6 quirks of mine:

1. I am sure people will find this gross; I suck air through my teeth. I always have to see if there is stuff in my teeth so I am just testing the waters. I think I got it from my dad. It is some sick noise that comes out, and it is rather annoying, even to myself; but I cannot stop it.

2. I tuck my feet under things. Most of the time it is Holt and it drives him totally crazy. I think that it is mostly because my feet are cold that I do it... I have always done it though, my mom use to hold my feet all of the time when I was little. I tuck it into the couch, under pillows, I tuck them underneath each other...but I really don't like to wear socks because then my feet really get too hot...and once they are hot I am hot all over...so I will just continue tucking.

3. I watch WAY too much tv...I don't know if that is quirky or not. But I have something to watch pretty much every single day of the week. Holt and I were counting the other day how many shows I watch...it is pretty pathetic.

4. I try to find out meaningless information, like Angie was saying (trivia)...meaningless tidbits about music, musicians, televisions shows, movies and actors. I could tell you WAY too much information about Jason Schwartzman and his family. So, therefore I love being Angie's sister-in-law because we can just sit around and talk trivia...I think it annoys Holt, however I think that it is rubbing off on him...people at school call him the "pop god" because he knows so much about pop culture...HA HA HA HA! That is funny!

5. I quote movie and television lines all of the time...this kind of plays into number 4's quirk, but really I think most of my conversations consist of one quoted line of something. I am definitely not original...and sometimes it makes things hard because when people don't know what you are quoting, they think you are crazy. Most people don't understand me most of the time. Thank goodness I married a man that quotes a lot as well.

6. I cry all of the time!!!! I mean ALL OF THE TIME. Anyone who has watched a television show with me (especially Grey's Anatomy) have seen me cry like a baby. It gets pretty embarrassing, especially when people assume you are crying when you are NOT (like during Tuck Everlasting). There is something in my make up that as soon as I see someone crying, I just start doing it too. The worst is when I am giving a talk in church, I have such ugly cry talk...I hyperventilate and sound ridiculous. Most of the time I cry, my body convulses as well...I just wish that it didn't happen as much as it does...

Are there any other quirks of mine that you've noticed? Sometimes I'm oblivious to them & think it's funny to learn about new ones of mine. Please share!

I TAG: Amanda Bickley, Rebecca Lund, Erin Clark, Cathy Tucker, Brandi Salway.

Good job Lindy! I think you are the first person that I tagged to actually list your quirks. And you listed some good ones (might I add?). I do the whole weird movie quote thing. But then sometimes I say things, and people are like, "what movie is that from?" And it's not from a movie, it's just something I say!

I love your quirks....I share the tv one and the crying one! I cry about everything!

Rebecca said...

I would love to tag you, but how the crap do I do that?

Erin said...

You were so crying during Tuck Everlasting... I'll love you till the day I day... the thing that makes it so sad and powerful is that he'll never DIE!!! Oh Lindy, you were so crying!!! I know I said that, but you felt the same way, I know it!

I don't have any quirks, so what the heck were you thinking tagging me. Weirdy!!
