On the rare ocassion I drink coffee, I like it to be instant, decaf, Nescafe.
I think cold, leftover pizza is one of the most delicious foods in the morning.
I can quote, word for word, lines from books or movies I saw years before, but can never remember the price of a gallon of gas.
I have a love affair with twitter and consider it one of the most delicious forms of community building, even when it is the reason I was peer pressured into agreeing to try “liver mush” next time I’m in the South.
OK, your turn. Subscribers, wanna click over here and play along?

I do not like chocolate, and I’m a woman. Exception–brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but the brownies cannot have fudge on them.
I do not like shopping, and I’m a woman.
Is liver mush the same as liverwurst? Because if it is, I loved liverwurst as a child.
I took Calculus in college, and I didn’t need it for my major. I wanted to prove that I could do it (and I got my first and only ‘C’).
Calc – for fun? You *are* weird.
And I hadn’t thought about liver wurst – I do like that! Hmmmmm.
I took Biology in college for fun. I got a B (almost a C) and I never went to class. If I had actually gone to class, I would have had a high A!
I can easily present a technical paper or presentation but walking into a PTA meeting or Sephora gives me an anixety attack.
I don’t mind disposing of bugs, crittes, etc…but cannot stand handling nail files or sandpaper (its a texture thing)
Sephora scares me to. And Express. I never feel “cool” enough to shop at either place. But, I have the same reaction to Home Depot. Go figure!
Now that I’m pregnant, here are few weird (perhaps normal) things about me:
I used to love coffee but now I can only drink the instant. The smell of the real stuff is gross.
I love salad. But I like eating it one ingredient at a time. I’ll eat an entire cucumber and then have an urge for a tomato. I haven’t eaten plain lettuce yet but it does sound tasty. Oh and bell peppers. Perhaps it is the perfect fruit.
When I first married I was so afraid of cooking that I had to make a menu for the entire month(think school cafeteria) to basically “tell me what to make”. Now I love cooking and still do a menu monthly almost without fail.
Oo those are great. Especially the picky salad eating. That’s too funny!
I live in Ukraine, speak Russian, but everyone thinks I am American.
I took a seminary degree Old Hebrew class before freshman year in university because I was bored at home. The problem now is that because the teacher was from the States and taught in English without translation, now when I need to translate something from Old Hebrew to Russian I have to translate it into English first…
I am 24, but most of my friends are 35+. I get along best with kids who are over 10 years younger than me or adults who are 10+ older than me.
I knew there was a reason I liked you so much. Must be our 10 year age gap, eh?
hahaha, must be!
I’m seriously the same way. Sometimes it bothers me. I never get along best with the people of my same age. Go figure.
I like to eat maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal right out of the bag with a spoon.
I hated ice cream as a child. When we would go to Baskin Robbins I would only get a plain cone. The workers always gave me pitiful looks.
I HATE raw tomatoes, but I can eat them cooked any way at all.
Why are mine all food related?
That’s what I always wonder about my tweets…..
I love brewing my own pro-biotic beverages – Kefir, Kombucha, you name it, if it’s cultured I’ll try it!
I will give up sleep to exercise, because it gives me more energy than snoozing!
I believe you can learn to like anything, and am constantly working to teach that to my kids. Even in the liver department…
I like facebook better than twitter – easier to keep up with, IMHO!
Oh my, we must be living on different planets. I will give up anything for sleep; I dream of getting my kids to try anything but usually fail, and twitter is my BFF.
Good thing we have blogging and a sense of humor in common
Pssst……secure your address ‘cus a little bird told me Livermush woman…aka Carol is trying to find a way to ship it through the mail.
I am skered cus tow of them livermush women are going to be at She Speaks and “claim” (I hope that is all it is) they are bringing me some. If I am “forced ” to try it and live through it….I will let you know how it is…….pray for me!
)
{Hold me!}
Hmm, there just isn’t enough room to share my weirdness, but here it is goes(the Cliff Notes version):
1. Most evenings I smell like garlic, red pepper, and olive oil because I was cooking…thank God, my husband loves me smelling like pepperoni.
2. I love cold pizza ANY time especially with extra garlic–I will never have issues with vampires.
3. My quest in life is to find the perfect bobble-head dog.
4. I try to avoid reading people’s tweets around dinner time because I get really hungry reading what everyone is having for dinner.
Whereas I am bummed that the new Dominos crust has what seems to be a lot of garlic in it (to me).
I also think cold pizza is the best, any time of day!
I’m in total agreement on the cold pizza! Yum!
I also really like cottage cheese with a little mustard and black pepper mixed in!
Love to eat little tomatoes right off the plant—warmed by the sun!!
I hate applesauce but love to eat livermush and pickled eggs.
