6 quirky things about me

I got tagged by Mamarita. I didn't want to do this..... what the heck. might as well

The rules:
1. Link the person(s) who tagged you…Mamarita
2. Mention the rules in your blog…
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours…
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them…
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged…
6 quirky things about me...... Here goes!


1. I always tell the truth. It doesn't always set me free. Ill refuse to answer a question rather than lie. It started as an experiment in 1997 (or '98) and it's kinda stuck with me...
2. Nobody believes that #1 is true.... then they get to know me
3. When i meet people, i pretend to be shy, wont say why
3. Whenever i feel really good, i cook
4. I make irrational decisions when im angry..... whats odd about it is that i do it on purpose. Im actually an objective thinker
5. When i drive in the rain, my eyes keep following the wipers..... so i turn them off (or to the slowest speed)
6. The last is too personal..... im sorry i cant share. this blog wasn't built to carry that much weight

Hopefully ill tag six bloggers. No promises

Lady Marmalade


Ive been away from this blog for a long time, ive written several notes i would love to post but each one is unfinished at this point. Something happened last week that ive got to put out there.

I was manning the suya stand at a soccer tournament, a girl ordered suya with lots of pepper. As she walked away the wind picked up and blew pepper into her eyes. She shrieked and screamed from the agonizing pain that ensued. I grabbed some water, washed my hands and proceeded to help wash her eyes out. She refused, the girl was in tears, I could tell it hurt like a bitch. I tried to convince her my intentions were just to help, I then gave her the bottle to do it herself...

"It’ll ruin my mascara"

What?

"It’ll ruin my mascara" she said again both times cringing from the pain

What the hell?.....

I couldn’t believe it, what could possibly be worth the potential damage to her eyes?.... perhaps a park full of muscle bound soccer players?
Now that’s just my opinion but ive had this pepper in my eyes before and it’s no walk in the park to deal with the pain.

So I ask, what is the primary motive for girls who take their looks very seriously. Im talking hair, the short-short skirt, the push-up bra, eyeliner, lipstick, taking 30 minutes to decide between the G-string and thong (they are both very small and send the same message). Im not talking of the boob-job liposuction botox obsession here, just the everyday peripherals that gets chucked onto your amazing body (yes it is!)

Ill be asking some friends for detailed answers, not for trivial stuff like "attract boys" or "turn heads". There has to be a common factor that leads to this behavior. Ill return shortly with some replies and then a single theory that explains every answer.

And what do guys truly think of all the effort that goes into these details?
