six weird things

I have been tagged by Elizabeth McClung in the "6 weird things" game in which I am to post six weird things about myself before tagging six others. (I don't think I have six people to "tag".... but onward with the challenge...)

1. I have mentioned this before - I have an irrational fear of midgets. I know this fear is unkind and that they are simply people who are only different in stature. Despite the logic that is right there for all to see - I seem unable to overcome this terrible affliction. As soon as one pops into view, I break into a sweat and have trouble thinking clearly. This will not change in my lifetime. ( I must also admit that when I see them, I get grossed out at the thought of them having sex with people of normal stature. I am sick. Sick and twisted. I am going to burn in hell.)

2. I used to sneak into a university where I was not enrolled and the professors treated me like a star student...I pretended that I belonged and so... I did. That was cool. But I still don't feel like I am as intelligent as I should be. So I read tonnes of really weird stuff and watch obscure shows to absorb useless information that I will more than likely --- never use.

3. I can squirt milk out of my left tear duct.

4. I have a freckle on my upper lip and one between my toes.

5. Sometimes - I feel like I am invisible.... no shit. And then when someone looks me in the eye - I feel like I have reappeared. (This can take days - but it happens much faster when I start singing that song ;-D They usually look alarmed...)

6. When people make repetitive movements/sounds - such as the tapping of a pencil, the shaking of a leg or the heinous crime of knuckle cracking- I get really REALLY agitated. I have been known to reach out and grab the offensive appendage (belonging to a perfect stranger) and demand that they cease immediately or the fear of death will fall upon them. Well, okay I don't threaten to kill them or make them think I might exactly... I just speak through clenched teeth with a psychotic look in my eye. It has proven effective thus far.

I'm not very interesting really. Sorry folks.

I tag Kat, Earl, Slyde, Cheezy, Fish and BigBadgerDaddio. (come on people - make me feel a wee bit less invisible and give it a go...)

#3 - see, I thought having it come out of my nipples was God's miracle enough - but NO, you have up the ante with the whole - I can dispense milk through my eye thing

elizabeth said...

OOOh. I guess I should have qualified that further.... I would have to drink the milk first. I imagine that I could accomplish this feat with any form of liquid. I can also submerge my head underwater and blow blubble from the same tear duct.

I feel I have said too much...

Cornelius T. Fish said...

You can squirt milk out of your eyes? Why are not in the circus?....Ooooohhhhh yeah...midgets.

Hey I've been tagged...my bum hurts.

Cornelius T. Fish said...

I'm having a lot of trouble commenting here...Hello? Can any one see me? Have Betas been banned?

elizabeth said...

I see you...do you see me????

badgerdaddy said...

Job done.

Cornelius T. Fish said...

Ok!!! We're seeing each other, I think I was just bumping into other commenters. Sorry for the mess.

Anyhoo, I'm a-workin' on my list.

Verdant Earl said...

Um...out of your ear?

Wow...maybe you SHOULD be invisible.

Anonymous said...

I have to crack my knuckles at least ten times a day, or my fingers stop moving.

elizabeth said...

Fish - I think we were just drunk - let's stop the charade...

Badger Daddio - woo hoo! I'm about to pop in and have a boo at that...

Earl - wha??

Joe - I am screaming right now at the thought of it. I would make you leave the room (I bet you do it at night whilst people are trying to sleep too, don't you?)

Cornelius T. Fish said...

elizabeth said...

Sometimes.... I wake up with my fingers all stiff and with the pins/needles thing happenning, so I have to crack them to get the blood flowing again. On the plus side, I'm double jointed, so my fingers can move in ways that normal fingers can't. This can be a GOOD THING. :-)

Kat said...

hmmm. ok. I'll try. But this is like naming my most embarrassing moment. I can never think of anything!

Moxy Ness said...

I have been thinking about midgets all day now! Thanks a lot!
and I have that song in my head and can't get it out!...Mr. Cellophane, Mr. Cellophane...

Stef said...

The whole milk-eye thing sounds crazy. You probably wouldn't want to try that with tequila or something fizzy like beer. That could, er... Hurt!

You used to masquerade as a student at a university you weren't enrolled in? That's really cool, I thought about doing that once but I missed half the lectures I was supposed to go to so the thought of electing to go to more was never really going to work.

Yoga Korunta said...

Nothing weird there!

elizabeth said...

moxy - I hear ya. I had in my head too - worse however, was that I caught myself doing the dance at school... they already thought I was nuts though.

Stef - it actually was pretty cool, the students kept wondering why I never showed up for exams though. (I even formed a study group, LOL)

Yoga - You don't think these are odd? I'm not sure if that's a good think or not! LOL

elizabeth said...

Kat - I'll have a go at your most embarrassing.... but then you might have to kill me... LOL

Deadman said...

"I'm not very interesting really."

I'll bet you are.

elizabeth said...

Mark. I think you are cruel. That's going to be some serious work! But - perhaps I'll do after another couple of rum drinks!

elizabeth said...

I'd say you were pretty interesting by the by...
