A Hit, a Very Palpable Hit!

Six Weird Things About Me:

1. My inner CD player gets stuck on audible. I can take just about anything someone says and connect it to a song lyric, then start singing that song, often without purposefully trying to do so.


2. While I do not have an eidetic memory, I do tend to memorize phrases from movies or plays and lyrics to songs - even after one hearing. This contributes to #1 above.


3. I can put almost any baby to sleep in five minutes. It's all in the way you move when you rock the baby (and it helps if you can sing soft lullabies). Just call me Aunt Singing Pillow.


4. I walk on my toes. This is something I was never "broken" of as a child, and now it means I have tight hamstrings, but I have an excellent sense of balance.


5. Time is my obsession. Sort of. Of all my friends and acquaintances, I know of only one other person who gets places (meetings, parties, gatherings, whatever) early like I do. I cannot stand to be late, even if being late is fashionable. It drives me crazy when I don't have a watch or clock to check for the time, even when the time doesn't matter.


6. I'm not allergic to anything. While this seems more like a blessing than a "weird thing," consider that I still sneeze on a regular basis, and there is no real reason. I've worked with one of the best allergists in the state and we've yet to find a cause. On a side note, this non-allergy does not apparently prevent me from having a sensitivity to harsh scents, cigarette smoke, and mohair. According to the allergist, those are irritants and could set anyone off.

So, there you have it, my own personal oddities. I'd tag someone else specifically, but since I don't know who may have already done it, I'll leave the door open - if you want to meme-along, go for it!
