Six Quirky and Boring Things
my feet look so much smaller than they are in real life!
I was tagged for this by Mandy at Texas Medical Freak .
“Now I am supposed to list either six boring or quirky things about me. Then pick some other bloggers to continue the circle.” I try to keep any memes that I do on topic, so I will try to find six things that are by some stretch on-topic (some of my own sensory quirks). When I run out of those things, I guess I’ll just be a little off topic - please don’t sue me.
1. I hate to wear outdoor shoes indoors because they make the floors dirty, but I almost always wear socks or slippers around the house.
2. I get very confused and irritable if I have to listen to too many voices at once or too much noise. Good thing my kids are so quiet (*sarcasm)
3. I have been relatively sleep deprived for the past seven years, which is partly due to motherhood, but I never slept that well to begin with.
4. I drink tea almost to the exclusion of everything else. I do have the occasional juice or soda, but not that often. I even take a travel mug of tea on my bike rides instead of water. I should really stop that.
5. I love books and words, and I regularly obsess over the ones I like. I’ve read Harry Potter more time than I can count, and am deeply embroiled in the HP fandom. In my defense, the fandom won’t allow me to leave - it’s not my fault at this point.
6. Windows without curtains or blinds make me paranoid.
Those seem fairly boring to me, but please don’t make fun. My super-strong ears will hear your laughter halfway around the globe, and I’m very sensitive.
I’m tagging some of my favorite bloggers for this: Maddy at Whitterer on Autism (because I know she’ll come up with something fantastic), Angela at Memoirs of a Chaotic Mommy , and Jessie at Speakup: An Adult Autistic Perspective on Growing Up on the Autism Spectrum . Have a blast, ladies.
