "Idiosyncrasy: to mingle, mix (sounds Ok so far, nice and social, good); a peculiarity of constitution or temperament (hmmm, my constitution is normal, it's the preamble that should worry you); an individualizing characteristic or quality (Um, yeah, so is fingerprint a synonym of quirk? I'm just not feelin it.); characteristic peculiarity as of temperament;"(Well that last bit clears it all up, doesn't it? Clear as mud.)

Maybe we should explore words or names that sound like quirk, i.e. Quark.

This is deteriorating quickly.

I think my main obstacle to creating these lists is that they require introspection and serious self-reflection and that would mean I'd have to stop talking so, you see, I'm already at a real disadvantage. For the more astute blog readers, I'm sure you can make your own list based on this post. I will now tag some REALLY quirky people who should have NO trouble making a list, in fact I know I could make Calamity Kim's and Debbi's up for them, but I may have a problem whittling it down to just six. heh heh. Dawn's six? Easy list for her, she has six kids.
