Did I ever tell you...
I was recently tagged with the "6 weird things about me" meme by broominyaya.
I've see it on many of the blogs I read and so I am unsure I will be able to come up with six to tag with it. So let's see what I can come up with.
1. Clean laundry tends to pile up, waiting to be folded. As I don't like to let anybody else fold it. I fold most everything into (almost) perfect squares that fit so nicely into drawers and cupboards. I admit I know that when I then send my children to put their clothes away, they tend to mess up my neat little piles. I just can't sit and watch them fold the clothes to look that way to start with.
2. I do some of my best thinking while sitting playing online games. The mindless repetitiveness somehow frees the rest of my mind to figure out some of the most difficult problems.
3. I have trouble listening to music as I get much of anything else done. I can train myself to do it and Enya "Sheppard Moon" will always be my study music. But when it comes to falling asleep, music doesn't help to ease my racing thoughts. I turn on talk radio when I need to go to sleep. Not so much that it is boring, I really do like some talk radio, but that it uses a different part of my mind. It allows me to stop thinking about everything else for enough time to fall asleep.
4. When I am anxious or stressed about anything, or everything as the case often is, my hands constantly roll into fists. Not tight, I'm going to hit you fists, just loosely closed. Even as I lay in bed, (I like to my hands above my head) they will close into fists. I don't have to be thinking about the problems. It is like my body remembers there is stress, even as I try my hardest to avoid thinking about any of it.
5. There are a couple of topics I have had to learn that most people do not find as interesting as I do. If I'm not careful and the topics of dentistry or linguistics come up, I can go ON and ON and ON. I have a devotion and passion for each topic in little bit different ways. Most people don't want to hear about my enjoyment working in a dental office (and honestly I don't want to hear their dental horror stories). I seriously considered in the past, going into linguistics. It is amazing how language works and how different languages are related etc. It is a topic most people don't know much about, and so cannot share my passion. Knowing when to stop when I get going can be really tough. (hmm..nobody can look at me strange if I pour the all the passion in to a blog post. Muhhahahaha!)
6. If my husband is driving somewhere that I often drive and he decides to take a different route than I ALWAYS go. I jump and ask him where he is going (of course worried that he forgot what we were doing....). I, having driven the route many many times know the quickest way and easiest way to avoid all the traffic lights. It is hard on me when he drives there the 'Wrong' way.
If you are reading this and have not been tagged...consider yourself tagged. This means you (Jensen Five). I have really enjoyed getting to know other's idiosyncrasies. Makes me feel a bit less lonely sitting here in my own uniqueness.

Gosh, you're not really weird at all!!
Oh yes she is! *snicker*
I never drive the wrong way...
I hate letting my husband drive!
I never know whether he's forgotten or lost. He'll never admit to either.
Ha, your hubby is cracking me up.
My laundry also sits there, but more because I am too lazy to do it than any other reason.
Greetings. I followed you here from A/C's Blog. I too am a Phoenix resident.
I could have written #6, about husbands driving the "Wrong Way" myself. How funny!
I've got a little confession to make. I, too, occasionally play a few games on yahoo. I'll play the same ones for awhile and then switch. I like some of their puzzle games, but the one I've been playing lately is Chicken Invaders (I am such a child). It's actually pretty funny - you're shooting these "space chickens" that try to lay eggs on you. A ridiculous premis, but once I start playing, it's a little hard to stop! =0)
I can definitely relate to the laundry thing! That is me to a tee!
