Well that's just weird

Chris from Life Cycle tagged me a few days back. It’s now my task to list six weird things about myself.

1. I didn’t ride a bike when I was a kid. I only learned to ride when I was 16.

2. My music collection contains everything from Bing Crosby to Killing Heidi.

3. 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.

4. I often wander around with bare feet at work.

5. While I’m scared of heights I just love flying.

6. I feel more comfortable standing up on stage to speak to 10 000 people than I do walking into a room of 10 people.

What are some weird things about you? Either post some details on your own blog or have your say in the comments section of this post.

  • 1. I was either pregnant or nursing for 10 years.
    2. I have had a pumpkin pie thrown in my face.
    3. I am a third generation San Franciscan (a rare breed)
    4. I once broke my toe when I dropped frozen beans on it (not deliberately)
    5. I met Judy Garland in 1960 and had cocktails with Carol Channing in 2001.
    6. I hate snakes, but once held one–and he peed on me.

  • 1)I feel a lot more comfortable sitting in an announcing studio behind a microphone talking to someone rather than infront of a crowd.

    2)I have double joints in my thumb,ankles,and shoulders which means I can twist and turn like a rubberman(it’s a great party trick)

    3)when I was a kid I once swallowed a peeweee marble. Thankfully it didn’t get stuck inside me

    4)I like tomato sauce tomato relish,
    tomato paste etc but I don’t particulary like the fruit itself

  • Very interesting! I rode a bike when I was a kid, but haven’t in over 15 yrs. Last year I tried and broke my ankle. 🙁

    Re: Bev’s #1 above — WOW!!!

  • I can related to your number 3 & 6 Rodney. Some songs just cry out to be re-written in a Weird Al kind of way! I also prefer bigger crowds to smaller ones when speaking.
