A two-fold What About YOU?
Every Monday I ask a question, to get to know YOU better.
Ready for today’s? Do you consider yourself a quirky person?
Here are two of my quirks:
I have a thing about pens. I can’t stand tacky ballpoint stick pens, which I consider cheap. I almost insist on using either a gel or a roller ball pen, preferably retractable. I don’t have the patience to fiddle with caps.
I also have a thing about colors. If I have a choice between white and a color, unless it’s paint, I will choose a color every time. I’m crazy about brightly colored post-it notes and highlighters. My Bibles look like coloring books. I’ve even asked the Lord to put a colored stripe in my white linen robe when I get to Heaven, so I won’t be bored wearing a solid white gown!
Your turn…
I wish I were quirky, but I really don't think I am. I don't have any fun eccentric habits...at least none that I can think of. Unless a passionate love of ice cream counts.
ReplyDeleteOooo, I love a roller ball pen too! And it has to be medium...not fine. I don't like any "scratching" going on my paper! :) I happen to love stationery. Pretty note cards and pretty paper! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI just love learning more about you, Jen! Everything you say, I can totally see that shining through. You are so authentic on your blog that your brand is really coming out well!
ReplyDeleteQuirks? Well, since I just got back from vacation, I can say one of my trip quirks is that I travel with my pillows. I honestly can't stand the thought of laying my head on a "stranger's" pillow with everybody else's bad breath and slobber ingrained in the fibers! So, yes, if at all possible, I take my own pillows. :-)
Jody, I travel with a pillow too and I'm trying to figure out if I can bring it on the plane for ACFW and my carry on and my suitcase...I'm thinking no.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, YES. I'm entirely quirky and thankful my husband married me.
I push in all the drawers to my dresser at night, sing very loudly when I'm stressed, have favorite T-shirts I'll wear over and over...wow, this list could go on a scary length.

I'm not quirky at all, but my mom is and she's a hoot!
ReplyDeleteLove reading these comments. ;-)
I am not quirky but I think we all have quirks. Like I never just eat a bowl of ice cream...I must have a cookie, pie, cake, brownie something else to go with it. I also never drink white milk, only chocolate, yes even in cereal. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso whenever I pet an animal I feel the need to immediately wash my hands...no I don't have OCD,I just think they are sweet but dirty. LOL
Quirky = fun, and I might be too straight-laced. But I'm working on it! I got my toes done the other day, and the tech talked me into a hot coral-y color. She said, "Don't be afraid of color!" And I decided against my normal sort of natural shade.
ReplyDeleteQuirky, thy name is Jennfier Shirk. So, yes! LOL
ReplyDeleteLet's see...
I must change the sheets and towels in my house before i go away on vacation so when i come home everything is just so.
I can't write if there's dishes in the sink or if my rug needs to be vacuumed
I don't like oranges--or anything orange flavored
I love watermelon but not watermelon flavored stuff
I wear "alot" of makeup--including red lipstick. yet I refuse to wear mascara because I feel it makes me look too "made up".
Should I go on? LOL!
You know, I like good pens too. Don't care for the ones where the ink blobs and it just turns into a mess. As for the caps, well, they're just one more thing to keep track of. I'm with you with color. Even just a light shade adds a little personality and contrast. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Karen
I don't think I have specific quirks, but have been described as quirky in general. At least it's not boring, right?!?!? :O)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE cloth napkins and cannot stand fast food.
ReplyDeleteI save worms from drowning.
That's all I can think of for now!!!
Blessings, you girl,
Patti
Hi Jen -
ReplyDeleteQuirky - I don't think so. Like you, I love color, particularly purple. Since I had the back bedroom painted, I'm also hankering for more yellow.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Oh gosh am I quirky? Puh-leze. And color? My bible looks like a rainbow attacked it. I do love to highlight.
ReplyDeleteOh, this seems like a fun game!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm a quirky person.
I sleep with one toe out at night so I can breathe. True story.
I could go on and on, but I gotta get going. Like your blog!
I'm easy to buy for because I love all sorts of cute little things.
ReplyDeleteI have to check the toaster oven and stove on the way out, but that's useful.
Sometimes I wear a nightshade because the light bothers me.
And I also hate ballpoint pens that don't write.
I have to use blue pens. Give me a black, I throw it aside. Unfortunately most free business pens are black!
ReplyDeleteI also have to drink out of the same coffee cup every morning. It's chipped and stained, but I don't care! I swear the coffee tastes better too.
Quirks, I have many. How about not being able to sleep with night-shirts that have sleeves. Those boogers twist and bunch up!
ReplyDeleteI have lot of them. For example I prefer eating hot (hot!) food. If it is not hot enough I heat it again....I keep the fan at a very low speed so that my food does not get cold by the time I eat the last morsel. I don't care if I feel hot but my food should taste hot! LOL.
