Tag-a-rootie Tootie
Thanks to Kate and mz. azul.
The first player of this game starts with writing 6 weird things/habits about themselves and then selects 6 others to write an entry about their 6 weird things/habits as well as state this rule clearly. After making your list of weird things, pick 6 others. They are allowed to laugh at you in your comments as much as they want, so deal! Don’t forget to leave a note that says, You are tagged! in their diary.
1. I detest clutter. Always have. I spent much too much of my youth picking up after all the other members in my family Mom (the worst), Dad, older brother, and younger sister. Every day after school for many years. Did the same with college roommates. Over the last 34 years of working, I have often been accused of not doing work or not having enough work to do because of my extraordinarily tidy work area. In my car, you will not find so much as a gum wrapper not even in the trunk. (So much unlike my daughter who has always pretty much driven a motorized dumpster.) Same at home, to include drawers and closets. Fortunately my wife is (close enough) the same way. OCD? You betcha.
2. I like to sleep with my right hand holding the bedpost. Or something at the headboard like it a spindle or whatever. On my right side, right arm extended above me, hand wrapped around the bedpost. Sometimes during some nights sleep I do the same on my left side and on rare occasions I will sleep on my back and extend both arms above me and grab something at the headboard. It is mainly for that reason we bought a wrought iron bed. Plenty at the headboard to hold on to. Not to mention the other benefits of that feature
3. I cannot multi-task. Period. Not so uncommon I suppose, but I add the addendum that I cannot multi-task-think either. My brain only focuses on one thing at a time. For example, there is no safety issue involved with me driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. I cant do it. I either drive or I talk on the phone. If I try to do this, I will either completely loose my ability to drive or be clueless to whom I am conversing about what (and its not difficult to guess which way I go on that). More examples: I could never do homework and watch TV at the same time; it was one or the other. I cannot listen to music and do something else at the same time; it is either or. The music can be on, but if I am involved in another activity or even thinking of something other than the music, its just white noise. It really sucks and at times even gives the impression that I am a snob and/or rude because if I am thinking of something (engrossed in thought), and somebody (family, friends, co-workers doesnt matter) gives a verbal greeting or say something else, I dont hear it and appear to ignore them. Because of this, I have for years warned people whom I will be seeing on a regular basis of this handicap of mine and ask them not to take it personally.
4. I hate talking on the phone. Never have and have no idea why. Again, this may not be so unusual for most males, but again I am an extremist here. I DO NOT LIKE TALKING ON THE PHONE. Now tell that to the girl you liked and liked you back in the 8th grade and see if she believes you, understands, or accepts that. HAHAHAHAHA She lied. And dumped you for not caring. So did the new girl in the 9th grade, the 10th grade, the 11th grade .and this uncaring attribute of mine persists between then and now, up to and including my wife of nearly 37 years.
5. After sex, I have a consistent urge (and always partake when I can) for a cold glass of milk. Who dont, eh?
6. Im having trouble coming up with a sixth weird habit or thing about myself. I think these five are enough for me to handle. But I will relate something that occurred in high school that I still consider weird. I went to an American high school in Germany my first year and then transferred (with my military fathers re-posting) to a school in South Florida. Because of the difference in curricula, I had to sit out of science during my first year at the new school since I had already taken Biology in Germany. As it ended up, there was no sixth subject for me to take at all, so I was forced to take study hall. I made all As that first semester (which included honors English and Latin). Nevertheless, I was judged ineligible for induction into the National Honor Society. Because I made a D in study hall conduct. What the fuck? Not honorable enough I guess. Still seems pretty weird to me.
Im late on this so have no real idea or recollection of who has already been tagged and responded. However dont recall reading about these yet:
– Gym Rat
– Mystenne
– kiki
– Misguided Angel
– +Pelican
– pattyann

Number 1’s gonna cause a temporary suspension of your Guy Card. You may have it back after your next half dozen applications of milk (which, btw, is like this wacky replenishing thing: white stuff out, white stuff in! YEE HAW!) depending on how many times you utilized the headboard.

Sex and milk does a body good, right? Right. I did your tootie tootie tag. LWM 143
Warning Comment
Shit. That would be “rootie” tootie not tootie tootie.
Warning Comment
Oh, boy, those are some difficult notes to follow. You don’t seem all THAT weird to me.
Warning Comment
Do you think holding onto the bed comes from all those years of “lemonade” consumption, and the resulting “spinning room” sensation?? And a glass of cold milk after sex? You are one weird bastard.
Warning Comment
ryn: Yeah. Sure you do, Baby. Sure you do.
Warning Comment
Got milk?
Warning Comment
re #2, do you travel with a mini-bedpost?
Warning Comment
After sex, I usually want iced tea. I’m lactose intolerant. 🙂
Warning Comment

Warning Comment
Ummm….HOW far am I delivering?? If you are fixin to say the boondocks, so sorry. I have a..umm..toenail fungus appointment! Heehee. ~Brooke

Oh how horrible! WARM BEER! Blach. The cardinal sin of beer!