I’m fascinated with water…lakes, swimming pools, full bathtubs, drinkable types, seas, and I get giddy just typing the word…W.A.T.E.R.
I collect newspapers from all the state capitals. I have to go there to get them, and I’m still missing about half.
Oh the newspaper collecting thing – love that! I have newspapers collected from historic events – but not capitals. Nice one.
And liver much and pickled eggs? Um, yea, I have no words…
i eat ice-cream with a fork and rice with a spoon
i prefer sno-maggeddon to heatopolis
the smell of my doggies makes me want to bury my face in their sweet furry heads, but the smell of body odor makes me want to ralph
heatopolis hahah
I am definitely a heatopolis girl. I would happily be the mayor of heatopolis. Our bedroom air conditioner has been broken for two years now and I don’t mind a bit! Must be the South African in me. Never grew up with AC, never got used to it. Love me those hot summer nights!
YOU ARE SO SOUTH AFRICAN!
thats all I can say….you nescafe freaks!
I can sing along word for word to every contemporary Christian artist of the 90s, yet forget their names, or the title of the song…
I think the best coffee is cafa bustolo. Thick, cuban espresso.
I just had vetkoek for dinner, my favorite south african supper, and i am unashamed to say it!!
I am all alone and laughing so hard I wish I had someone to share it with! Yup, Nescafe it is baby. The king of instant coffees! Now if only I had some vetkoek to go with it!!
- I too dislike chocolate. I’ll eat it occasionally, but in general the smell and taste disgust me. Give me salty/savory snacks any day, especially sunflower seeds.
- I usually remember to put things in my calendar, but I rarely remember to check it.
- I think of certain numbers as being related to one another. 3, 6, and 9 are in a family. So are 0, 2, 5, and 8. Numbers are generally in more than one family. I memorize numbers (phone numbers, addresses, etc.) by figuring out their relationships to one another.
- My brain is highly suggestible. Just the word “livermush” is grossing me out right now.
Ugh – the calendar thing – me too!!
I love mayonnaise on grilled cheese sandwiches
I drink decaf coffee 99% of the time
I don’t like cold pizza or pizza for breakfast
I love eating pumpkin pie or pecan pie (my mom’s recipe) warmed with whipped cream for breakfast.
I like to catch toads and lizards and look at bugs close up
I refuse to tweeze my eyebrows (too painful) or dye my gray (too much trouble)
I find studying maps entertaining
I LOVE being snowed in
Oh I love maps so very very much too!!
Oh, I LOVE cold pizza! Especially for breakfast!
I hate to eat hotdogs and doughnuts.
I love to paint (as in paint walls in houses). I love it so much that I get envious when I hear someone else say they’re painting.
I cannot paint anything without getting the paint on my clothes. Even small items.
I love the smell of coffee but hate the taste of it. Same with wine and most beer.
I need at least 10 hours of sleep every night. I rarely get it, but that’s the ideal amount for me.
I’m not afraid of heights, but I’m terrified of ladders. I can only go up two or maybe three rungs before I start hyperventilating.
My hubby is a missions guy and drinks ALOT of Nescafe, especially when he’s in Africa!
I love spicy foods and always have. So much so that my parents had to restrict my spicy condiments the way that most parents restrict sugar.
I read really fast, like a 300 pg book in only a few hours. The only problem is I can’t remember the books I’ve read. I have re-started books, realizing at the third chapter that I’ve read them before.
I don’t understand Twitter. I’m pretty sure that it’s the thing that I will look back on and say, “That’s when I knew I was an old person.” I’m glad you love it, though! Community is awesome, wherever it happens.
Funny thing is, as much as I love twitter, I really can’t get the hang of facebook. Go figure, eh!
I love coffee, but don’t have one set way I drink it. Some days call for milk, or sugar, or ice, or all three… and some days I just drink it straight up.
I love email and Facebook but don’t text or Twitter (yes, that makes me feel old).
I hate checking messages but rarely answer the phone.
My family is my life, but I dream of a night alone in a luxury hotel, with high thread count sheets, room darkening shades, and a late, late check out.
That last one. Ditto!
I probably haven’t been to the bathroom alone in seven years.
I could eat an entire bag of salt and vinegar chips by myself. And not feel badly about it.
I love cute skirts and wear them even when my day’s plan consists of reorganizing closets or hanging out with my children at home all day.
I have kept a month by month list of every book I have read for the past 14 years.
I do not like chatting on the telephone.
No way. NO WAY!! Every book for 14 years?! Unbelievable! Cool and curious. Why?
I don’t know why.
I like lists.
I like progress.
And accomplishing things.
I really don’t know.
You know?
You are funny. I like lists too. But not related to my non-essentials. Like reading. Which might be essential to the soul, but is not essential like, say, working through all the laundry.
You know?
