Quirky Jerky

I'm not usually one to do these sort of things, but where it came from my most devoted commenter, I figured I should oblige. So, here are five of my unspectacular quirks:

1.I can't sleep if my feet aren't covered. It doesn't matter how warm it is, I need my feet covered. I'm pretty sure that it stems from a belief that covering your feet keeps you safe from alien abductions.

2. I have to move a chair, however slightly, before I sit in it. It doesn't matter if I organized the chairs initially, I feel compelled to move it a little before I can sit in it.

3. My method of cleaning the house drives Megan crazy. I tend to make piles and move things around multiple times before they get put in their ultimate resting spot. It works for me, I just need to send Megan out of the room before I start working.

4. When sitting down or sleeping, I have a really hard time if I'm not facing the door. I think this might be related to protection from alien abductions as well.

5. I know everyone thinks it's totally bizarre, but I think the Planet of the Apes poster on top of the blog totally rocks. It's now the wallpaper on my iPod Touch, too.

I'm like Kari and don't like to tag others, but I'm pretty sure Becca would like to do this sort thing, so I'll tag her.

And just in case you don't think that number 5 really counts as a quirk, here is an artist's rendering of what Topher would look like with a big white beard.

LOL!! Ok, those are really some quirks. Like have you maybe ever been told you might have a little OCD? Or maybe you were abducted by aliens? I'm guessing those quirks might come in handy in relating to people in your line of work. Maybe? Thanks for participating :)
