Idiosyncrasies
Huz tagged me with this ages ago, but I've just been too lazy to respond. Here's my feeble attempt to pick my top 5 idiosyncrasies.1. Giving pet names.
Huz has at least 10 names that I've given him over the years and I use them on a rotating basis (no I won't share them with you, but be assured that "Princess Sophia" is not one of them*).
Cambridge has several variations of her name that I made up: Cambie (note: the "b" is silent), Cambie-Wamie, Kee Kee, Cayma-Wayma, Purr Box, Mommy's Girl (pronounced Gurr-ell), Sweet Pea, etc.
Even if you have a cool name, I'll change it. It's done out of affection, don't worry.
Your name is Thunder? I'll call you TJ instead.
Your first and last name start with G? I'll call you GG.
Your last name is striking? I'll call you Dault.
We went Christmas shopping once and saw baby deer at a quaint village? I'll call you Reindeer.
The list is endless...
2. Starting hobbies.
I have a million and most have fallen by the way side because I work, come home, eat, spend time with Huz, watch t.v., and sleep. When do I have time to do hobbies? But I still like them when I do them. Soapmaking, cardmaking, pottery, photography and candlemaking are a few.
3. Being quick to apologize.
I may have a short fuse and react quickly to things, but I'm also quick to realize when I'm wrong and to let you know it.
4. Getting horny at the worst times.
Yes, this is the t.m.i. category, but that's why you're here, right!? It always happens at the most inconvenient of times. Like when my Auntie Flow** is visiting, or when we're staying the night at someone's house and I'm too chicken shit to act on it because they might hear the squeaking of the bed, or when Huz is walking out the door to work or class. He hates being late (it's almost a phobia, really, that dates back to his childhood) so this is a real challenge for him - but in the end, sex usually wins.
5. Being introspective except when I'm trying to post on my idiosyncrasies.
Damn, but this is hard! I can't think of anything else. You tell me - those who know me and those who have picked up on some through this blog!
*Don't know the reference? Watch 'How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days,' which is what I watched last night when Huz was out with fellow Ph.D. students having a good time.
** You all know this term right? I was at work talking to a girlfriend on the phone and for some reason I told her that my Aunt was visiting. She was all, "Oh really? I didn't know you had family visiting!" And I was all, "Dude, it's a metaphor." |
