It's true ... Peapod DOES scratch her throat. Even in her sleep sometimes.
Peapod has a few others she neglected to mention:
She can't play an entire song through but has to skip from song to song on a CD.
She rarely finishes a whole cup of coffee ... a few gulps and she's off running to do something (laundry, grocery shopping, mow the lawn, save the whales) but usually manages to get back before the coffee is cold!
Pea loses everything. Everything. Keys, glasses, cigarettes, autos ... she's our absent-minded professor!
Pea does everything at the speed of light. Seven course meal? No problem, give her half an hour. Landscape the yard? Outta her way and give her an hour. She talks 50 miles an hour ... we always wonder where that wit comes from! I've been around her enough to know it's not chemically enhanced but I'm sure others wonder.
Hats. Touques in particular. In a past life she must have been a hatter -- a mad one at that! (Shell's contribution, btw)
Pea has some idiosyncratic rules around footwear in her men. I'll let her explain that one. Basically, tho, she won't date anyone with the wrong shoes.
As for me? I collect soap. And perfume. And shoes. I won't eat the last bit of anything out of a jar or drink the last bit of milk. I can't eat foods that have certain textures (like tapioca). I like ketchup and butter on toast.

OH, and I love the smell of scotch tape!

Why thank you missy. Things have changed around here, just popping in to see if anything caught my attention.
I'm a leftie, too. As for ideosyncracies, I talk to myself, under my breath. I find myself having really involved conversations with absolutely nobody. I also use a lot of hand gesture when I'm talking, and often walk around when I'm deep in thought. A few years ago, I had an office with a long window, and I would notice people standing outside, staring in with confused expressions, clearly wondering if I'd gone mad: I'd be walking up and down, muttering away and waving my arms around like a demented windmill!
I'm also incredibly forgetful; I take my five-year-old son with me when I go shopping, and tell him what we're going for beforehand, so he can remind me. Once I forgot to take him to school - I told his teacher he'd had a cold. When his teacher saw him she asked if he'd got over it, to which he replied " I didn't have a cold, Daddy forgot to bring me," the snitch!

They say right handed people work out of the left side of their brain.....so it means left handed people are the only ones in their right mind
I lose stuff.
I don't even look for my gloves anymore, just buy new ones.
I haven't held onto a set of keys for more than year in my life. The big green truck is keyless because I wanted to go home and had lost my last set of keys. I broke open the steering column with a framing hammer, giving it a keyless ignition.
I have no idea where my sunglasses are. I had them on Sunday though. I think.

When I shut the water off in the shower head and the water starts to come out of main tap (not shower head) I have to put each foot 4 times under water before it runs out.
Don't ask me why but I have done it all my life. Strange huh?

Re: RE: Idiocycracies anyone?
Yeah strange...you're a friggin' whacko...
I am of the sinister variety of handedness as well...pissed me off when I failed penmanship in grade 5 because of it...and I've got a congenital defect in my left eye that makes it look somewhat catlike...kind of cool...but the Christians think I may be the anti-christ...which my official stance on religion does nothing to assuage... :lol:

*takes gulp* Mr. Fucci may I say... *takes another gulp* I am glad you are of the handedness as well.

Strange? No. I lock the door everynight before I go upstairs to bed. I go upstairs climb into bed and then get up and recheck. I have to check even though I know I locked it. I also always turn on/off light switches when I enter a room. My daughter only turns light switches on. I often walk into the bathroom when the light is already on. close the door and turn off the switch (we have no windows in any of our bathrooms) I know the light is on. But I habitually turn it off only to turn it back on again.
Beyond cool I'd say. Vanni. Soooo....single are ya?
j/k.
I'd love to have been able to introduce you to my grandmother. She'd have given up the ghost right there on the spot. She was Catholic. Left handed=evil. Goats=Evil (I had pet goats). Cats= Evil( Love cats and my birth mark is a cats paw). Cat eyes=Evil. I also am the only one in my family NOT baptised. Either I was too sick or the Reverend was too sick. My mom figured it was meant to be. My grandmother thought I had a fully paid 1 way ticket to hell. You and I would have caused her to believe the end of the world was happening right then and there. (it seems I also have a cruel streak. Hmm. Weird)
I have lots of 'habits" or ideocycracies. The tag on the comforter has to be at the foot of the bed. The bed has to be made before I get into it. My bf complains that I don't just roll over. I "fling" myself over. It seems a reasonable explaination to me that it's more satisfing to fling myself around but from the strange look in his eye when I explain it I don't think he understands it.
I'm also a neat freak. There is an order to everything. An efficient way of doing everything. It is best for me to do it the most efficient logical way possible. I can't handle disorder/chaos or mess. Which has made some uncomfortable moments for me at other peoples houses. I've tidied their coffee tables. Their kitchen tables. and their counters. It's not meant to offend I just can't relax with stuff helter skelter. I get rather uhm bitchy.
