A Quirky little Tag

Well fancy this. I've been tagged. No one ever tagged me when I was little and when I got older, I ran like mad from people who would have tagged me. I've always been a loner; I hung out with the artsy crowd when forced to socialize but generally, preferred to be alone.
I suppose I have changed somewhat. Being a mom, I've been forced to go outside my comfort zone and it's a good thing. Being a mom is what I was meant to be; I love the idea of continuity, of a circle of life that is never ending. Hopefully, he will have wonderful stories to tell his children about their grandma when he is a Dad.
As for the tagging, the deed was committed by none other than the Pop'rs lady we all know and love at Eat Your Veggies!
So, I'm supposed to tell my readers of 6 of my quirky quirks. Moi? Quirks? Well, I'll give it a shot..

1) I am ashamed to say that i edit the crap out of everything. Everything everyone else has written, that is. I don't mean to do it; it just happens. I switched majors in college from Biology to English because of my fondness of the English language. I wanted to be a proofreader for a big city newspaper. Instead, I proofread the internet.

2) I stop, take my hands out of the dishwater, dry my hands and then continue washing dishes. I think this must be some illness and certainly there is a self-help group for people like me.

3) I am cocky but not egocentric. I am insecure but confident. I am shy but a great conversationalist. I am vain but I am not ultra picky about how I look. I am a bag of contradictions.

4) I am an elitist when it comes to PLACES. I do not like any place other than the East Coast. Your trees are different; your towns are not what they oughta be. The PEOPLE in those towns are all just fine. I believe that we are all part of a big family and the commonalities that we all share are strong enough to make us family. But your trees are stupid.

5) I prefer the company of animals to that of people. I would rather cut off an extremity than see an animal suffer.

6) I have a fetish. A logic board fetish. If it has a logic board in it, I will whack it with a rolling pin and pry it open with a butter knife if I have to in order to get at the little gem. At that point, I hoard it in my basement.


So, here are the rules
*Link to the person who tagged you
*Mention the rules on your blog
* Tell your readers 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
* Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking to them
* Leave a comment on the tagged victim 's blog and let her know she's been tagged.

NOW, since I never have played well... and have such great difficulty playing by the rules... I did this..

* Linked to Veggie Mom
* Mentioned the rules here
* Told you 6 things that may very well get me committed
* Tagged only 3 because I don't like these things but I went to etiquette school and therefore am polite.
* Left a comment to the victim in an email. I couldn't figure out where to leave the "tag".

I tagged :

Darcie at Such The Spot
Robyn at Robyn's Online World
Mary at Now Entering Momville

Thanks Veggie Mom! Like my son, you have forced me to go way past my comfort zone and it is a good thing.
