Tagged!

Jennifer at Idle Rambling Thoughts dropped in to tag me. The current meme doing the rounds asks you to list 5 weird habits. Do I have 5 weird habits? Can I stop at 5?

1. Before I open the microphone on the radio I pretty much always have a quick ‘clear my throat’ kind of cough whether I need it or not.

2. I always pack my pockets the same way. If my wallet is in my left pants pocket it’s as good as lost.

3. The very first thing I do every morning is check my computer to see if any email has come in overnight.

4. At work I must drink coffee from my own coffee mug. I feel really awkward if my mug goes missing and I have to drink my coffee out of another mug.

5. My mind regularly re-writes the lyrics of many of the songs I hear in a sort of ‘Weird Al’ kind of way. I don’t do it on purpose, it just happens. I know what the real lyrics are but my substituted lyrics are generally far more entertaining.

How weird are you? I’ll ask for volunteers to tag themselves. What are your 5 weird habits? Let me know in the comments if you’re willing to give it a go. (Although Jennifer did say that I should tag my sister Margaret, so that gives us the first victim …. er …. participant.)

  • Funny. I just logged into your blog while I was listen to you on Sonshine. Right when you were playing what I like to call “I’ve still got rocks in my head” by Dido. Then I read your weird habits and had a LOL moment. 🙂

  • I love the idea of being tagged but I can’t think of any weird habits. Maybe they are so habitual for me that I consider them normal???? 🙂

  • You’re not that weird, Rodney.

    I’ve taken to the email in the morning thing as well. Unfortunately, I don’t really have any international friends, so my inbox is usually empty. 🙁

    I’m struggling to think of any weird habits I have – I’m sure my wife could suggest a few though!
