Six Quick Quirks January 31, 2008
Posted by Jen in : Bits and Pieces , 20 commentsI’ve been tagged. Not by the police, of course; always one step ahead of the law, me. Tagged, in actual fact, by Liz and Sarah and Angie. I know, too many ‘ands’ but it makes me feel more popular than a shorter list with commas.
So. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
-
I had some cold Shepherds Pie for breakfast today. I didn’t have wine with it though.
-
I am too scared to go to coffee shops on my own. I have never done it, ever, even though I really want to. I panic: do I wait for the coffee or do they bring it over? What if I wait and get the coffee and then there’s nowhere to sit? There just seem to be too many things that could go terribly wrong.
-
I am rather rubbish at supermarket shopping. I can only buy what I fancy eating that very day which means the pantry’s always empty except for dog food and out-of-date muesli that I clearly do not fancy very much at all.
-
I never fancy film stars/pop stars/celebrities. This, I believe, is due to two traumatic incidents in my childhood: a) My heartless mother ripping down my beloved David Soul poster when she was in a rage about something or other (but which David Soul was probably not responsible for). b) Discovering that the super-duper Nick Beggs from KajaGooGoo was a Christian and therefore unlikely to want to marry a 13-year-old schoolgirl.

Erm… I am never, ever on time for anything. If I actually leave home before I’m supposed to arrive wherever I’m going, I think I’m doing quite well. I’m not. Obviously.

At primary school, I came last in every sporting event on every single occasion. The only exception to this rule was a running race on Sports Day when I was 10. I was nearly crying with joy to be only second-last until I saw that Sarah Skittrall had fallen down a molehole. I was really glad she was in the hole. I’m still glad.
I’m sure everyone has already done this. I’m, um, a little late with it…
