5 strange things .....

5 Strange things about me.

Ok I was tagged by Leighanne and FatBitch. I'm sure everyone else has been tagged already but if not consider yourself tagged now.

Along with others I had trouble containing my strange things to only 5 but here goes (I also don’t have the 5 strangest things here, I’ve picked an assortment from different levels of strangeness!! LOL):

1. When I eat pretzels or chips I have to eat the broken and smaller pieces first. I leave the big whole ones til last. I always eat them in order of smallest to largest, most broken to least broken etc.

2. I have this “thing” with the number 5. I have to do things in multiples of 5. Examples: putting on deoderant, I will do 5 up and 5 down rolls on each underarm. I’m not as bad as I used to be, but it still happens with some things. I used to count my steps in fives and if I was singing or humming a tune – it would have to have 5 notes each time I sang. It’s really strange I know, but hey blame the girls who tagged me!!! And yes I know that there’s a medical term for people like me but it doesn’t affect my everyday life it’s just one of those “strange” things. Maybe I should take this one out and do a new number 2?????

3. I cannot drink alcohol out of plastic glasses or cups. If I’m going to a BBQ or party where I think there will be plastic cups I always take my own wine glass.

4. Most people put their shoes and socks on like this –
SOCK, SOCK, SHOE, SHOE, TIE THE LACE ,TIE THE LACE
but I do it like this:
SOCK, SHOE, TIE THE LACE, SOCK, SHOE, TIE.THE LACE

5. When I’m sending an email or doing a blog post I have to read and re-read every time I add another paragraph. I’m really anal about spelling and grammar (I am the grammar nazi from hell) and I’m very pedantic about it. Probably no surprises there though!!

There you go, goodbye to all the people who now think i'm a lunatic!!

haha on no. 5 I am your total opposite. I type and if anything obvious stands out I fix but otherwise screw it. I figure everyone knows what I mean.

#4 isn't strange, is it? I thought that's how everyone put their shoes on.

Hey you just love reading my emails then don't you???

TitanThirteen said...

Hey, i put my shoes on like that too :o))

Mel. said...

I also put mine on that way too

OG! Thats so funny! I'm laughing so much. I've not seen this list - not alot of time lately to read alot of blogs. By the way, I do NOT put my shoes on that way. If you have sock, shoe, tie...and the door bell rings it can get quite awkward. But if you have sock, sock on, you can easily still take care of the kettle, the child who fell over or the door bell. Makes sense right?

You sock shoe tie people are a bunch of weirdos!! I love your 5 points Briony :) I'm so jealous of your blogger meet, I'll be in Sydney in November - you should do one then =! (coz the entire world revolves around ME!)

Leighanne said...

You are not a freak...lol
I don't put my shoes on like that either!

a mummy losing it said...

I read and re-read, don't worry, you're not alone :)

And contrary to everyone else I do think the shoe thing is strange - doesn't your other foot get cold?

Mary said...

I have a thing with the number 5 too! For me I think it's got something to do with the five elements - earth, fire, wind, water, spirit LOL.

You take your own glass!? You are classic woman :-)

I put my shoes on like you today!! I like to mix it up.

Oh yeah and I read adn re-read a million times too but for stupid shit. Soemtimes you just gotta let go LOL.

I hope you are enjoying your Friday!

I am weird about the numbers five and two. For example, the volume control on the TV or stereo can only be on a multiple of two or five (eg, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18 or 20). I get really weird if it isn't! And you KNOW I hear you on No. 5. I'll compete with you for the the title of "Grammar Nazi from Hell" if you like.
