Carrie (blog's gone private) tagged me to tell six strange things about myself. However, there is nothing strange about me. There are kateish things that the rest of the world hasn't managed to figure out yet; but I don't think I should be labelled strange just because the world can't keep up. I prefer, unique. Since I'm clearly not strange, I'll share those uniquities. (Like antiquities but from the root "unique".) ;>
1. All my pets have been named for Shakespearian characters.
2. I like standardized tests, diagramming sentences, and correctly using semi-colons.
3. When I'm sleep-deprived my eyes turn from blue-grey to bright green and my pupils contract dramatically.
4. I whistle in instead of out.
5. I have to have the toe seam on my socks straight and all cupboards closed. (There's a whole OC subcategory here, but let's leave it at that.)
6. I've never dreamed that I was flying or that I showed up somewhere naked.
See? Not strange at all. Of course, that's just the tip of the kateish iceberg...
Okay, you unappreciated weirdos out there--tell us six strange or uniquitous (like ubiquitous but from the root "unique") things about you.

Ok, yes #2 is strange! LOL I find nothing odd with whistling in and I've never had that naked dream either.
Come on. I don't believe #6. haha
Let's see.
1. One of my pupils are slightly larger than the other and I don't have a brain tumor.
2. Well that is all I can think of right now, but it was a good one wasn't it?
And what's up with your agency?
Oh, and I also know the proper use of a semi-colon! ;-) LOL
I wish I had some unique things about me I could list, but I'm pretty boring. The only things I can think of are my hair color (red), everyone says that they wish they could bottle my color. It's funny because as a child I hated my hair, I was always teased about it, but now it's probably the only thing that makes me unique. That and the fact that I have extra bones in my mouth called tori, pretty gross huh? You can't see them unless I lift up my tongue. I've heard they're pretty common but I've yet to meet someone else with them-not that I ask everyone I meet.=)

Well, Kate, I name my animals after Greco-Romans or Greek gods...and I whistle both in and out, used to eat bowls of sauerkraut as a kid, never had a naked dream and do not shop in stores or eat at restaurants that misuse an apostraphe...for example, a real estate agent near my job advertises "condo's" and at a fair I spotted a sign that read "deep-fried oreo's" Pisses me off...
jene, are you sure you don't have a tumor? ;>
penny, extra mouth bones? def strange.
ann marie, I boycott for incorrect grammar, too! Have you read Eats, Shoots and Leaves?
votemom, #1 and #2 on your list are sooo not strange! Not sure about 3-5... Eager to hear your daughter's take.
"When I'm sleep-deprived my eyes turn from blue-grey to bright green and my pupils contract dramatically. " ME TOO! only I start with grey-green and end up with kelly green.
My unique things:
#1 I fell in love at first sight with my blind date and married him within the year.
#2 We were married in the same house that my mom and dad were married in; this is the same home in which she was raised and still lives.
(Do note the correct use of semi-colon in above sentence.)
#3 I've flown around the world.
#4 I've written a novel.
#5 I had my appendix out the day before moving day thereby completely avoiding all of the work.
#6 My husband saved my father's life.
#7 I have ten pets, only 7 in the house.
#8 I use ketchup and peanut butter to discipline my children.
I'm working on a list. I'll have to ask my kids and let you know!
Love, Nif
