The Quirky Tag

Ahhh! Finally over. What? My part of the scrutiny as a member of the scrutinizing team of Avant Garde Bloggies Awards. It was wonderful being a part of it as I came across some very good blogs and increased my feed subscription. Meanwhile Manoj and Sharad tagged me to write my six quirks. Hmm.. Dictionary.com says -

Quirk ~ noun

A peculiarity of action, behavior or personality; mannerism.

So here are the six quirks of yours truly:-

1. Whenever I see any cat anywhere, I start meowing and try to call it towards me. It doesn’t matter if anyone is staring at me.

2. I don’t like odd numbers except the multiples of 5. Maybe the effect of being a Gemini. :)

3. I don’t like any ladle or serving spoon kept in any bowl on table to point towards me. When I reach out to rotate such a ladle, people think I’m asking for more of that dish. :D I try to resist doing it when I’m at someone else’s place.

4. When I go to watch a movie with someone, I like to sit on the left of the person with whom I’ve gone. If its a group then to the left of person I’m most closest to and can talk with more freely.

5. When having ice-cream in a cup I like to melt it a little bit first and then eat. :)

6. I don’t like sharing food. I make exceptions to this quirk only for very special people.

Speaking of quirks, I found one funny site of quirks as cartoons. Check it out here.

I tag Deeps, Sandeep, Soham, Apar and Swathi.

    Am I first ?

    Reema: This reminds me of your recent cartoon about comments :P :P

  2. 2008 October 20

    Yeah, I was.

    Do you call all other animals with their respective voices or is it just the cats ?

    Reema: Its just the cats as I love cats.

    Thanks for tagging me .. I will certainly do it ..

    But please give me some time .. Work at the office has been pretty hectic and crazy .. Even not able to write my blog .. But I promise, I will do it .. !!

    Reema: Yes yes take your time!

    If I have to comment like how Anshul does in his latest cartoon, then “I am first of all animals that call with their respective voices”. Nice quirkiness you have. I sometimes eat the cone icecream by putting a hole in the bottom and sucking through it. It is fun!

    Reema: How do u stop the ice cream from falling out at the open end? :-o

    I have been wondering what to write for this tag, because I thought my quirks were normal! :D But after reading your 1), which I also have, I wonder if all those things which I think are quite normal, actually so! :) Anyway, by saturday I should be able to come up with something.

    Reema: You also do that??? wow!! :D We are very normal, I tell you.

  6. 2008 October 21

    Reema: Hehehe I know!

  7. 2008 October 21

    Interesting. But I can assure you that you are normal. :)

    Reema: Thanks!! :)

  8. 2008 October 21

    Hee…heee… :)

    why would you like to sit on the left of a person?? i mean why, why, why??? :P :P

    Reema: Makes it easier for me to talk and share comments :)

  9. 2008 October 21

    Reema: Same pinch! :)

  10. 2008 October 21

    Joey doesn’t share food too… bhai-behen? Haha.. Kidding..

    Wow, this one is like me.. I too don’t like odd numbers with exception of multiples of 5 and numbers 7 & 21. I did not star sign has got to do anything with that.. is it? I am Aquarian though..

    Reema: :) Oh I mentioned the Gemini factor cuz Gemini is a sign of duality or the twos.

  12. 2008 October 21

    Even i wait for my ice-cream to melt a lil. One reason i don’t go for cone ice creams. :)

    Reema: Thank god I’m not alone! :)

  13. 2008 October 21

    Reema: :D

  16. 2008 October 21

    1. Hollywood is trying to find a perfect cast for the new Batman movie for the role of Cat woman. Wanna try ;) ????

    2. Same here. I dont like any of the odd numbers, but my lucky number, according to astrologers, is supposed to be 7 !!!

    3. Guess you dont like anyone pointing fingers at you too!!!

    4. You talk when you watch a movie???? You and me are never going for a movie together !!! :D

    5. Melted ice cream is equal to a milkshake. you should probably try that ;)

    6. At last, something in common :D

    Guess what, I have been tagged too. and so dont worry, you could come with your revenge too in the comments section !!!

    Reema: Will u be the Joker? Then surely. :P I have no problems with finger pointing. Its only the ladles and spoons. Shit!! There goes my movie date with you. Don’t worry I will keep quiet. :) Wait for me to claw at your comment space. :P

  17. 2008 October 21

    Reema: Ahh I dont think all my quirks are due to my sun sign! :)

  18. 2008 October 21

    Seems like a Dr Dolittle in the making! :)
    And when I go to watch a movie, I hate to talk. I just sit like a statue till the movie is over. :)

    Reema: Hehehe :) Oh so no movie date with you. :P

  19. 2008 October 21

  20. 2008 October 21

    When I go to watch a movie with someone, I like to sit on the left of the person with whom I’ve gone. If its a group then to the left of person I’m most closest to and can talk with more freely.

    Reema: :lol:

  21. 2008 October 22
