Lisa Marie wants to know what our quirks are. "Confess to one, confess to ten, you decide. Just come back Monday ready to spill the beans, the rest of the world may look at you like you are from Mars, but you‘re among friends here. We won’t laugh, in fact that eccentricity just may endear you to us more".
I didn't know at all the meaning of "quirk". I had never heard this word either and had to look it up in my dictionary and in Wikipedia. There I learned that"quirk arises from the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, and that prior to the twentieth century, the most common variant for this “phylum” was Quark", and "Quark" I only know as white cheese.
So what ? I asked people around me about my "quirks" or manners. Apparently I have NONE. I don't pull at my hairs, don't bite my lips, don't bite my nails, don't get red in my face and I don't neigh like a horse when I laugh. I don't have any nervious twitch either. I don't munch when I eat or do other special noises. All in all I seem to be too normal and this is probably my quirk ! Don't think now I am the perfect woman, I have a lot of very bad habits which compensates the lack of quirks, unless a quirk is also to look every day several times for my glasses and car keys which I always put in the same place, only the places are different. In this case that would be my quirk !!
What a peculiar quirk you have my dear. There are so many places in one's living quarters that something can get lost. This is how I deal with lost items.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good laugh Gattina! I can resonate to your car keys and glasses in so many other ways!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
Hi Gattina, I think you should have just forgotten the word Quirk and told us of your bad habits!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNeeding glasses to find my glasses sounds like one of my quirks!
ReplyDeleteI usually look for my sun glasses when they are still propped up on my forehead! Ha!
ReplyDeleteLOL....Gattina, I have to agree with Peter. You're so funny.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I don't think I'm too quirky either... but I bet if I asked my kids they'd come up with a million of them! I'll have to ask.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you lose your keys before you lose you're glasses you might be okay. If I ever put my keys somewhere othere than their nesting place I am lost.
ReplyDeleteI do those things with the keys and my glasses and my cell phone. At least I can call the phone to find it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanx for playing!
I had to google Quarks...b/c at one time, I actually knew what one was! You sound like the perfect friend!
ReplyDeleteI often lose my keys. I usually offer my kids a small sum of money to help me find them!
ReplyDeleteHee hee, I need my contact lenses to find my contact lenses. :D
ReplyDeleteI am always looking for my keys, and the are NEVER in the same place!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog's design- very nice. :)
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly, I do the same thing with my sunglasses, cell phone and keys. Ugh. It's a pain.
great cartoons!!! I love them!!
ReplyDeleteKey losing is a big problem in my world as well! Love those comics.
ReplyDeleteyou are perfect Gattina, I enjoyed reading your post. I did not know the meaning of quirk either, not a word I use
ReplyDeleteFINALLY! A quirkless wonder. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Gattina being quirkless. Would you like some of mine? I hardly ever lose my glasses because I always wear them. If I did lose my glasses, they would be hard to find because I could not see to find them. I rarely lose my keys because many years ago after the neighborhood hunted for my keys, a kind neighboe made me a special key hook.
ReplyDeleteAfter visiting around to all the other quirky people this Fun Monday, are you SURE you don't have one or two?
ReplyDeleteI found that almost every site had me nodding in agreement - it was something I did myself. All I could come up with on my own was sighing.
