I've been tagged by Lynn to list seven quirky things about myself. At first I thought, "no way, I'm too busy" and then ha-ha found myself needing to procrastinate cleaning the house for our Thanksgiving house guests so I thought this was an important obligation to fulfill.First Quirky thing: I'm a slovenly housekeeper and don't count dust as a bad thing. I tell myself that my housekeeping helps keep my immune system strong.
#2 - I'm a long term sticker kind of a person. I keep in touch with friends I grew up with. My longest friendship is with a woman who was a Brownie with me when we were both 8 years old. We were room mates in college and after college. I visited her in Arizona in August.
#3 - I have always thought of myself as an artist until about 3 years ago. That's when I discovered that every other person on earth is an artist too and that the word is really meaningless. Now I just think of myself as me.
#4 - I sleep more than most people. Last night I slept for 11 hours. I love my dreams and do amazing things in them that I cannot do when awake. Once I dreamed I danced with Picasso and I was wearing a black sheath with an open back. Picasso told me I was ravishing. I can always fly in my dreams. When I want to go somewhere I usually fly there.
#5 - I have always dressed in weird clothes when I was trying not to. I have no fashion sense.
#6 - I dont like for people to see my body so I dress modestly. I would like to wear a burka but only if I felt like it. Once in college I wore a raincoat to school buttoned up over the slip that I slept in. I like tent shaped clothes.
#7 - I dislike shopping and find brightly lit stores repellent. I avoid them and spend most of my money online or buying directly from people I like. I like Goodwill.
Whew! People that was hard. And now you know all my shameful secrets!! I tag YOU if you want to play.
edit: on May 11th I wrote out 7 other quirky things about myself and only (sort of) repeated one. Maybe this is a good exercise to do a couple times a year.

oh judy you have made me giggle. a burka! a burka! what am i going to do with you? i can just see you in your raincoat over your nightie. hee, hee. i did that in college, too. i just pulled some clothes right over my jammies. on saturday i put my apron on over what i had slept in (a tank top and boxer shorts) and was still wearing that late in the day. i almost walked out to get the mail in it because i had that long art apron on. ha. not so good if turned around! ha, ha. i just ready that mary ann will be sending you a stenciled birthday burka. not me, i'm sending you a bikini! screw that burka! lol!
I can relate to all of those things Judy, I met my best friend when I arrived out here from England, I was 9 and we've been best friends ever since.
I also dress for me not fashion, I occasionally come back into fashion in life's ever turning circle, especially when gypsy/hippy fashion is in.

oh i love knowing these things. you make me so darn happy judy!
oh poo, i just wrote this long comment and it got eaten by the internet gods.

You don't sound quirky to me at all. Just normal like me! LOL
Thanks for playing, you are a good sport!
I do find your dream life fascinating!
Meetcha at goodwill!
Thanks for saying everyone is an artist.
I comepletely agree. Especially with #1. For the first time in my life, I'm trying to find my own fashion. I'm tired of "people" (read media) telling me what I should wear. I've been saying everyone is creative, is that the same as saying everyone is an artist? I think so.
Procrastination is my middle name! I applaud you for being brave enough to reveal your quirks to the internet public! Our quirks just prove us to be human. One woman's quirks are another woman's normal.
I just found your blog comment on the Cloth Paper Scissors website. Wow, you are truly a kindred spirt. I agreed with every word that you wrote about blogging, creating and writing. Thank you so much for writing that piece...you made my day. Karen
What fantastic quirks you have :) I also have burka days when, if I have to go out, I would be most happy in a burka. I have a pyjama quirk which is to always wear a nightie with pyjama bottoms instead of a pyjama top. Until you try it you can't imagine how amazing it is. I would happily wear this combination all the time if I thought I could get away with it!
