My First Meme

I've been memed. The details:

“THE RULES: Each player of this game starts with the ‘6 weird things about you.’ People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says ‘you are tagged’ in their comments and tell them to read your blog.”

Only 6? Little does this person know that when asked to share one quirky thing about myself, the speaker said, "Well, YOU are a quirk." So here goes:

1. I don't buy trash bags. I cannot stand the thought of spending money on something for the sole purpose of throwing it way. I reuse shopping bags for trash. And of course recycle anything I can.

2. I have never seen "Finding Nemo" or "The Lion King." I don't think this is strange, but everyone who finds out about this looks at me crosseyed.

3. I was born and raised 40 miles north of Boston, MA, but 95% of the time I do not sound like it. I refer to this as a birth defect. In the extremes of my emotions, when I'm really tired, or when I'm around others of like accent it comes out.

4. I alphabetize my spices. I do go back and forth in my head as to whether or not I should divide them into "sweet" and "savory"...

5. I've never had the chicken pox.

6. I didn't eat meatloaf until I was 18, grits until I was 25, and my first corndog was consumed at age 26.

And the list could go on...
