I was tagged a while back by David to list "five weird habits." It's taken a while to respond because I've been much more interested in reading blogs than blogging lately, but here goes:
1. I've never met a word I can't mispronounce. This is particularly unfortunate if you are a four year old trying to learn how to speak the English language. The exception to this rule: the word "meme." I have no idea how it's supposed to be pronounced, so I can't deliberately mispronounce it.
2. Despite an utter and complete lack of interest in fashion, I compulsively collect Converse All-Stars. I currently have 20 active pairs. I can't begin to count how many pairs I've gone through in the last twenty years.
3. Despite an utter and complete lack of musical skill, I am a walking jukebox. There is nothing you can say that I can't turn into a song. Try me. The exception: most French or Latin phrases.
4. This is more annoying than weird: I keep forgetting whether I've asked you (by which I really mean Christie) whether I've asked a question or not. And if I have, I surely don't remember your answer. Be patient. I usually get it by the third time.
5. I live for baseball on the radio. My favorite thing to do is nap while listening to a ball game. Baseball on tv is okay, too. Baseball live is a little stressful lately. But give me a couch, the low buzz of an am radio, and a lazy afternoon, and I am a happy man.
I'm supposed to tag 5 people now, but I'm not convinced we have five readers. If you wanna list five of your weird habits on your blog, be my guest!
And come back tomorrow. I have three more things to blog, but I'm pacing myself.

that is funny, my husband is constantly mispronouncing words- he does it on purpose to drive me crazy. also he does this thing where he will put an "m" at the beginning of any word and it totally grosses me out for some reason. like, he will say "macho mel" instead of "taco bell" which makes me want to kill him.
and he sings everything, too. actually he's a compulsive sing-a-longer, too. if there's music on he will sing a long, and he NEVER gets the words right. he could be in the middle of a conversation and he'd just start singing part of a song, if it were on the radio.
i'd do a list in my journal, but right now i have a stomach flu and i'm just trying to kill time between BARFS, so i'm not really feeling up to it. MAYBE TOMORROW.
Would barfing be one of your weird habits?
barfing had better NOT be one of my habits, because it is NOT FUN.
it says "weird" habits, not fun habits.
well doggy, i can definitely say that i don't plan to make a habit out of barfing.
you want weird habits? here's some weird habits:
i'm a peeler. i'll peel paint off of anything- one time i absently ripped a square foot of paint off the wall at jason's old house. i like to scratch the paint off of the keno pencils at the bar. i'll scratch/peel paint off of just about any surface. i also like to peel paper off of things, or peel apart thick cardboard or paper items that can be peeled into thinner layers of paper. i peeeeel! i love to peel. also chipping, i like to chip, peel, and scratch. i took a woodblock printing class and when i was cutting the block with the block cutting tool i was like, HOLY CRAP- i could do this for hours! and then i DID do it for hours.
2. i pull out my eyelashes
actually i can't think of any other habits i have that couldn't be described as "average."
hey, you know what would be fun? HANGING OUT.
HANGING OUT? Sounds good. You've got my digits and I have NO LIFE. I don't even get to do cool things like marathon barfing.
Give me a ring ...
dogg, if you think marathon barfing is COOL, then i am really worried about you.
