6 Weird Things About Me

I've been tagged by Zamozo for a game of "6 Weird Things About Me" that's going around the unschooling blogosphere. I have to tell you 6 weird things about me then tag 6 other unschoolers to do the same.

Well, first things first. 6 weird things about me.
1. I have freaky feet! Not only do I have Morton's toe (second toe longer than big toe) butI also have a way big space between my big toe and second toe.

2. I am a total library junkie. I know all the library ladies at my local branch on a first name basis. I frequently have very close to my limit of 50 books out at any given time. I put so many books on hold that I am always at the limit for holds on my card, and have quite a few on my husband's card too. Yes, it might be time for some sort of intervention, lol!

3. My husband and I have been together since we were 16 years old (we married at age 24). Based on past experience when people learn this fact about me, if you don't find this extremely adorable, you will most definitely find it weird.

4. I will fall asleep in the car (if I'm not driving) unless I knot or do some other type of activity to keep my brain alert.

5. I'm a bit obsessive about the cleanliness of my kitchen counters (crumbs-aaargh!!!) and the way my bath towels are folded.

6. My taste in music could best be described as "eclectic". If it's not rap, jazz, country, heavy metal or Whitney Houston, I probably like it (although I might not admit it). I have yet to meet someone else who enjoys both Beethoven and Abba!

Okay, now on to the tagging part. I'm pretty desperate on this, since I've been tagged pretty late in the game, and I honestly can't find 6 more unschooling bloggers I'm familiar with that haven't already been tagged, so I'm going with 4 because I don't have any more time to track more down!

Robin (I can't believe she hasn't already been tagged - if so I missed it - but her blog's still a must read anyway!)

Pam (who hasn't posted for a long while, maybe this will spur her to action?)

Billy Jean (a local unschooling mama)

another Chris (whose blog I've just found and who doesn't know I exist!)

Thanks for playing! I've discovered we have a couple weird things in common - I have a big gap between my big toe and 2nd toe - but I know why - I broke a bone in my foot jumping into a swimming pool in high school -- too shallow.

Also, dh and I started dating when we were 16 too - married at age 23! We're coming up on our 20 year anniversary. That's not so weird, is it?

I actually got tagged on my other blog: http://blue-skies-urban-farm.blogspot.com/ but I enjoyed reading your answers. We have a lot in common as I too am a Certified Library Junkie, fall asleep in cars regularly (to my husband's dismay), and have been known to have both Beethoven and ABBA on my iPod at the same time. No funky toes though ;-)

I'm glad to hear that I share some of my weird traits with other unschoolers! It's kind of cool to realize that we all have much more in common than we realize.
