Quirks tag

Deanna tagged me again. This time it's on my quirks. I thought I would look up the word quirk to make sure that I was accurate in describing myself. The definition according to dictionary.com is a peculiarity of action, behavior, or personality; mannerism. Peculiarity? Why I'm perfect in every way! Ok not really, so here goes...

Action: I'm bad when it comes to popping all of my joints. I bend my knees to pop my ankles. This is a must in the mornings and generally mid-day. I pop my knuckles lots, roll my wrists and straighten my arms to pop my elbows. Basically, I'm a bonafide freak. After my scoliosis surgery it was a major struggle because I really wanted to be able to pop my back still and after about 2 or 3 years I finally learned that I could. So that happens frequently too.

Behavior: I talk really, really fast especially if I'm excited or nervous. One time after giving a talk at church a guy asked Ty and me if I had gills. I'm sure he assumed Ty would know if I did and was seeking confirmation from him that I didn't.

Personality: I say things that I shouldn't ALL the time. My mouth tends to work faster than my brain. I say things and then realize, oops I probably shouldn't have said that. My sister-in-law tells me that's what makes me, me, but I'm still not convinced it's such a good thing. Does that make sense? (another quirk I have just for Deanna)

So, if anyone can think of any more feel free to post them in my comments. I'm a little scared of what Anonymous might have to say!

And, drum roll please, I tag Anne!! (and Karin only if you are interested.)

the fast talking! I remember that! Remember when you, Dee, and I went to that comedy sports club, and the announcer said we were "Team ADD?" Fun times.

I thought I had commented, apparently not. I'm glad you, me and Anne all share the popping of the joints quirk though I do think you take the cake because of the fierceness of how you do it :) That is such a Julie thing and I haven't seen it for so long!
