I'm Tagged

Ning of Heart and Hearth tagged me to share 6 QUIRKY THINGS I DO... Hmmm... first, what is quirky?... Well, Mr. Dictionary To Go of my PDA said that being quirky is to be way-out, offbeat, kinky, far-out...oh my... Horror of horrors!!! I wonder if you guys will still stick around after reading them... I guess I'll soon find out...

1. I always do things by the last minute, well... ALMOST always... as I said in my first post, I procrastinate a lot... and I mean A LOT... but when I get started, I don't stop... does that make it up? :)

2. I sleep very late... but it's soooo hard for me to wake up in the morning... in fact, Hubby is the one who always wake me up... guess that makes me a night owl huh...

3. I locked myself in the bathroom every night for at least an hour...my bathroom is my refuge... this is my "quiet" place... this is where I restore my sanity, where I think, where I get my ideas, where I read my Bible and commune with my God...

4. My closet is a war zone... it's a big mess out there... I tend to pile things up... for me, I prefer spending my time relaxing (if I can...) than clean my closet... Hubby gets frustrated with this problem of mine... he's the organized one... am I lucky or what? :) ...

5. I get to be soooo irritable and frustrated when I tutor my kids and they don't concentrate... ah... I know... this I have to change... they deserve better than that...

6. I'm quite sentimental... I collect, collect, and collect, seldom do I throw my things away, and if I do, it takes a lot of effort to do so...would you believe that I still have those little notes you pass around the class when you were still in primary, middle, and high school?... Yup... that's how I am... my erasers when I was still in middle school, the first Swatch watch that my dad gave me, the first Barbi Doll, Sanrio collectibles, some cute hankies from Disneyland Japan that my brothers gave me when I was 14 I think... and a lot, lot more... all there... upstairs, stored in the attic...

Whew!!! That wasn't so hard... I think... :) It was actually fun, it made me think who I really am and what I need to change... and as Ning also said, it's a great way for us to know more about each other...

Some tagging rules:

1. Link back to the person who tagged you - that's me.
2. Mention the rules on your blog.
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag 6 bloggers by linking them.

ha! ha! ha! I am also a night owl. I sleep late (as in after midnight?) But I have to wake up early to prepare kids for school. With the help of alarm clock :) When the kids go to school, I sleep again! Maybe that is why I am looking very healthy :)

Oh Mikky! It really is so fun to learn about others' quirks, I always enjoy reading those tags. As for me...I think I'll keep it mysterious... no, maybe I'll do it on my family blog. I'll let you know!

Those quirky things are kind of fun. I think alot of us have the same type of things in common, and thats nice... because it shows we're all more 'normal' right?

Thanks for stopping by my site. I look forward to your future adventures :)

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my place and leaving me a comment. I'm so glad to know your site and read your 6 quirky things :) They are so funny. I found myself in yours :) I wish I could go through all your old posts.

Lore said...

Lol, it was nice to know you better! I can't believe you still have your middle school erasers :D

I match you for 5 out of 6 things. Even though I don't have kids I do find myself getting frustrated when trying to help someone and yes it is a hard hard hard habit to break. I have to tell my friends to point out when I am doing it so I can notice the patterns.

I laughed about your children not concentrating.....it made me think of Bart Simpson singing: I've stopped all my fidgeting, I've takin' my Ritalin.....
