I've been tagged by BON over at Bons Time Out. All I have to do is share six non-important things/habits/quirks about myself.
This oughtta be pretty easy for ME.. I’m all about non- importance / habits, and quirks, dontcha think?
1. I’m not sure which category this falls in, but I am a procrastinator from hell. The older I get—the worse I get about it. and the more important the things I put off doing become. I used to be so responsible. Could I be in my second childhood? Sounds good to me.
2. I am a much better writer than a speaker. ( I didn’t say I was grammatically correct) - If I could sit in a room with someone and write notes back and forth.. we could talk for days on end—put me in a room to speak.. and I might last an hour or two. Put me in front of a crowd to speak—I would surely faint—or run away!
3. I would much rather sit in a silent room alone than in a room with noise , like tv, or music or whatever.
4. i am a defensive person.. not only to myself, but to people I care about too. Maybe like “the protector”. I may not win every battle I enter—but I am not afraid to “queen earlene “ the best of ‘em , if I feel I need to.
5. I have a dish washing phobia… it’s getting better since we moved in December—not sure why—but really—washing dishes is almost traumatic for me. :))
6. I have a very real fear of failing. So much so, that it stops me , before I begin .. a lot of things. Mainly writing. Not like blogging. But poetry—my book.. things like that. Things I used to do—things I probably can do—but , I just kinda begin then quit, before I put much effort into it. that includes more than writing. It’s almost a life halting fear—of many things. People, experiences, it has even sort of changed just how much I allow myself to put out here on my blog. Fear of vulnerability??? Perhaps. Dunno.
But there ya have it—my 333 TAG.. how ODD is THAT?
I’ll add a 7th quirk.. I’m very conscious of the number 333—and I don’t even know why. I just see it a lot.
thanks Bon..
now I think I shall tag -- oh hell -- anyone who wants to do it-- just leave a note if you do-- you know ya want to !!!

Dish washing phobia? Is it the bubbles? Or are you just sick and tired of dishes?
I kinda like washing dishes and we don't even use the dishwasher. I am the dishwasher! You should engage me. :-)
summer--- i really think it dates back to my childhood--- well-- let's call it my young home life altogether shall we?
we were a family of four--
mom.. the queen
brother-- the coddled one (because he was epileptic and borderline retarded--- and there was cause for my mom to believe that it was HER fault-- SO.. he never had to do anything)
sis-- she did her share-- most of the time-- but was also four years older than me-- and wasn't home unless totally necessary -- which was as little as she could get away with.
then there was ME. lil ole soul. forced to clean up after everyone-- not only the dishes-- but the laundry-- the everything-- even the queens bedroom !
and if i didn't do it-- or do it right-- it wasn't pretty.
hence the trauma.
i wish it was the bubbles-- that could be fun :))
hoping you have a happy tuesday-
he he, we're playing tag. You comment in my blog while I am commenting in yours. We chase each other around the blogosphere!
it's fun :-)
Hey Soul, thanks for the compliments. I have been reading your blog for sometime already and I'm really glad to see that your life has improved. Yah, now it's to think like a millionaire too!
The author also said something about people wanting to just stay comfortable. Well, he said, "If you comfortable, you're not rich but if you're rich, you're surely comfortable."
True? I think so.
hey blur...
why is the dishes comment the only one that draws attention.. is it that weird to be traumatized by dirty dishes???
LOL
ya know i have paid people good money to wash my dishes--- isn't that BAD??
and that is with or without a dishwasher--
yep-- quirky me. or would that be mental me?
how would i go about engaging you btw? it's an expensive trip out here for you to wash my dishes :))
have a great day--or night-- whatever it may be. ;))
It was 4:40 for me. I wonder why? I tossed and turned, read for a while, tossed and turned, then got up. And here I am.
I have to check over what I wrote in my post. The doctor wasn't concerned because there wasn't any of the red stuff.
I think I'm one of those people who just want to stay comfortable.
yep blur i thought it was funny to be commenting at your place and see you pop up over here...
we have been "talkin" for quite a while eh? that's pretty cool.
and yep comfortable is good-- but occasionally--i get stupid and get out of that comfort zone-- if ya know what i mean. i am my mothers daughter. :((
anyhow--- make that kid stop changin clothes-- or the laundry will nevah stop! :))
oh well crap cheryl-- guess i was blind that early in the morning-- very happy to hear i misread something for once ! :))
i reckon i could go delete my comment .. geesh.
anyhow-- wonder why it seems everyones sleep is messed up lately-- change in the weather maybe?
i don't know. but i can't like it !
and yep-- comfortable is good. i'm ok with comfortable. if i get to payday with cash in hand--i'm good.
happy tuesday--
Hey Soul,
Try drinking soothing camomille tea before you sleep. Add some honey if you like it a little sweet. It helps to soothe the mind to relax and prepare for sleep.
The tag is a good read and let me know more about you. But I am concern about your sleeping habits. A good sleep serves as a good anchor for good health.
WL.. at this point i'll try just about anything !
happy tuesday-
You really need to play the lotto!!
I know what you mean on the speaking up front versus on paper...it's dreadful the choking feeling that washes over you.
HA,..dishwashing is a phobia? Perhaps it'd care to join in with my phobia of taking the laundry out of the basket and placing it in the proper drawers..I.just.cant.do.it.
What is a Queen Earlene? I like that! We call a certain family member out of annoyance, Queen Bee..but perhaps we could change names, mix it up a bit=-do tell!
in the meantime, go get a lotto ticket...33 is my lucky number so perhaps you're busy thinking of me subconsciously. :Sp.
I'm not vain... :O) more insecure then vain. :)
Anyways, happy one day prior to DAHh PMUH.
that's HUMP spelled backwards.
I best lay off the coffee.
Always,
Elizabeth
I love quirky-ness. If you don't have a few quirks well your just down right odd!
Hi Soul....Hope that Tuesday is going well for you. I could REALLY relate to it being easier for me to write than to talk to people often times...I think that is one of the reasons that I really like email and also it is easier for me to get to know blogger buddies than it is to talk to new people. I envy people who are so outgoing and friendly. I was glad you shared a picture of you and your kid she looked alot like I had thought she would. Hope that your sleep is better for us both tonight..I might even take a nap here soon since I did not sleep much and had to get up and ready to leave my place by 10:00 a.m. which for me is early....but I did it.
I decided to play so check out my weird quirks on my blog
Sharing number six for sure explains our sisterhood, soulmate. Ugh. I've never heard of dishwashaphobia. Do they make a drug for that?
I, too, am defensive. Almost violently so. I remember once my son fell outside and some people laughed at him. I almost went ballistic. I'm a little too Mother Bear.
it seems like your dish phobia is the most interesting..... LOL...i hate washing dishes too..it's not quite a phobia yet though... hmmmm... that's my next project...a dishwasher!
get up!!!!
you're giving me heartburn!update hawg!!!
good lord woman-- can't a gal even sleep around here?? LOL
I have never hated the doing the dishes. I have always found it somewhat therapeutic. If I was pissed off at someone (MOM) when I was a kid, give me an SOS pad and a filthy broiler, and I would spend my energy scrubbing the shit out of it until is shone like the sun.
And yes, I am definitely better at expressing myself with the written word, but can definitely work the spoken word, especially if my defensive ass is up in the air :)
Have a great hump day!!
That dishwashing thing is a bit strange...but convenient. ha!
As far as the 333, the more you focus on it, the more you will see it. You should watch "The Number 23". Very interesting.
i always love your memes! and i can relate to a lot of those quirks too.
happy phumyad ! lol
