Six Things/Habits/Quirks About Schmutzie

Heidi from Ramblings would like me to tell you six things/habits/quirks about myself, which I will do, because I am presently snortling through a sinus cold under the covers and cannot be arsed to remember where I last put my brain.

Of course, there are rules for this meme, because we are humans, and humans like rules:

Post the rules on your blog.

Six Things/Habits/Quirks About Schmutzie

1. I just now noticed that I often talk about myself in the third person on this website. Bob Dole and I should join forces for disassociation everywhere.


2. I also just now noticed that the end table next to my chair is actually a haphazard construction made of a wrapped box from a present I received in the summer balanced on top of a cat carrier. I like to think of this maverick furniture-building as a creative storage solution that fits my lifestyle.


3. Which reminds me of the worst bed I ever owned. I stole enough milk crates from behind a nearby grocery store to create a base for my bed, put cardboard down over it to smooth over their rough bottoms, and then put down a thin piece of salvaged foam. It was hard and depressing, but then I was crazy and unemployed and living in a friend's basement. Dumpster diving was my forte.


4. My sinuses hate me today, and I them. We are locked in a bitter battle. They want supremacy over my head, but I kind of value my brain.


5. I secretly like warts. They are these tiny, independent, uninvited guests. What chutzpah!


6. I like the idea of setting out to be pesky. How are you today? I'm pesky! And perhaps a little scurrilous!

I'm at home today, too. My whole body hurts, but I'm determined not to get sick.

If your sinuses are bothering you, you should try that trick my naturopath recommended - I'm curious to know how it works!

Firstly: You've got nothin' on http://www.iambossy.com" REL="nofollow">Bossy when it comes to referring to yourself in the third person.

Lastly: I like scurrilous.

I had to look up scurrilous and apparently it perfectly describes me. Thank you. Now I can tell people I'm complicated and scurrilous. Reminds me of pirates.

Sinus troubles? To the neti pot--STAT!

I thought I was the only one using a wrapped gift box as a side table. I never actually got the paper all the way off. I was like "I have one of these already" and that was it.

Thanks for the linky love! I'm on it. Thankfully quirky comes easily.

I like pesky the best. I hope those sinuses start behaving and your head returns to normal. Normalcy is good sometimes.

And I voted - did my blogging duty!

If that link doesn't work, google: "man + tree" and it should be the first listing.
