WHAT A WEIRDZ!




I’ve been making lots of lists lately for the sole reason that I am out of stuff to blog about, and have resorted to documenting everything with my handy-dandy camera.

Anyway, because everyone else has come up with their “What’s Weird About Me” list, here’s mine. Bah.

1. When buying tees, I have the habit of getting one kind/style in different colors and even in different sizes. An example would be my (fake!) green Aeropostale top; I have it in medium and large. Also, in navy blue. I blame this on having all the colors of the basic Giordano tee when I was in grade school.

2. I never learned how to type properly. My fingers are all over the keyboard when I type. I never thought this was weird until my co-worker Joie noticed it. “Ang kulit mo mag-type! Pero ang bilis pa rin!”

3. My brain becomes paralyzed when assaulted with texts written in Filipino. It freezes as my eyes try to make sense out of the words. And then the words become one big blur. I can speak, write, and read in Filipino, of course, but with effort and with great stupidity. I once said: At nawalan siya ng eksena. It doesn’t help that my housemates are stupid, too, when it comes to speaking the language.

4. I like doing the dishes, the laundry, and cleaning the bathroom because I like the smell of soap, and the feel of bubbles on my fingers. If all things fail, I think I can make a career out of being a maid in Italy.

5. My favorite punctuation mark would be the comma, and I abuse it like anything. The comma would be followed by the semi-colon, and then the hyphen. This is weird, because I actually have a favorite punctuation mark.

6. I hardly have any sense of authority. That doesn’t mean I don’t know who my superiors are; it’s just that I socialize with them in a way that I would with my friends (I bonk my direct supervisor on his head with his keyboard wrist supporter whenever he coaches me). Those whom I can’t get chummy with, I avoid like the plague.

7. I pronounce Tuesday as Tee-yous-day. A video! Hosted on Photobucket because Youtube sucks.

I know it looks like I have a gap between my two front teeth. I do have a gap, but it’s not really that noticeable. Now stop making fun of me :( It’s not my fault that my momma was a hillbilly.

8. My favorite part on a man’s body would be his armpits. It’s a deal breaker. Unsnuggly armpits = bye bye.

9. I name every inanimate object, whether they be mine, or someone else’s. This may be somewhat normal, as we name things to stress our ownership. But have you ever met my water pitchers Oscar, Bettita, and Nicanor? And my hnagers whose names all start with the letter ‘P’? I thought so.

10. I’m OC when it comes to how my browsers/windows are arranged. If they’re not in order, I have to close everything and re-launch all my programs.

Bah. I can only name ten and they’re all lame.

Also, this is me pretending to be serious at work. But if you look closely, you’ll see that I’ve just started a game of Free Cell.

>>> lYk, z0Mg! me 2! I don’t take note of the style of clothes I’ve already worn (and I take note because I don’t want to look like I don’t take baths and I wear the same clothes thrice in a week); I take note of the colors that I’ve worn because all my clothes are the same anyway.

So if you really like armpits, how do you feel about armpit hair? Is that part of “snuggly”? Just curious. Oh, and my favorite punctuation mark is probably the m-dash (or two hyphens.) I use it all the time and think it’s just wonderful. See, you’re not so odd!

Hey, I didn’t know —s were called m-dashes. I thought they were just hyphens. Hyphen-squared. So yeah, the m-dash would be my third favorite punctuation mark. :cute:

Armpit hair is all right, as long as it’s…pretty. Heh. I used to play with an ex-lovers’ armpit hair. IT’S NOT A FETISH, IT DIDN’T TURN ME ON. I just liked doing it haha.

We call them em dashes at work.

The — are en dashes, actually and the double en dashes —- are em dashes.

2. I can’t type properly either, but I can type fast. I drag my fingers across the keyboard as I type, which makes people think I am an extra speedy typer.

4. I really hate the feel of soap and cleaning products.

5. My favorite punctuation mark would be the comma as well.

8. I hate hairy armpits, tbh I hate armpits full stop, so I find that kind of weird.

I really like the word Tee-yous-day! I like it! Wooahh!! So you say then,

“Mr. Smith, so you’re leaving for O’hare, Chicago on a TEE-YOUS-DAY 3PM? is that correct?”

Comment by Helga NETHERLANDS
2007-06-27 20:38:42

Well. I say “I see here a flight departing out of O’Hare on Tee-yous-day, July 3, at 1:10pm; getting into Traverse City at 3:14pm. And this is on UA flight 6551. Awesomecakes.”

These three, the comma, the semi colon and the hyphen, are my favorite punctuations too. Hahaha! I haven’t written anything without at least two of them– except this one.

Oops.
