I got this idea from Jen Hatmaker's blog.
Everyone has quirks. Even those of us who think we're just "normal" and everyone else around us is weird! Haha!
So here are my top 5 Quirks and I hope you'll join in! If you end up blogging about it, link back to me in the comments section so we can go read yours as well!
1. I don't like being in the same room with a "complainer". Negative speech irritates me. I realize sometimes I'm the complainer and at such times, I wish I could get away from myself! I love being around positive people. Surrounding myself with humans who are able to see the cup half-full totally makes me feel all sunshiny inside!
2. I twirl my hair when I'm tired. A lot. If I'm on less than 5 hours of sleep, I've been known to "double twirl", using both hands. I know it's weird. I agree 110%. And yet I can't stop myself. I will even sit on my hands when I'm around people just so I won't freak them out, but somehow, my hands develop great strength and have a mind of their own...they find a way to come out from under my legs and they start twirling my hair!
3. I have a hard time making eye-contact with men my age. I don't want them to get the wrong idea about me. I know that sounds retarded. I'm the ONLY person I know who struggles with this. I'll glance over at friends' husbands from time to time during a conversation, just so they don't think I'm weird. But I'm the first to admit it, I'm weird! :)
4. I get extremely frustrated when I'm writing a blog post, or sending an email and my entire family all of a sudden needs me to open a can of green beans or tell them how long the chicken nuggets have to cook in the oven. I mean, SERIOUSLY, can't you see I'm "talking" on my blog or "talking" on this email? Quit being so rude & interrupting me!
HA! I know...I know! I'm so weird!
5. I'm drawn to needy/broken people. I want to mend their booboos or take them to the One who can mend their broken lives. If you're a female who has totally screwed up, I WANT to be your friend! Along these same lines, I love to be around homeless people. I love smiling at them to let them know not all of humanity thinks they are worthless. Sadly, this shouldn't make me "weird", but I know it does!
Okay, those are my top 5.
Your turn! :)

None of that makes you "weird"! I love how genuine you are! I also love the hair twirling thing you do! I do it when I'm thinking!! I love you Mary Morrow and nothing about your precious human being is "weird".

Ok this isn't even weird, it's just plain ridiculous BUT I don't like it when you're listening to a song and the first 2:30 are sung by one person and in the last 30 seconds of the song all of the sudden a back up singer or choir just pops in for the last chorus. It's like where we're you this whole time?!
I agree, I don't think these things make you "weird", just part of who you are.
AND... I know exactly what you mean about #3. I am THE SAME WAY, only my deal is with men my age or older. I dunno what it is. I just have never been able to look men in the eyes. (even my dad, it just weirds me out) Ernie was THE ONLY guy I could look in the the eyes and the only guy I could ever really be good friends with.
I may have to do a blog about this. I'll let ya know.
Awww, thanks sweet Bozo!!! I love u!
Thanks for the feedback girls! Ya'll crack me up! If ya'll have time, go read Jen Hatmaker's blog. Some of those ppl's comments were HILARIOUS!!!
KB, I'm so relieved to hear the "men's eyes" thing isn't my quirk alone! I have never known anyone else to have that! It's weird because I can look at their faces all day long while I'm editing, but in person, no sir! LOL!!!
