6 Random Things about me...

Comment Published at 18:2818:2812 comments12 comments24 Visits24 VisitsReport

I have been tagged by MrMintyMan

Here are the rules for this tag.

  1. Link to the person that tagged you.
  2. Post the rules on your blog.
  3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
  4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
  5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

Are you ready? I know you just can't wait to know 6 random quirky things about me.

1. I know kung fu.  Well not kung fu, but I studied American Kenpo Karate for a couple of years.  I was supposed to test for my brown belt until Izzy had Matthew and all time slowed to a stop.  I also studied Traditional Tae Kwon Do and a little bit of jujitsu and Escrima.  BTW before you ask, yes Izzy studied Kenpo too, and yes I have the pics of the abuse, though I do wish I had a picture when she gave me a bloody nose.

2. I am completely incapable of keeping my car clean.  I think at this point it is genetic.  Give me less than one week and you can't see the floor.  Of course Izzy says this is not limited to the car, but has slowly over time migrated to my office, the garage and if she didn't put a stop to it the bedroom as well.

3. It can take me less than one minute to frustrate someone to the point of pulling their hair out, screaming, or resorting to physical violence.  Its a gift, but I have learned to abuse, I mean use it wisely.  BTW, my record for irritating Izzy is on the order of 30 secs, but I am proud that my son can do it in half the time.  He is definitely daddy's little boy.

4. I can read a 400 page book in less than 3 hours.  I have read many of my favorite books around 30-50 times.

5. I am great at directions.  I know the exact locations of all exits and bathrooms in any store, mall, or building even if it is the first time I am entering.  I am a long time sufferer of IBS so knowing bathroom locations is VERY important.  The directions part came from growing up in North Carolina in the US, where roads will go N, S, E, and W without taking a u-turn or going back the way you came.

6. I will spontaneously start up or continue a conversation with the same person that was interrupted or carried on anywhere from 2 days to 2 months ago.  This actually really confuses people at first when I do it.  To be honest, I usually am unaware I am doing it.  It really frustrated Izzy when we first got married, now she is used to it, or she just ignores me when she doesn't have a clue what I am talking about, which can be frequent.

Ok, now I tag angbob, julielf, cheleinkal, mummycristlyn, katiepiatt, and michellei.  You don't have to do anything with this, but it would be fun.

Hi Libby. I wouldn't say he has a great memory. He just has great memory for continuing conversations from days ago. With other things, his memory is not as good.  I get a blank look if I ask him where he put something that he was holding a day or two ago. LOL

However, I can remember in detail conversations that we have had especially if I was actually paying attention.  And by detail I remember not only verbatum, but tone inflection and delivery attitude...

Great 6 things about you.  I love to read but not as fast a you do.  I don't have the time anymore. 

Wow the conversation thing would just confuse the hell out of me LOL

Kung Fu is good do you use it for self defence??

I tend to confuse people a lot wit the conversation thing.  And for the most part I do not realise I am doing it, until I see the looks of absolute confusion.

I studied Kenpo because I enjoy it not for the sole purpose of learning self defense.

I always have a clue! I'm just trying to ignore you anyway. It's easier that way.
