Stupid Megan Stupid Tagged Me and Took All the People I Would've Tagged. She's Greedy.

Ahem.

Six weird things about me:

1) I HATE folding my clothes once they're clean. My underpants often end up in a wad in my drawer. Strangely enough though, I DO like to refold my clothes when I'm done wearing them (if they're still clean within reason, ofcourse) and put them BACK in the drawer. Go fig.

2) I don't like anything in pop culture if I percieve it to be 'too popular.' (ie, it took me a long time to read the Harry Potter books!)

3) I recently found out that 'it is weird' to announce the number of boyfriends a person has after counting the remaining lit candles on a birthday cake that's been blown out. Apparently, this meaning is regionalized to the upper midwest and El Salvador. (These are the only people I can find to verify this!)

4) Raw chicken frightens me. I am compuslive sanitizer when I cook it. Just short of pouring a bucket of bleach over the counter tops/chopping block/knives/etc.

5) I don't like pie. Or anything with slimey fruit. Bleah. Conversely however, I luuuuuv pie crust.

6) I'd pick a ham sandwich over chocolate any day.

While I think this might be an interesting exercise for some, I've had a tough time coming up with 'weird things'. Per #3, since living in a large house, with many different people, from many different nations, I've learned that weird is a very relative term.

For example, I had a roommate in college that would, before eating, put down a place mat, set the table, pour exactly a 3/4 cup milk, make a plate of food and fold her napkin in a neat setting. I used to think this was weird. (No, not everyone eats out of a trough like I do!)

Of course, I used to think that paying your rent on time was normal - but I guess I've been proven wrong there, too.

So yeah, weird. Sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not.

Depends on who you ask.

I love the word underpants. It makes me giggle.

I love the word "panties", also "moist" just because it makes people cringe. Ah, you crack me up. I would also pick a ham sandwich over chocolate. Folding underpants, not a big fan, but I do like them in the same place. Just a few questions: Hey, do you also fold your underpants when you are done using them? Does it make them seem cleaner that way?

Hooray! Thanks for playing! And I hear you... there are things that really don't seem that 'weird' in comparison to the wide world. I think my cats are weirder than me.

I also don't fold my underpants. It just seems like such a waste - it's not like they need to be non-wrinkled when worn.
