Idiosyncrasy link up

Idiosyncrasy-from Ancient Greek ἰδιοσυγκρασία, idiosynkrasía, "a peculiar temperament", "habit of body" is defined as an individualizing quality or characteristic of a person or group, and is often used to express eccentricity or peculiarity.



Cool word, eh? Everyone has em'- you know, idiosyncrasy's (goal is to make you say that word in your head so much that it's all you think about.) Here are some of mine, which more than likely are way more weird than yours. I'm at peace with it:


1. I cannot STAND toe hair.

2. I have a fear of going to the bathroom in public. Seriously nothing worse than being in a stall next to someone else and it being totally quiet. You know you hate that too...

3. I physically do not think I am capable of properly shaving my knees. This is a problem and obviously a talent that I am not graced with. That being said, if you see me and look straight at my knees I will kick yours.

4. When I ask a question I always seem to forget to listen when the person answers. So please don't be offended when I ask you the same question twice.
5. I bite my nails like crazy. Remember when Cooper bet me that I couldn't stop but if I did for a month I got a shopping spree? He wants to take those clothes back to the store...it's a problem.

6. I never seem to put the cap back on bottled drinks. I don't know if I just forget or what but after that diet DP spilled all over Coopers side of the bed the other day I am on high alert and considering a 12-step program.

7. I love school and I miss my brain being challenged everyday. That being said, I am reacquainting myself with the history channel soon and cannot wait.

8. I really like the stick after I eat the sucker. Call me gross, I don't care

9. Math is one of my strongest subjects but if you ask me to do it in my head I need at least 5 minutes

10. Up until about a year ago, I almost always swallowed my gum

....As if I wasn't already cool enough and then I go and post this...my mom would be so proud!



Now, what are your idosyncracys? I am hosting a link up today that will be up for the next week- so tell us, what makes you unique?- create your own post and link up below!

LOL! Glad I found your blog because I think it is so funny you hate toe hair. Me toooo girl. And to be honest, I really don't like arm hair much either.

I still swallow my gum ;-) AND I like the stick on a sucker even if it's gone ;-)

Courtney B said...

Stale marshmallow's are way better than a stick after the sucker is gone...JUST sayin'....
I hate toe hair too... wax is my best friend :) And I hate when my toe nails aren't painted! Ah!
AND I definitely have stage fright in public restrooms. Sometime's I'll turn the faucet water on just to have something making noise..hahaha!

vintch said...

love this! you are such a fabulously funny and sweet person:) i cannot shave my ANKLES for the LIFE OF ME! maybe knees and ankles should just stay permanently fuzzy:) and the public bathroom thing? i have that problem at work--there is one lady who insists on sitting directly in the stall beside you, even if there are a million empty stalls. it creeps me out:(

The Sweet Life said...

Haha...I love this. I cannot shave my knees either. I think I do such a good job, and then when I get out of the shower I see fuzzies. So annoying.

TexaGermaNadian said...

I love this idea!! I wish I had known about it before I posted today. When are you doing it again next, would love to join!
And you are too funny. My hubs hates the toe hair thing too. Ya'll are weird, lol, just kidding

Heather said...

I'm also terrible at shaving knees!

My weird trait is that I hate velvet. I cannot touch it.

Mike + Lindsay said...

MJ {The Honeypie Archives} said...

agreed.
toe hair= no bueno.

Nicole said...

I'm going to have to copy your #4. Except, in my case, when I ask someone a question and they begin to answer, I forget what I asked them. So when they're finished talking I always say, "Wait, what did I ask you?"

I don't think anyone looks cute in a fedora.

Just so you know.

Ashley said...

YEEEHAW! I knew we were soulmates. I swallow every single piece of gum that enters my mouth. I've done it for as long as I've been chewing gum. It's weird, but oh well.

Michelle said...

What a fun meme! I can't shave my knees either. It's hard business. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your sweet words!! I'm going to follow you now b/c I looooove your blog!

Alexa Mae said...

LOL!! You are so funny. If I ever meet you, I am totally looking at your knees.

Sincerely, Jill said...

Too funny, I particularly enjoyed 3, 8, 9 (me, too!), and 10! Visiting from Mingle Monday... happy to have found your blog.

Laura said...

What a fun post! I am visiting from Mingle Monday. I, also, can not shave my knees. And I am going to tell my sister I found someone else with the same problem. And I may enforce your "you look at my knee I will kick yours" policy.

Anonymous said...

First of all, LOVE the fedora. You look adorable!!!!
2nd...Isn't it wonderful that everybody is entitled to THEIR OWN opinion?
