I am quirky because:

Well? What gives? What makes thee quirky, if thou art so?

My quirks include liking to line up my food. For instance, I like to line my peas up in rows deep and wide, like a little green army. My dad just noticed that when I took some of the fries he offered me, I set them up in a pattern.

I have tons more, but I'd like to hear about other people's. I LOVE BEING QUIRKY!

One of the many is that I refuse to use the Luna theme, or the "new" start menu. I must use the classic view.

Well...I like to mush my mashed potatoes around with a fork so that they look like a checkerboard...if that's weird.

And people just say I'm weird because I have this little way of talking that makes people laugh. Ha ha.

If I told you all my quirks you'd lock me up in Hillingdale Haven for good.

Uh... I don't like germs so I'm very careful to wash my hands frequently. I have also been known to go days without showering.

Hopes that someone finds the above funny...

Heh, that sounds familiar. We had mashed potatoes as part of our dinner yesterday... as soon as my brother, Jared, received his potatoes, he immediately started flattening it when his fork. In the end, his mashed potatoes turned into a huge potato pancake.

Quirks? I don't have any...

I'm a clean freak when it comes to eating. When I was younger, I would wipe my mouth on a napkin after every bite (regardless of the meal).

Never to sing the American National Anthem...

EDIT: That should be, Never to sing any National Anthem except England's.

Hmmm...I am quirky???? Right now I can't really think of anything I do that's unusual, but maybe to others I would be wierd.

I like to carefully eat the cake off of the icing and then eat all the frosting at the end. Is that quirky?? I'll have to think about it some more, and try to come up with something.

if I eat soup I must have it with a chinese spoon. also to make it easyer to onload the dishwasher I put all the cutleryin seperate groups. like all the little spoons togethere in one pocket and all the Big spoons in a another pocket and so on with the big and the little knifes and forks. so when you onload the dishwasher you dont have to sort your way through and find the knifes when there all mixed with the forks and spoons. yuo can just grab all the knifes and plop em where they need to go. and so on!

I constantly sing "O Tannenbaum" like an opera singer and come up with new tunes and words for it.

I love crossword puzzles! I try the Washington Post's every day (excluding Sunday because those are waaaaay too hard) and have even authored some of my own.

I am very very quirky! People always think I'm weird when I talk online. Especially online, I should say, since it happens a lot in real life too. In fact, someone told me that twice today on IM. And once in real life today.

I have a lot of quirks but I can't think of them right now.

Of course I have quirks! When I eat froot loops, or any other colorful cereal or candy, I eat just enough so that there is an equal amount of each color left over. Then I eat one of each color, starting with my least favorite color, and ending with my favorite color. I repeat this until they're all gone.

No way! Same here! That makes perfect logical sense to me! But my family won't do it!

My other quirks include:

-Sorting my skittles, M & Ms, and other colored candy into rows of color and eating which ever color has the most until all the colors are even. Then I eat one of each to keep it even until the end.

-When I come to my table setting when it's time to eat, I straighten the silverware, my napkin, my plate, and my glass so it's at 2:00. Then I can eat.

-I usually make my bed RIGHT before I go to sleep at night.

I do, too. But that's because I rarely make my bed after waking up.

My qirks usually involve needing a complete MATCHING set of books. When I eat peanut M&M's I eat the ends of the chocolate and then eat the peanuts.

Oooh, I forgot to add that I need my instant message windows in the exact same spots on the screen every time I chat.

I am overly symmetrical. Everything must be symmetrical!!! What is that hat doing on the far right of the desk!? AAAH!! *Grabs and flings across the room*

Laura Ingalls · Post by **Laura Ingalls** » Sun Jun 19, 2005 3:32 pm

Oh yes, I eat M&M's like that too! They have to be even, and then I'll eat my least favorite colors first and save my favorite til last.

Another thing I like to do is make sure the egg carton is balanced. If there's an egg in the upper left, there has to be one in the lower right. I hate it when there's an uneven amount of eggs!!
