Wierd. This is how I spell the word and I just can’t believe that it’s actually “weird.”
I’ve been tagged TWICE which means not only am I loved but LOVED.
So 6 wierd things about me. I don’t think there is THAT much that is wierd really and I don’t want to make anything up so here goes – I am confident that I will get eleventy comments about how NORMAL I actually am*:
1. I only like fish that doesn’t taste like fish. I can’t stand any seafood that isn’t a fish and like I told my husband when he asked me if I wanted to eat oysters – If I wanted to eat something that tasted like the bottom of the ocean, I’d just go for a swim with a spoon.
All fish should taste like chicken.
2. When I love somebody (husband, children, cats), I want to PUNCH THEM and SQUISH them and SMACK them. It’s completely irrational but it isn’t like I want them hurt.
I just want to smack ‘em.
3. No matter how drab or dreary a book is, I have to finish it. Even if I am close to stabbing my eyes out . Must. Finish. Book. The only exception to this rule (and don’t we have to have exceptions to have rules or something) is Catch 22. I cannot get past the first 3 pages and I’VE TRIED MAYBE A DOZEN TIMES. My brother tells me it’s a great book and very funny so I’ll just have to take his word for it.
4. If I have butter on my bread or toast, every single spot of bread MUST be covered in butter or I will not eat it. If I am having cheese, it must be cut to cover the bread exactly. There must be NO overlapping of cheese either.
5. I once used my MIND POWERS to stop tiny hairs growing on my hands. I am a firm believer in the power of the mind.
It hasn’t helped with my big nose.
Or my monobrow.
I still believe.
6. I sort out adjectives into “good and bad” even when they don’t need to be sorted out into those categories. Big is always good and small is always bad. Happy is of course good and sad is very bad. Flat is good. Bumpy is bad. And so on and so forth. Ask me about any adjective and it has either a good or bad place in my head.
*This is a hint people – you are supposed to comment and tell me I’m normal**
**Or I will kill you
Salamaat,
I don’t know about normal…your sense of humor is in a class of its own!
I can relate to 2 and 3 (although I am getting better at putting bad books down). i have NO patience for 4…5 made me laugh and 6 is classic
Okay here are some adjectives: tall, patterned, dark, hidden, muffled
I used to have to finish a book I began until I read one by Joyce Carol Oates that had been recommended by Oprah (née Orpah). I read that book until the last page still telling myself that it would, must get better, but it didn’t. After that painful experience, I refuse to read anything recommended by Oprah and refuse to suffer through bad writing except my own.
Tasmiya, I have never (NEVER!) encountered someone who said what you just said for Point 1. I’m a big non-seafood eater – and I will ONLY eat fish if it doesn’t taste like fish. I get a lot of weird looks when I say that, but it sounds like YOU know what I mean!
You are my hero.
so normal
and very funny.
okaaaay… I look at you in a very new light now Miss Obsessive Compulsive Cheese Overlapping On Toast.
Btw, Basa Fish Fillets are great because they don’t smell or taste like fish. They kinda take on the flavour of whatever you cook em with. I throw in lots of garlic and lemon and cook em on the BBQ. It’s so good, even my sister loves it (and she’s not seafood’s biggest fan either)
Word.
Not nearly weird enough, keep writing
Maliha – tall =good
patterned = bad
dark = good
hidden = bad
muffled = bad
Aly – you are so my SHOE hero!
Mona – thanks for saying I’m normal. Your life has been spared
Jaaved – Thanks for that – will search for Basa when next I’m in a fish store WHICH WILL BE ON THE FIRST OF NEVEMBER!! ahahaha!
Irving – InshaAllah will keep on writing. My blog posts are enough evidence of my nutcase nature surely?
Apple – I always made a point to remember the Oprah Bookclub books but would always forget by the time I got to a bookstore. Alhamdulillah.
ya, u are soooo normal!
ummm, y is patterned bad?
shaz: Yeah I know
Patterned itself isn’t bad per se..it’s the WORD that’s bad. Big, for example is bad if we’re talking about a tumour but the word “big” is good. You know?
I believe in mind powers too. Half the time, when i am thinking of someone, i will suddenly get a phone call and it’s them! It’s happened so many times to be coincidence?? i’m not psychic by any means, but i do believe our thoughts go out into space and can effect others. That’s why du’a can really help people.
About books, i’m opposite of you, i have trouble finishing a book. I have books everywhere and i read a little from one one day and a little from another book another day… and none of them get finished! it’s annoying.
Mona – that happens with my mum quite a bit, and when she gets that phone call she always sighs and half-jokingly says, “I should have wished for something else!”
