You quirky little thing you...

Quirk: noun oddity of personality, way of doing something

We all have them.  We're all a little weird.  A little odd.  Have those little things about us that can seem strange to others.

I like being a little bit quirky.  I've always sat a little left of centre... I like to be different.   I just don't where that line lies between 'aw thats such a cute thing' to 'OMG is she for REAL, get that girl a straight jacket STAT?!??!"

Well you can be the judge!  Here is no particular order are 20 of my quirky, weirdy, randomy things...

1.  I don't eat whole strawberries.  They have to be cut up. 

2. I talk to my computer.  A lot.  So much so that I warn the person sitting next to me upfront.  They soon tune out to me. 

3. The milk goes in first when making an instant coffee.

4. I only eat off plates made of ceramic material.  No plastic/melamine/metal etc.  Disposable plates at a BBQ are the exception.  Same rule for cups. 

5. I will ask for a paper takeaway cup for my coffee when sitting in. 

6. I only drink room temperature water.  I will ask at a cafe/shop/service station etc if they have any.  Otherwise I will wait for it to reach room temperature.

7.  Apples have to be room temperature too. 

8. I will round my bills up so I pay an even amount.   Volume controls have to be on an even number too.

9.  I have to wear kitchen gloves if I am hand mixing anything. 

10. I separate all the colours in a packet of m&ms and have a method to eating them involving numbers in each group.

11. I drive myself crazy with conspiracy theories.  The world is flat.

12.  I use kitchen scissors to cut everything when preparing food. 

13. I can't help but google spoilers for TV shows, movies, books etc.

14. I only wear small hoop earrings.  Or studs at a push.  Fancy earrings make me nervous.

15. I don't stop for petrol until it is absolutely necessary.   However I have only ran out of petrol once.

16. I cannot deal with soggy cereal.  Or too much milk on cereal.

17.  I make lists about everything.  To-do's are my favourite.  That baby always has something going on.

18.  I refuse to wear jeans and joggers. 

19.  I have 5 apps I check on my phone as soon as I wake up - emails, facebook, instagram, my bank account and pinterest

20. I have an order of washing up also.  Drink bottles, then glasses then plates then everything else then cutlery.
