Weird Things About Moi?
The just-too-cute-and-cool Big Shoulders over at Tongue-tied Lightning recently (okay, about a month ago) tagged me to list six weird things about me. Just six? I included some of my weirdnesses on my 100 Things About Me post and Five Things You Don’t Know About Me meme … but my weirdness cup overflows.
Six Weird Things About Me
1. I eat the whole damn apple. The apple core and seeds may be my favorite part of the apple. I have yet to have a tree grow in my stomach, so hush. I also like to crack open a peach seed and eat the kernel inside.
2. I have a scar along the edge of my chin. Having the scar isn’t weird, although I have no idea how I got it. What’s weird is, until I was in junior high, I thought it was the seam for my skin … as if The Good Lord had knitted my flesh Himself. Kind of Silence of the Lambs, isn’t it?
3. I organize the cat food cans. Each label must be facing forward, and cans are stacked by flavor. I then go down the row so that my cats have different dinner every night; I cannot feed them salmon two nights in a row, dammit.
4. My irises are freckled. I’m a freckled Irish freak, spotted all over my body — even down to my irises, which are green with brown flecks.
5. My Christmas card mailing list is on an Excel spreadsheet. There’s a worksheet for each year, going back to 1999. I have thumbnails of the cards in the header (I have three or four different cards every year); under that color I list the dates those cards are mailed to that set of recipients. I also list the date I receive a card from someone. (Dan suggested this one … and many, many more I’ll keep to myself.)
6. I love frozen sweets for breakfast. Frozen cake is the best, followed by cookies with icing, then ice cream. Must come from my Cap’n Crunch mornings growing up.
Whose weirdities am I most interested in today? Let’s tag:
• The Haahnster, so that he knows I love him again … a little …
• Scrivener, because I know his list will be very cool (damn him and his cool hair) …
• Write Procrastinator, because writers are weird and love telling you about it …
• http://www.str8jacket.com/wordpress/, because I know he’s wonderfully weird …
• KulturFluff, because I’m ready for a new post from her …
• And last (but certainly not least) Coffeypot, because he’s a Coffey and therefore very, very weird.

Uh, Beth, did you know that both peach pits and apple seeds contain cyanide? The levels are not super high in either, but they do contain cyanide.
Beth,
Thanks for the tag, but I did this meme back in December...

I used to eat the whole apple too, back when I was a kid. Everything except for the stem.
Scars about the face? You and I could have a scar comparison worthy of the scene in "Jaws."
I have an eye freckle, though I wasn't born with it. And yes, frozen cake is good any time of the day.
TEN S: Yes, I've been warned about the cyanide content for years (one of the beloveds is a pharmacist, and she has reminded me regularly) ... but I've never gotten sick or died from an apple or peach, so I'll continue to live on the edge.
WRITER PROCRASTINATOR: You have just six weird things about your writerly person? C'mon; you can come up with another six. and I'll send you a photo of my freckled eyes if you send me a photo of your eye freckle.
ok - the skin seam had me laughing out loud!
oh - and frozen snickers make an excellent brekkie as well!
My Xmas card list is also in Excel. As well as Palm and Outlook just to be sure.
when you keel over, we will tell the coroner to rule out all those 'swirls' and concentrate on your fruit intake.
by the way, who is opening for laura veirs?!
be wary of the sebadoh show--a friend of mine went and said it kinda, well, it sucked. but maybe it was an off night...
There never is a wrong time to enjoy cake.
I eat the whole apple too if nobody's watching.
I never got my Christmas card.
snif...
Beth, you and your apple-core-eating friends here are weird. That is one of the weirdest things I've ever heard.
As for the Excel spreadsheet, I also have mine, but only as a way to be vindictive against those who fail to return the favor. I don't go as far as to scan the cards and include dates of receipt. You're weird.
You win Beth...

I'll send you a pic of the eye freckle when I actually can get some sleep and the bags under my eyes are less Samsonite-like. You'd cringe otherwise at the redeye that cannot be Photoshopped out.
