Five Weird Habits of Highly Weird PeopleMichael tagged me with this one. It was hard to narrow it down to 5, but here goes:
1. I blog (stole that one from Michael).
2. I prefer Pop-Tarts and any kind of pie cold.
3. The car has to be clean before I can go on a road trip.
4. I hate using the number pad on the computer keyboard.
5. I don't like to go shopping with other people when I have serious shopping to get done. We can go to the store or mall together, but we must separate so I can do my thing.
I'm tagging you five weirdos in the back. Yes, you. Get on with it and let us know you've done it. We'll be waiting.

I am so with you on #3 and #5! I hate shopping without purpose. Get out of my way and let me get what I came here for!
#5 is an essential for me. I don't care if you are my Mother in town from far, far away...if you make me go shopping, leave me alone and let me get it done.
I'm with you on 4. I type great. But when it comes to those numbers, I gotta hunt and peck.
I see not hing weird with any of those things.
However, my opinion of weird is not held in high regard amongst the more well adjusted.
I hear you on everything but the number keypad. Be nice to my friend.
Also, those are some nice tata's in your adbar.
There is no point in my doing this, as we appear to be the same person.
Now go away and let me shop. I'll meet you later for a cold Pop-Tart (I prefer the frosted brown sugar variety . . . mmmmm . . . ).
Just came back to say WHOA! The tata's! Crayonz wasn't joking!
Wow.
I'm so with you on #5!!! Maybe we can go shopping together sometime?
Okay these three have already been taken but I 1) can't stand to have change in my pocket, 2) must clean the car before I leave on a trip and 3) must also clean the HOUSE before I leave on a trip. I can neither stand to travel dirty or return to dirt. Of course, I noticed you change the title to "Five Weird Habits of Highly Weird People" from "Five Weird Habits of Highly Neurotic People" to make us feel better. Does that make me neurotic or just weird?
I just did this one as well. Mine aren't nearly as interesting as yours, though. I am so hopelessly boring.
Cold pop tarts? My, there are issues here, aren't there?
THOSE are weird? Crap I must be weird then because you just described me.
I must clean the house before the babysitter comes.. even though they are mere highschoolers!
I'm the same way, I'd rather shop alone too.
Good lord, we could be twins! ESPECIALLY about the number pad.
Nothing at all strange. I love me some Pop Tarts!
OK, here are mine:
1) The feel and taste of wood (like a popsicle stick) makes my skin crawl.
2) If the toilet paper isn't "top over," I change it.
3) On the first day of every month, I must say the words: "Rabbit, Rabbit" before I say anything else.
4) I cannot converse with anyone immediately after waking up.
5) I often forget how to sign my name.
1. I drive the speed limit (and don't feel a bit sorry for slowing other people down).
2. If given the choice of cooking on a stove or an open fire, the open fire wins.
3. Immediately after learning cursive writing in the 3rd grade, I reverted back to printing, forever thereafter.
4. I am basically a messy person but hate it when others make messes that I have to clean up.
5. Coffee IS a food group (it is also required within minutes of awakening in the morning).
I'm not nearly as weird as my son.
When I'm in a restaurant, or any other eating type place, I MUST sit where I can see the whole place. I can't stand to have my back to the door or anything.
If I'm in a room and there's a clock, it MUST match the actual time. For me, official ChickaBoom time is whatever the Comcast box says.
I hate to answer the phone and usually, I don't. Maybe it's too many recent calls from bill collectors (funny, how they want to be paid) or years of customer service work. I was not always weird this way.
