So here goes a few quirky things about me:

1. I can't stand snakes. Seriously, I won't even go into the reptile at the house at the zoo because they freak me out so much.

2. I have to read before I sleep at night. I can't go to bed unless I read for at least a 1/2 to an hour.

3. I don't like people who pop their gum. It just bugs the hell out of me to the point where I have contemplated killing the gum poppers. Remember the scene in Chicago, Cell Block Tango? The girl who killed her husband for popping his gum? That's me.


4. People who don't answer emails. If I can find 5 minutes out of my day to send an email, then the other person can damn well write back. No excuses. I think its rude and disrespectful.

5. Like Kwana, I'm a huge procrastinator but one that works really well under deadlines. No deadline no workie.

6. I keep my shoes back in the box that they came in. I have boxes on top of my closet where all my shoes live, snuggled nicely in their homes.


So for this quirky meme I'm tagging Marianne, Patt, Georgie Lee, Kelly Parra, Gabriele and Deirdre. Don't kill the messenger. Have fun.
