Yappy!!! I'm Weird!
I posted this at my other blog on 10 June 2007. It took me for a while to post it here as I am pacing myself very carefully. I am checking my friends' blog and leave short comments. (And of course, short emails to Chezza.) But that is all I can handle at the moment...
***
I was tagged by Connie. This is the first time I was tagged, so I am excited. (And it is good to know that the task is not difficult. ;-))
This one’s all about how weird I am. Each player has to list 6 weird things about themselves.
The rules also have to be stated clearly. When you’re done with your 6 weird facts, tag 6 more people and list their names. Don’t forget to comment the person who tagged you to let them know you’re finished so they can stop by your blog!
***
I am a little worried as people might think I am psychologically and clinically screwed up if I honestly list the things. Oh, what the heck, my neighbours are not checking my blog anyway. 
- HUMAN MUM TO TWO DOGS. Well, I treat my dogs as they are my real children. (I don’t have my own human child.) It is possible that they will be included in my will to inherit my almost non-existent estate when I die. When I need to discipline them, I talk to them and reason to make them understand why they cannot do certain things. I am seriously trying to become their mothter whom I wanted to have.
- LOVE TV PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN. I am fully grown up adult (I just realised that I am also a middle aged woman, although I don’t feel like one.) and yet can be entertained by childrens TV programs.
- LOVE GROCERY SHOPPING. I guess I’m not the busy Mum who has to keep going back to supermarket over and over. I am very lucky if I could go out fortnightly. For a chronically ill person who is house and bed bound, it is a precious entertainment opportunity.
- LOVE ORGANISING BUT STILL VERY MESSY. I am obsessed with organising things and sorting things out. But there are always messy piles of papers and something else. I cannot master the perfection yet. The rules of organisation in my life is still being updated. I have good quality suspension files and other filing systems. And they are labelled by labeling machine as hand writing is not good enough for me. My attraction to accountancy could be the fascination of sorting each expenses into different categories.., because it is definitely not because of fascination to numbers. :-p I am also tempted to upgrade my Office XP to Office 2007 because its Outlook has advanced function to colour coordinate schedule, tasks and notes, which I found very difficult to resist. (I know very well that there is no need of such organisation program for a bed ridden pensioner…)
- GREW UP IN JAPAN. LIVED IN MATCH BOX IN TOKYO. BUT I STILL NEED LOTS OF SPACE AROUND ME. If I didn’t have two dogs, I may have settled into a small unit when I left women’s shelter. Hmmm…, I doubt it. I cannot live in a small unit even rent is much cheaper than a house. My excuse is that renting house here is as same price as renting small unit on the Gold Coast. Since I am house and bed bound, I should be allowed to have a little luxury to go out to back yard when I have a good day and enjoy fresh air and breeze without being disturbed by neighbours.
- MY SOUL CAME FROM IRELAND. This could be the weirdest statement. I don’t know the reason why, but the strong feeling is inside of me for very long time. I never been to Ireland and I don’t have much knowledge of the country yet. I feel peace and at home when I feel at the cliff over looking ocean and gray sky or among trees, moss and spirits of nature. And my soul knows it is somewhere in Ireland.

I’m going to tag:
Heather, Panthergirl, Chezza, Rachel, Worker and Tanya.
PS. I just found out that I have much more than 6 blogging friends.
PPS. I am making a little change in the rules that the person who is tagged can choose to play or not play. People can play as long as they feel it is fun to participate. I hope the owner of this game woudn’t mind… I just realised that not everybody who is tagged is going to play for some reasons. I respect their choice and do not wish to put any pressure on them.

When you say children's programs give us an example that doesn't include "Harry Potter", please don't say "High 5".
Grocery shopping yes I can relate to that for the same reasons, we don't realise how special it is until we can't do it.
Lots of space - hell yes and neighbours a long way away.
Yes I am a bit of an organiser, but due to certain restrictions it can't happen like it should. You know that you forgot your fetish for stationary - I hope I was allowed to say that - but I do understand your fetish especially in a shop such as Smiggle
I haven't been to Ireland but I have Irish heritage so yes I would love to go to Ireland, but I don't think my soul came from Ireland - so yes I will let you have that weirdness all to yourself *wink*
As for my two dogs, "B will you lock the bloody dogs up they are chasing cars again!!!!!!!" - that was not a joke as I just had to yell that out - Grrrrrrrrrr.
So I have to come up with 6 things weird about me - this maybe tricky as I am perfectly sane (subconscious me already thinks that maybe my 1st weirdness I think I am perfectly sane).
I shall have to think about it. Hmmmmm
Oh Chezza! Don't get me started. :-D
Children's program... I watch whatever on TV. So it could be Noddy, Tractor Tom, Barney & Friends, New McDonald's Farm, etc. etc. And I cannot watch High 5 or Wiggles coz they make me very tired just by watching. (I don't dance and sing with them in front of TV!!!) Old fashioned Disney movies, but I found Pus in Boots from Shrek 2's adorable eye trick quite funny and loved it.
My fetish for stationary... I didn't think about it when I originally posted this. (ME brain). Yes, I looooove stationary. This organising obsession is also part of stationary obsession coz I have to have good quality stationary to keep those documents and schedules. I used to collect good quality pens that feels good in my hand and feels great when I write. It's very hard to find such pen these days.
Poppy used to chase cars. I cannot remember at this moment, but I believe she particularly chased red car. Someone told me that dogs believe cars are their parents... (Red car? I don't look like it... Not even close.) She used to be an escape artist as well. When she came back one morning covered by stinking mad and ticks all over her body (including eye lids), I almost got heart attack. And she was chased by birds and was running for her life. I better stop here as it's gonna be endless...
If I start thinking, I have more than 6 weird things, but I leave them in peace for now. Well, I share one of them with you, the fascination about toilet stories!
And please remember, you can only do it if it is fun to you. And there is no time limit, so please take your time. (meaning, don't forget to rest well.)
