Because normal is boring

Despite my best efforts at being inconspicuous, I was tagged by M00KIE to write up a meme of 6 weird things about myself. Oysh so many “weirdnesses” I don’t know where to start, which is a good thing though cuz the way I see it if you cannot find 6 weird things about yourself you are most definitely weird ;)

1. I refuse to eat any fish except tuna and the occasional salmon, I haven’t eaten gefilteh fish since I was around 10 years old (long story for another post) I’ve never even tasted white fish or carp, and herring really grosses me out. My mom still bugs me about it every shabbos “CS how is it that a grown boy like you wont eat gefilteh fish, I’m telling you, when you get married, your wife and mother-in-law are going to think your nuts”

2. I smoke yet I can’t stand the smell of smoke on my clothing and hands, I almost never smoke without gum or mint to go along with it. I don’t buy my own smokes, instead I (sometimes ;) buy cigarettes for my friends and bum off them when I want, I cant understand how in the world do people smoke on fast days, and unlike most smokers I never liked that first motzei shabbos cigarette. I never chain smoke although someone once dared/bet me to smoke 3 quarters of a pack (15 Cigarettes) in a row lighting one from the other with only 1 cup of water to drink, I puked after the 13th one but still won the bet. The weirdest thing about my smoking habit is that I (almost) never smoke during the day, only at night.

3. I hate Vodka! (I haven’t had a plain shot of vodka in years, which is something unheard of for a chabad guy) I drink single malt scotch (and beer ;) only, I can only sip alcohol and always with a chaser, drinking a lot in one gulp will only make me throw up, and for that same reason I can never get totally wasted cuz after a certain amount my body just wont take anymore.

4. Every day, or at least every other day I have this ritual of going into the nosh store and buying the same exact thing each time, 1 pack of spearmint gum (60 cents) and 8 mint candies (5 cents each) which cost exactly 1 dollar. No lines (I have it all figured out, being that it’s only (exactly) one dollar I never wait on line, instead I just walk to the front, plop the dollar on the counter and walk right out) No change.

5. I love the smell of colognes. I frequently spray up my room with cologne, or spray myself before going outside (even if it’s just for a walk,) and sometimes I even spray cologne over my bed before going to sleep.

6. I’m an (night) insomniac :) ba’h

Bonus weirdness

Why is it that I only think of all the great lines and comebacks 10 minutes AFTER the conversation is already over, then I drive myself nuts cuz I didn’t think of it sooner and think to myself if only I had said this or that instead, Arghhh.

Hmmm 27% Thanks for the link M00KIE, perhaps I'm not that weird after all :o
