Cause I'm "Weird"

I am not at all impressed or interested in the Wii.

I don't have "shows."

I feel most of the best movies and TV were filmed over 10+ years ago.

I have no idea about who most current celebrities are and current celebrity gossip.

I cannot watch Interventions, Cheaters, Cops, and very depressing shows like that but love to watch Snapped, Cold Case Files, and Forensic Files, etc. Go figure.

I am not a slave to my phone(s), I answer it if it is a good time, otherwise I take a peak at who's calling and call back later.

I have a real problem with people who instantly throw me on their forward list and think that's friendship or family contact, sending something my way once in awhile if they think I will find it funny is fabulous, stop sending me all the crap please.

I don't give persons in certain age brackets the time of day (younger). I think children and the elderly are the wisest beings that walk the earth.

I am not at all into or impressed by materialism or status seeking type people, I want to run the opposite direction. I love your BMW but if you are a horrible person, the car means nothing.

It puzzles and angers me that so much of the world revolves around alcohol. There is a time and a place in life for it and for many people in the world it causes more trouble than good. Still want to clobber the dippy waitresses over the head with the drink menu when we go to chain restaurants and then they have this big spiel about the drink specials, first of all can't you see that I'm pregnant and WHAT ABOUT THE FOOD SPECIALS?????

I don't believe in much of the medical profession today. Seems that most doctors just want to write a prescription and send you on your way. Really? Couldn't you take a minute to explain my condition or give a non-prescription suggestion? Wipe that smug smirk off your face when I tell you I don't want to take meds while pregnant . . . . . . . PLEASE!

I'm not a fan of kids clothes with characters on them.

I don't believe in artificial sweeteners, fat free foods, and baby formula.

I don't like most fast food.

I don't like most sports or all the hoopla they create but think they do have importance when they make people happy (who play them). Does that make sense.

I think it's sadly humorous when people in their 30's and up who are married with kids are still out partying, hitting the bars and getting wasted regularly. Huh?

It bothers the depths of my soul when people force girls to wear pink and play with dolls and force boys to wear blue and play with balls and trucks. Thanks mom!

I shutter at store-bought party and room themes. OY!

Who the Hell is Paris Hilton anyway and why are so many people obsessed with her? Somebody please feed her and give her some undergarments.

I prefer darker colored hair, dogs to cats, curves to boniness, and vegetables to meat.

Golf seems very boring and pointless to me.

I hate bangs on most people, I think people look better without them.

So what makes you weird? Can you come up with a list this long? Maybe you have some oddities to comment. I'd love to hear them :)

Very interesting thoughts, especially since most of those seem to be what drives America as a whole!

I can't stand texting and my hubby use to think I was afraid of using the phone, but in actuality, I'm more of a people person and would rather talk with them face to face instead of calling them.

The only exception is e-mailing since I'm a pretty fast typer, sometimes it's more practical in so many ways, and it gives me a chance to compute my thoughts, erasing what doesn't make sense, etc...

I'm a very traditional person so anything too extreme or trendy tends to fly by my noggin. I too haven't really been keeping up on a lot of celebrity gossip, and I'm happy about that.

I love to read YA novels because I then don't have to deal with sleeze. I use the excuse that I read them with the intention of possible lesson plans for when I go back to teaching.

I could go on and on!

You are So not weird. I am never a slave to the phone, I'm on it all day at work, so Enough Already!!!
I must be REALLY Wierd because I do give younger people the Time of Day, my ear and attention too. I've always liked talking, working with adolescents and young adults, old folks and toddlers too, so I'm really OUT There!!!
Great post, Thanks, M.V.

I thought of something.

In a public place, when I walk up to open the door of a bathroom stall, I mentally brace myself for a dead body being behind the door.

I. Have. No. Idea.

Hi Val, Congrats on your pregnancy and all the good news with your hubby. You're not weird, you may be young, but you have an old soul! Nice to hear from you Val.
xox, Marie

definately with ya on golf and celebrities, drinks menus/alcohol and artificial sweetners. very much agree in sentiment about doctors especially phsiciatrists, wann give pills for everything, what about some common sense.
doctors
sad-pill
cant sleep-pill
tired all the time-pill
Common sense
what about laying off the junk food, getting outside in the sunshine, doing something worthwhile and if you cant sleep back off the coffee!
i work in a youth hostel and we had a 15 year old who went to the doctor coz she couldnt sleep. i would have suggested a little excersise, less caffine, and journaling or talking about stuff before bed.
nope- antidepresseants he gave her, and when she got bad side effects he prescibed 2 more buttkicking drugs to quash the sideeffects!
So like i said. i am with you on that one!

I liked the Wii for all of 1 day.

I don't have cable.

I prefer era TV shows (James Herriot, Road to Avonlea, and British TV)

My guilty pleasure is reading celebrity gossip blogs. I think it's a human interest fascination, cause I don't even know who 99% of them are. LOL

Cop shows disturb me. I can't watch them.

I have caller ID for a reason. I never run for a call. I prefer to email or IM or pass the call on to my husband. haha

STOP THE FORWARDS ALREADY!

I love my child, but find other people's children incredibly exhausting. I am a total introvert.

STUFF is shallow and inconsequential. Family time, good hard work, pursuing hobbies I'm passionate about, and being with friends are what makes life worthwhile.

I have tried to like alcohol, but seriously, it tastes bad. I don't get it.

I would trust my Traditional Chinese Med doctor over my MD any day of the week.

I think it's cute that my son loves different movie characters because it has broadened his imaginary play, and I love encouraging that. I let him where shirts with characters cause it makes him happy.

I don't believe in artificial sweeteners, fat free foods, and baby formula.

I don't like most fast food. HATE french fries.

Sports? Bah, humbug.

I used to want to hang with the "in crowd" but turns out I like to go to bed at a decent hour, and spend the evening with my family.

I hated it that my mom forced me to wear overalls so I wouldn't be a stereotype "girl". Just let me be who I am.

I hate kid's birthday parties. I shudder at the thought of having a dozen screaming kids tearing through my home and yard, and the pile of gifts that goes along with that is a complete waste.

I am proud to be who I am. I don't need to look like Paris Hilton to be happy.

I prefer blonde hair (me and my son), budgies to dogs or cats, curves to boniness, and vegetables to meat.

I suck at mini-golf and am uninterested in trying golf.

I have bangs and I think they look lovely on me. :P
