That wicked Cancun Canuck has tagged me to do the meme “7 weird or random things about me.” I’m turning this one on its head and directing it at you…I trust that you, my loyal readers and loving family/friends, can tell me 7 weird or random things about myself. In fact, it might even be EASIER for you to come up with ways in which I am weird. Leave your suggestions as a comment, then I’ll post a blog that will either confirm, deny, or explain the things you say about me.
Yikes, what am I setting myself up for here??
This is just off the top of my head….and without much thought. I believe I am more “weird” than you, so, who am I to say… but here goes…
1. Infectious laugh.
You are going to find that these are really just random compliments to you.
2. Unusually good at ‘Irish jigs’
3. Could not reside in a place with no pretzels and no sour cream.
4. Has an absolute amazing ability to entertain and make children fall in love with her. (actually, adults too.) (such a shame you won’t procreate!)
5. Ability to remember just about every little memory you ever made with her.
6. Likes McDonalds french fries dipped in Hot Mustard sauce.
7. (Above are not so much weird, but this one…..this one is quite weird)
My Heather doesn’t realize how beautiful she is, inside and out. We all see it. We all know it. We all love her.

Look at you! Coming up with 7 things…just want everyone to know that you don’t have to say 7 things, you can just say 1…or 2.
Amy, I almost never eat pretzels here. And now I eat crema. And I no longer eat the McDonald’s fries with hot mustard, though I sure would love it once in a while if they had it here.
The Irish jig thing is TOTALLY true.

Heather, I’m afraid I don’t know any weird things about you at all. So far I really like all the things about you that I know. Not saying they aren’t there, I just have no first hand knowledge of them. Give me time though, I think we’ve only met twice. I however have a multitude of weird or random things going on you can decide which are weird, and which merely random.
1. I can’t wear socks on carpeting.
2. I can’t eat anything within an hour of going to bed and be able to sleep.
3. I hate paying bills and frequently put it off until the day after they are due, yet oddly, I have a really good credit rating.
4. I hate being the center of attention.
5. My inner sarcastic twit comes out when I first meet people…am I testing them or what?
6. I dislike useless confrontation and avoid it like the plague. Makes it tough hanging out on forums some days.
7. I have a pottery studio where my garage used to be, a jewelry shop where my porch used to be, a knitting factory where my family room used to be, and a three acre garden. Apparently I thought I would be able to manufacture time at will. I was wrong on that.
That’s 7, I’m sure there are more, but why scare your innocent readers.

Tramposa! LOL
I wish I knew more about you so I could contribute, but let’s leave it at “Heather doesn’t follow instructions, she prefers to make up her own rules”.
And I like that about you. You’re all cool and shit.

Jan: Wow, you ARE weird.
Kelly: Tramposa?! Uh, oh, you’re on to me.

You are wicked strong when it comes to defending your friends. Fierce, in fact.

Caroline: That’s not weird, though maybe it’s random. I have the best friends in the world, defending them comes naturally!
You must have been there the night I was halfway over the bar at Tequila Barrel, intending to rip off the head of that jerkstore who insulted Sara, huh?

Mmmm. This is so tempting! All I can say is that if you were not totally weird to begin with, I probably wouldn’t love you like I do!

Oh! I know something weird. You turn all your commenters into quilt patterns! What’s up with that!

Amazingly good at balancing a spoon on your nose in any restaurant……

I’m not sure if it’s weird or random, but the girl is addicted to celebrity rags. I mean lot of us sometimes *look* at People and Us and the others, but Heather sucks them down with a vengeance!

You can eat a taco with out spilling at all.
You LOVE orange and leaves
You weirdly labeled your shoe boxes at one point to say things like “really painful but worth it” to know which was which
Uh that’s all I can think of right now after working all day

I don’t know that much about you, cuz I’ve never hung out with you… and hanging out is when all the weirdies are revealed… I do remember that we both share the same dislike for milk served in plastic cups… and you went one step further and won’t drink milk except your own… akin to my “no public chili” life rule….

Wayne: I wish I could claim the quilt pattern thing, but that’s all WordPress. You’re too kind to keep to yourself the things about me you think are weird.
Momma: I sure CAN hang a spoon off my nose, can’t I?
Susie: They are like crack to me…cheap, instantly gratifying, and ultimately unsatisfying. First one’s free.
Teetle: Oh, honey, yours made me laugh, but made me tear up, too. I miss living with you. And I TOTALLY forgot about the shoe-box labeling. What a fun time that was, having all those shoes.
Char: Oh yes, the milk thing. But CHILI?! You’re really freaking weird. My chili is DELICIOUS, here, TRY IT!

Me? Eat your chili?
YOU–DRINK MY MILK!!

There’s nothing weird or strange about you. Quirky and endearing… sure.

Ok, having really only spent a couple of days with you, and being completely brain dead from a full day in Playa, dealing with Iron guys to fix part of our tow hitch, I can only come up with one.
You will stop in the middle of a street to write, some weird comment someone says in your presence ……. Taxi’s, Golf Carts, motor scooters BE DAMNED!
See you soon? I hope!!
By: Mimi on May 26, 2008

Yeah I miss living with you too.
Mimi-don’t know you but thanx for reminding me about her writing in the middle of a street or store
A couple more I thought of…you always make way too much food for parties for fear that there won’t be enough.
You usually forget about something that you made until the end. The most memorable being when you forgot the cranberry sauce one thanksgiving and after everyone had been done eating for awhile and you remembered, you went around to everyone insisting that they have some.

I got nuthin! Guess that mean I’m going to have to spend more time with you!!

okay I have a little tid bit….
When you get really excited to tell a story you get your saliva glands really going and have just this little extra in your mouth when you really get going….but I remember it as “cute spit” if possible….
By: Cassie on May 28, 2008

Cassie, that’s not because I’m excited. I have a slight lisp that sometimes makes me spit when I talk. I took speech therapy for a few years, but it didn’t really work. How embarrassing.

Here’s one:
You once told me that you had to wear pantiliners all the time because “honey, I am a woman everyday.”
By: Stef on May 28, 2008
at 3:37 pm
Oy, vey, Stef. The things you remember about me.
Now you’re lucky if you get me to wear PANTIES every day.
By: heatherinparadise on May 28, 2008

You only ever did that when you were excited telling me something really juicy and I thought it was so cute…. I can see you perfectly sometimes …I wish only my brain was good enough to think what something exciting you were telling me was….