*L* I receive more excitement from reading the lives of others then I do the creative writing aspect of my own. It makes me appreciate my life more and I have a tendancy to act last dramatic for fear of sounding like some of these “chillens'”. Either way, I haven’t read your OD for long, but I find you absolutely side stitching and humorous. Everyone needs a little humor in their life andyou never seem to lack in that department. THANK YOU for making me smile! 🙂 ~Brooke

i love you – thought you should know.

ryn: yeah, it says New Orleans on it…that was after he took the Cubs jersey off!
Warning Comment
rynrymryn: Drinks “to flash my boobies”, no doubt! ;o)
Warning Comment
I said “was.” You still “are”. Cocksucker.
Warning Comment
RYN: I think your right about cuting him out. I am always lecturing my friend on how and why she doesn’t see that the guys she dates treat her like crap, but then i don’t notice it fully when they do it to me. Or I don’t feel like its bad enough to complain. Maybe they all need a swift kick in the balls to jar a little sence in there. Are all guys this bad? how about guys in their 30’s? or 40’s?
Warning Comment
funny part is, watching the dvd–(and being reminded in a sober state) his shirt says Pascagoula…not New Orleans. Obviously they changed it for the cover. Weird, huh?
Warning Comment
RYN: Yeah. beer solves every problem, doesn’t it? Heh. You crack me up, you good looking crazy man.
Warning Comment
RYN: Nah,,,,guys don’t really like all that, they like the high maintenance wine chick with all the issues. And then they like to drink a beer with me and tell me all about it. Admit it, I’m right.
Warning Comment
Watched part of the second DVD last nite and he in fact had the New Orleans shirt on.
Warning Comment
RYN: But they were purdy shoes. You certainly cannot blame a beautiful shoe! As for the husband? I really wasn’t mad. I did, however, have to bite my lip when he informed me that the reason he did not question my well being was that he knew when I bitched that meant I was just fine. I swear, I can never me mad at that man. He just bats those eyelashes and gives me that smirky smirk and I ama puddle of mush. GAH! Don’t you DARE tell him that, either. Sometimes I HAVE to pretend to be mad for a little bit. How else is a woman supposed to get a little extra TLC? Happy Wednesday! ~Brooke

RYN: My motto, do as I say, not as I do!! I know, they are a handful but they are so much fun!!
Warning Comment
RYN: Yeah, that’s why they always ALWAYS get caught! So been there, done that. I was just a little sneakier. Or else my parents a little stupidier.
Warning Comment
Very long story that you dont know about since you havent been reading long. I’ll have to write to clarify since a lot of folks are confused. It’s not good, and painful.
Warning Comment
This was a fun ‘tag’. I did this one a bit back. I sleep with my arms above my head. I think it’s a sign of intelligence. Or an affinity for bondage…I’m not sure which. Stooopid honors society. I used to get bad grades for ‘handwriting’. Now I’m always the one who has to write card and signs and whatnot ’cause I have the ‘nicest’ handwriting. Pfffffttttt. Whadda’ they know…
Warning Comment
RYN: HAhhhhhhhhhhaaa. Wouldn’t it be really nice to be the kind of person who backs up their Sim card??? Don’t tell me you are one of those??
Warning Comment
RYN: Oh yeah,, you got him pegged! But the good news is, Little Girl is grounded. Sooo, she’s my be-yotch for the week. As we speak, she’s sitting in Cingular waiting to get me a new phone and then will have to key in all the numbers. It’s good to be queen!
Warning Comment
RYN: lol…yeah i guess that makes sence. but so basically what your saying, is if I can’t find any non dick heads now, i’m not gonna find any when they are older, huh? I mean, its not like they are gonna change, and then there will be a pleathera of nondickheads. So basically we’re stuck with what we got now. BOys don’t mature at all? that stinks… 🙁 haha
Warning Comment
RYN: Absolutely! The little stinker is now shopping for shoes for me to wear tonight. I’m telling ya, this is great! Need your car washed or anything??
Warning Comment
thank you for your note. somehow it really hit a note in me. yes, I’ll get thru this also. love to you.
Warning Comment
oh hell no – a D in Study Hall??? bastards!
Warning Comment
RYN: True that is. But damn, when they team up,,,it makes it tougher to nail their skinny asses!
Warning Comment
Milk? Funny, for me it’s shopping. Or maybe it just works out that way. (snicker) Call me sometime.
Warning Comment
RYN: Yeah I found that one out the hard way. I will never be with a guy who i htink needs changing. I already know it won’t happen. But I guess I’ll have to take your word for it that theres good guys out there, until I meet one! 🙂 we’ll see but I’m skeptical, as usual! but thanks anyways! 🙂
