All weirdos, man

I saw this tag coming when she was doing it, but it was she who tagged me.

You gotta write five weird things about yourself, and then pass it on to five others. Of course, these can't be held against you in any court. Awright, here goes.

1. I always take the phone to my left ear to answer a call. Why? I don't know. This is about being weird, right?

2. I always keep my money sorted by denominations, the mutilated notes preceding the crisp ones for each denomination. And Gandhi always has his bald pate on top.

3. I can never wear a baseball cap with its peak in the front. It always has to be back. I used to, but once while riding fast, the wind blew it away, and my cap came under a bus, and I lost it. I have that fear ever since. Even when not riding.

4. My company is quite lenient on the dress code, and does not insist on a tie. Yet, you can catch me knotting a tie on a Monday, even though I don't wear it to office. I just remove it and put it away.

5. My comments usually end up being of a length fit for a post, and I quietly convert them to posts on my blog. I'm restraining it though, and the fact that there is no post on Mysore even a week after she put this up, is proof enough.

Now for the next five: Its her, her, her, him and him.

PRIDERA said...

Most are indeed weird ... especially the 4th .. as for the money sorting .... same pinch :)

Viky said...

@Guru: Trackbacks, yeah. I think so, too. Will do something about it.

@Chandni: What was so nice about weird stuff?

@Pridera: I like wearing ties, that must be the reason I do it. I think I will wear it to office one Monday, and make them think I'd attended an interview elsewhere. :-)

hehe! Either treat the 5th one as an ex-weirdness and write a different one or if you want to retain it, write a post on Mysore. There! Now you have your excuse. Thank me.

Nice list I meant...

Its cute to imagine some one think of themselevs as weird just because they put the phone on their left ear!

:)

Also nice because it made me smile. Call me weird!

@Anu: Neither is carpentry, and tooling around with nuts, bolts and screws weird for a girl, nor doing the girly things like knitting and embroidery. I will allow calling BMW a dabba as weird, but not sitting in front of a laptop cruising in blogosphere. You will get my fifth when you put up three new ones, starting with why your husband thinks...

@Chandni: Ayyo, it always happens. Regardless of landline, FWP or mobile, my left ear is where they go. Now, I think I need to use a handsfree, just to appease the right ear. :D

chitra said...

if 1 and 2 are weird, i share the same with you. whether it is the land line or mobile , it is always to my left ear.

Viky,
sorry I have been not online for a while. Was jumping jobs so had a week away from internet ;)
Will write up on your tag soon.
And yeah, I keep sorting notes by the denominations and wear and tear. Turns out I am not the only one :)
BTW, was in Mysore on Monday. Place looks more beautiful than before.

Well, should have read this one before.

You might not want to convert it into a post, but I want to! I am sure you will be gracious enough to approve my request.
