Let me refer you to my response to a game of Blog Tag...

I prefer sleeping in an ice-cold, pitch-black room with flannel sheets and a comforter while wearing 34+rated earplugs and burning incense.

My last GF, a wiccan, loved it, but she dumped me because she thought my theory that magick was simply the macromanifestation of quantum mechanics was just too weird. My carnivorous habits probably didn't help either.

i'm hoping to die sometime in the next year or so in order to fulfill the prophecy.

I am afraid of my belly-button. I am afraid of everyone's belly-buttons. I call it omphalos. That's scary, no? brrr!

posted by carmina 29 January | 00:16

Omphalos, heh.
Can't help smiling at that, and no--belly-buttons are teh cuteness, no?

posted by hadjiboy 29 January | 00:48

Since we're on belly buttons, I used to have one of the scariest I've seen. It would make children cry. But the hernia surgery fixed all that and except for a barely visible scar, my belly button looks pretty much normal now.

I have a very, very good visual memory, yet also possess the ability to get lost anywhere. It's a strange paradox.

I also get very, very cold when I sleep.

The only time I watch television is if I'm traveling on my own and staying in a hotel room with cable. Then I lie in bed with the lights off and change channels every few seconds until I fall asleep.

I am watching a scary movie and my hair just scared me.

I have a piece of pencil lead in my left pinky from when I stabbed myself with a pencil when I was seven.

My pillow scared me last night. I still haven't figured out what exactly happened.

I avoid fresh fruit, I consider it cheating.

I have a squeaky nose.
If I cover a nostril with the back of my finger (or my thumb) and move it backwards and forwards, my nose squeaks. People find it gross, and when I found out it wasn't something everyone could do I was amazed.

Hmmm... sometimes I smell "ghost perfume" - a mystery cologne scent that I don't own and can't identify that doesn't come from someone else in the house, or anyone who's visited the house, and it sometimes occurs when all the windows and doors are closed. I wander around sniffing, trying to figure out where it's coming from, until it disappears, which is usually a couple of minutes later. It has only happened in this house, and never when my husband is here.

sometimes when i am eating a grape, it turns into an owl and i say to it "you are not what you seem" and then strange music begins to play.

I was a background dancer on Soul Train for the entire 1983 season. Don Cornelius was like a father to me--other people said "peace, love, and soul," but he lived it.

posted by mrmoonpie 29 January | 10:28

Crazy, moonpie. I wouldn't have guessed you were old enough in 1983.

I don't think I'm boring, but really can't think of anything at the moment.

I can only eat cereal with a sharp spoon, as in as "pointy" as possible.

posted by Wilder 29 January | 11:32

Prophecy? How is it cheating to eat fresh fruit? Scarey pillows and hair?

I think the strange, funny, unique and quirky thing about me is that I'm not any of those things.

posted by deborah 29 January | 12:43

taz, that would freak me the fuck out.

I can pick up things with my toes.

Mischief, just so you know, I keep my bedroom window open a bit all winter, love my flannel sheets, and also have 33# or 34# rated ear plugs ( so I don't hear my neighbors, the dog scratch, or my husband snore). Are you my long lost twin?

You know this is one of the symptoms of a brain tumor, right?

I can pick things up with my toes, too. But I didn't think that was strange at all.

I never eat icecream or any other desert or any cereal with a desert spoon - I use a teaspoon or, if possible, a parfait spoon. I hate desert spoons.

How pointy does a spoon get?

posted by bigblueroom 29 January | 20:28

I can turn my toes under my feet and walk on the tops of them. I did it so much as a kid that I had big calluses on the tops of my toes. And yes, if need be I can pick something up with them too.

I have a very distinctive last name. One that produces double-takes from bartenders when they check my ID.

I won't reveal it here for privacy reasons, especially since jason is my real first name. But I'll tell you someday when I meet you in person.

Bigblueroom, I was trying to explain this to a friend. All I can say is
this as opposed to
this
