Tag Post - Unspectacular Quirks

Maiken tagged me. Even though I recently did a post about quirks, I have quite a few. So here are 5 more:

1 - I have this small white dot that appears everyday by my right eye. It wipes off and will not appear again until the next day. Usually I notice it about noonish, but that could just be because that is the first time I'm near a mirror after getting to work. I think it might be some sort of clogged pore, but I prefer to think of it as a mysterious marking linking me to some mystical fairy power.

2 - I have to know what I'm going to order from a drive thru before getting to the order box. That goes for everyone else in the car with me. If I'm not familiar with a place, I pray that there will be a line but that I can see the menu to give me a few minutes.

3 - I REALLY like to cut my split ends. I have a few quirks involving hair. It is probably the most relaxing, calming thing I can do. I like to keep a paper cup or something with scissors and just pull it out when I'm watching tv or something. Although lighting is crucial and natural sunlight is by far the best. I have a pair of scissors in my car and if I have a few minutes left on lunch I will sit in my car and cut my split ends.

4 - I can't ride a bike. I could as a child. In fact most summers around middle school age if I had a bike that worked, I rode it almost every day. The saying you never forget how to ride a bike is not true. Maybe it is just having a harder time with balance but my family can verify that the last attempt I made resulted in my going about six feet before falling over. I fell on a pile of tires which sounds like it would be a good landing spot except they had the wheels on them so it really hurt. I have never made a serious attempt since then. I know part of the problem is finding a bike that fits me, being short is not helpful. Plus I have this strong fear about not being able to sit on the seat and comfortably reach the ground. I think if I tried riding like a Huffy bike I would be fine. I also have a problem because I never learned how to properly stop on a bike, I just bailed. It was nice that at our house in Payson the lawn slopped down to the sidewalk so I could just lean over to the lawn, but anywhere else I just jumped off.

5 - I hate talking on the phone. I would much rather email or chat online. Too bad my job requires talking a lot on the phone. Of course now that I have four staff members instead of two, I talk a lot less. When I worked at the Sears Telecenter placing service orders, it was pretty much my worst nightmare. Talking to people on the phone, and the fact that like 90% of them were yelling at me. For the first two weeks at least once during the day I had to log off the phones because I was crying. I'm a lot tougher now though. Soccer moms do that to you.

I like doing the tags, but not tagging other people, so I tag anyone else who wants to share, that's just how I am. Although I think Scott Huff is kind of quirky so I think he should participate and I would be very curious to see Wade answer, but he doesn't usually do this type of thing on his blog :)
