tagged - twice
TAGGED - TWICE
Not one to be rude, I'm finally responding. Daydreamer tagged me for this one - well over a week ago now. I'm sorry for being so late, sweetie!
Anyway, she wanted to know five wierd habits about me. I've thought about these for a while and am well aware that they make me sound like a complete nutter desperately in need of behavioural therapy *laughs*.
1. I cannot bear the feeling of food underneath my fingernails. If I'm prepping raw meat for dinner, I handle it with forks - can't even think about touching it in case it gets under my nails. I'd have to scrub for a week if it did. The same applies to anything 'damp' - fruit, veg, making pastry - nope nope nope - just don't get it under my nails!!!!
2. I have a similar problem with getting food on my face. I can't eat an apple without cutting it up because I can't bear it if the apple touches the skin around my mouth. Peaches, oranges, pears are a complete no-no because they're just too juicy and I can't deal with it running on my face. Same with sandwiches. I have to eat around them rather than through them to minimise the risk of it touching my face.
3. I'm a complusive straightener. Throws, duvets, towels, piles of DVDs, CDs - all have to be straight. I used to spend pretty much all day straightening the throws on our old couch. In fact I would refuse to sit on it because it would mean I would have to straighten the throws afterwards. Problem solved now though, we have a leather couch and a big throw that flings nicely over the back and even better - it stays straight. Thankfully I've overcome the need to alphabetise my CD collection - that was a pain in the proverbial!
4. I don't drink anything other than hot water. No tea. No coffee. Maybe I have the occasional hot chocolate, and last week I decided to try and drink green tea. Can't do it. It's not that I don't like other drinks - I do - but I like hot water more. It is guaranteed to get me plenty of strange looks when I go to out for coffee with friends and order hot water.
5. I have to smell new flip-flops. Have to. I love the summer months because our local supermarket has a whole aisle dedicated to plastic flip-flops and I adore the smell. It's nothing to do with the flip-flops - its that delicious smelling combination of plastic and rubber. I get as high as a kite.
Okay, I think that has confirmed my place as a complete and utter lunatic now.
This is the bit where I should tag people, isn't it? I've never done this before.....kind of nervous....
I am going to tag people simply because I was so pleased to be tagged in the first place - I felt so loved! So I'm passing on that love and tagging the following.....
~S~ - Well now that was obvious wasn't it? Do you have any wierd habits I don't know about, baby??
Fish - Are you a 'tag' type of person? I suspect not but what the hell, I'm tagging you anyway simply because you're a fellow Brit.
Cycle Guy - I've not seen you tagged yet - maybe I just missed it or maybe you too avoid these things. Tough. *laughs*
Rose - Just because I can, sweetie xx
Southern Belle - Because she tagged me too! And because I don't think she did this one yet.....
So there you have it. I'm working on the other tag thing and will probably post it tomorrow - I need four willing volunteers to be tagged for that one - any takers? If you missed out today and really want to be tagged then let me know and I will happily do you. Otherwise I'll be tapping my fingers and looking around the room in my best school-teacher way....
That's all for today - off to sniff a flip-flop now.....

Haha, okay, my answers are up in my latest blog entry!
Thanks for playing along!
Ooops, nevermind. Haven't done this one yet.
mmm, you're absolutely right, I'm not really a taggy sort of person, but I will....in a bit?
I can't compete with yours though, I thought they were supposed to be "weird" things about you? Sniffing flip-flops isn't weird at all young lady..
...it's positively bizarre.
Fish, it's not about the flip-flops, it's about the smell of plastic and rubber! Honestly! Beach toys, paddling pools and things are just as good but not quite as accessible as an aisle of flip-flops...
I smell washcloths after laudering. If they don't smell fresh enough I wash them again. Something about washing my face with a cloth that doesn't smell enough like detergent freaks me out. So, perhaps your flip-flop smelling isn't quite so weird. Hmm.
I suspect everyone has their foibles and they sure do make for some interesting reading! I'd loved to have done this one.
well why didn't you say so...of course that makes it all better!
So the rubber and plastic gimp mask is your idea of olfactory nirvana?
Now just stop twisting things, fish!!!!
I get the rubber smell. Im the same with vicks vapour rub!..lol
well you are weird! thats why we love ya
I've wondered about the hot water. Interesting. :)
It's not that weird. I can't drink without covering my top teeth with my lip.
And you can tag me, if you want...
PS Please check out EOTOS. Feeling a bit vulnerable...
o'kaaaaay! very strange! and I want a tag *sniff*
All quite acceptable and normal, even the flip flops :)
*backing away*
So THAT's your excuse for the rubber is it? *grin*
I found this absolutely fascinating! Thanks for sharing it..and no, please don't tag me...please..

You British are really strange!! Smelling flip-flops... really!
:)
yep, nuts.
When i was little I used to love the smell of petrol. When i was about 14 I realised because it got me high. I have to hold myself back from sniffing it now, i love the smell though.
Maybe I should stop telling people that.
Oh DF... What am I to do with you?
I don't mind being tagged for this one because I've already done it. See my post of Dec 19, 2005.
Just wait. I'll get you, my pretty!
LOL
I hate food...and dirt...under my nails. Ick!
Speaking of smelling flip-flops... I'd pay big money for the opportunity to smell a pair of your slightly-new-but-worn flip-flops. The strong smell of rubber mixed with your foot sweat would be most intoxicating. But it's safe to say that anything that has to do with your sexy feet would be intoxicating. Your feet are simply the best.
You didn't happen to keep your cast, did you?

I just skimmed these... trying to catch up w/you.
But, food under the fingernails... ewwwwww! Can't stand that either. LOL
This list just cracked me up.
HOT WATER?! That's it? Wow. I can honestly say I've never heard of that one before. /boggle. LOL
