Quirky? Me?

[kyburg]

You have no idea.

Honestly - I got tagged for the 5 weird quirks meme, and I have fifteen minutes to do it in. Heartsent called Wednesday, informed me that their director is going to be in town Friday and would we come in for our personal interview? You want me to come in - gee, let me think a moment about this....

Their offices are in converted Pasadena bungalows - go ahead. Throw me in the briar patch. Gwan.

Five quirks, huh?

1. Go ahead. Put a fried egg in front of me. I will neatly slice the white from yolk, eat the white first, and pop the entire yolk into my mouth, unbroken. I'm anal like that.

2. I am incredibly motion sensitive. I get rabidly seasick without medication, and I don't have a waterbed today because I get disoriented sleeping on them. Like, terrified disoriented. After two tries at this, I gave up sleeping on waterbeds. Loop coasters? The universe laughs at you. No. I really don't like heights and speed at the same time under the best circumstances - no, this little chickie-boo ain't gonna be an astronaut.

3. I have no phobias for anything living. That includes spiders, snakes, worms, rodentia...whatever. Freeway overpasses? Uh, do I really have to go that way?

4. I read faster than anyone I know. Test me.

5. Jim's here. Gotta go. Don't want to be late.

That's cool!
I read faster than anyone I know too. I've been known to frighten people :-)

I do a similar dissection of eggs, except I use the yolk as a dipping sauce for my bacon and sausage. If there is no meat to dip into it I am likely to do as you do -- pop it whole, unbroken, into my mouth.

Much luck.

If I'd known you were going to be in Pasadena, though, I might have suggested meeting somewhere for dinner or something after you were done with the meeting.

I break up fried eggs and add grits... or do it the other way 'round, just take a bowl of grits and drop two eggs in straight out of the pan... and then clean up the resulting mess with a half-slice of toast.

Hon, you have GOT to explain this one to me.

Originated some years ago by miriams_well and now a standard practice among CAWfolk, the No Fish spell gets you what you ask for - and always, always, fish are involved in it somewhere. It may be that you get taken to a first-rate seafood restaurant the first night you land, or that your kid will appear wearing a t-shirt with a fish on it, but fish *will* be involved.

CAW. You got me again.
