Six Weird Things

// May 14th, 2006 // No Comments » // Just Stuff

I saw this meme at someone’s site while surfing, so I thought I’d sit here and try to think of six weird things about me.

1. If I buy a magazine or one comes in the mail, no one else can look at it. I have to open it first. If I don’t look through it right away, too bad. Still no one else can look at it until I’m done with it.
2. I have to get clean in the right order, otherwise I will forget to wash something, e.g., if I don’t brush my teeth first, I won’t remember to brush my teeth afterwards. You’re saying, “how can you not tell you haven’t brushed your teeth?” – maybe subconsciously I can, but I’ll think I’ve done it already.

   Same goes with washing my hair. If I jump into the shower, and somehow change the order of washing, I may just wet my hair and forget to wash it.

3. If something’s wrinkled up, I’ll have to unwrinkle it. I used to keep a quilt over my couch, and my son would sit on it and it would get all wrinkly. Whenever he’d get up for a drink or the washroom, or anything, I’d be straightening out the quilt. Same with pillows. When the pillowcases would get wrinkly, I’d be right in there straightening and plumping.
4. If I eat bologna, I have to leave the edging on it, so I eat it in a circular kind of way that leaves the edge. I’ll then eat that edge last.
5. My shoes and purses have to match each other. Even if they’re the slightest bit off in colour, I feel like the centre of attention.
6. All my CDs and DVDs are alphabetized. If someone gets them out of order, I have to look through them all to make sure I put them back into alphabetical order.

There are probably more things that are weird about me but the list said 6, so I’ve done 6. They’re not so weird, are they?

Happy Mother’s Day

It’s cloudy and on the verge of raining here in the big TO.

We were going to head down to Steam Whistle Brewery again to check out DKPG Photogroup exhibit as part of the Contact Toronto Photography Festival. Then I realized it was Mother’s Day, so I guess we’re going to see my mother instead of going to look at a photo exhibit.

You too can look at some of Sean’s photos here.

Polar Bear and Me

While we were downtown on Sunday, I took a liking to this little fella, and I think he took a liking to me.

All I wanted was a big bear hug, and I got one.

It’s funny the things you find in tourist shops. Perfect for taking a picture with.

If you check my flickr account, you can also see pictures of my daughter with a moose, and let us not forget the fake CN Tower where you can pretend that you’re taller than it.
