Got me!

Thanks to Chrysalis, I've been tagged again! But since he never asks for anything, I'll oblige and tell you a few weird things about myself. They're not all actual 'habits', but I'm not sure I have that many weird habits.

The rules are like this:
The first player of this game starts with the topic five weird habits of yourself and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals.

Hmm... I had to go look around at other people's blogs to see how they answered because I couldn't think of anything weird that anyone might want to hear about. I found one that sounded like me, so I'll add it first...

1.) I like Skittles. My favorite kind are the sours. Ooohh, my goodness! Yummy! And while it may not be weird to like Skittles, the way I eat them is weird to some. (I read that someone else also ate them this way.) I have to take them out of the package and sort them by color. Just like she did, I eat the my least favorite candies first (the green) and save my favorite for last (the purple). I don't know. Is that weird?

2.) I'm a Kentexian. I was raised in Indiana and Kentucky and have now lived in Texas for more than 12 years. My northern relatives have said that I have a southern drawl, whereas my friends here say I sound like I just left the north! I don't know. It has to be somewhere in between...

3.) Okay, I have this friend named Zenos. Actually I've been calling him Spud because he reminds me of a fat potato. He's a bearded dragon. I interact and talk and play with him so much that he's become a true pet (well, along with my 8 leopard geckos). The thing is, Spud is hibernating right now. I'm lonely without Spud to keep me company at times! (He's been asleep for almost 3 months now!) So I've taken to checking on him frequently and even trying to nudge him awake every now and again.

*poke, poke* Wake up, Spud!!

<--(Looks like Spud.)-->

4.) I won't leave the house without makeup. That's just how I've been for many years. I just won't do it. The thing is, I HATE putting on makeup! The whole process makes me crazy! I mean, I just don't like standing there in front of a mirror for that long. I can easily apply all makeup in about 10 minutes, but I just don't like to do it. I even procrastinate and make it the last thing I have to do before leaving the house. But I still don't go anywhere without it. Strange or what?

5.) I don't know if it's weird or not, but I have the usual fear of heights, water deeper than I can stand in up to my shoulders, and (as much as I like my lizard buddies), I have a fear of and don't like snakes or spiders. And of course, as someone else mentioned, I'm obssessed with checking my e-mail several times a day for fear I'll miss something good!

Hmm... And who do I tag? I don't know since several people I check on regularly have already done this. How about Brandy, Deirdre, Phases, Giggles, and "Just Me". If anyone else wants to do this, go right ahead!! And sorry if I've tagged someone who has already completed this before.

Can I just pretend this is my blog for a moment? :p
1. I've gotten into this habit of saying "hehe" when I"m actually talking to people. Me thinks I talk on instant message toooo much!
2. Which,brings up my second bad habit. Referring to myself in the third person. Me thinks that's weird. ;-)
3. I don't know weird per se, but I do check my cell phone way too often for messages.
4. Promptly at 6am every weekday morning, I get up, shower, moisterize, dry my hair, get dressed, then go back to bed for 10 or 15 minutes. :p Just till my daughter gets up.
5. I'm embaressed to actually admit this one out loud. But, I do spend tooo much time on the internet at home. In fact, I my visit the same sites over and over again throughout the day. So, when you check your stat counters on your blogs, just remember I can't help it! It's an addiction!!

I actually did already complete this quiz not too long ago...I belive it was Michelle at smoochdog.com who tagged me. If you scroll back a few entries you can see my answers. :)

oh, and I forgot to note that similar to your #5 - I also hate heights - My daughter keeps asking to take a family trip downtown to the Sears Tower (I did it many years ago.) I told her that her dad will have to take her. Ugh - WAY too scary!

I'm not too find of snakes or spiders, either!

Don't know how my cat would like 'em (besides ala carte ... or fried)so I doubt if I'll ever have one as a pet, but Gekkos are so cool!

And I'm pretty anal about going outside without make-up, too. So don't feel alone. Guess we're all a little weird, huh? :)
