WeirdBear?

Well my good friend AtM, whose blog Cheaper Than Therapy is most entertaining, tagged me almost 10 days ago with a meme (??) to write about 5 things about me that are weird. Unfortunately, I forgot about it (OK so really I got lazy, what's your point?), and since Mom is probably ready to put me on restrictions, I am finally getting to it!


First off, everyone should already know that ShoalBear doesn't like being called weird. She prefers the term Unique! So, just HOW unique am I?

1) I definitely do NOT act my age. It's so bad, that people are always absolutely shocked when they hear how old I am, and some even think I am kidding. Personally, I think it is better to be old and act young, than to be young and act old!

2) I am a geek. Not a total geek, mind, but a geek nonetheless. I have a smartphone, and just got one of those convertible laptops. I drool over tech things, and think that one of those binary clocks or watches would be AWESOME to have! (Come to think of it, I really DO need a new watch...wonder if EBay would have any)

3) I enjoy logic puzzles. NO, I LOVE logic puzzles. I suck at doing them, but I love them, and can waste hours and days on them!

4) Some people would say it is weird that I have always loved country music....but it is true.

5) I have VERY bizarre food rules that must be obeyed. Well...maybe obeyed is too strong a word, but I am very particular. If a food looks "strange" I won't eat it. If the name sounds "weird" I won't eat it. If I ever thought it wouldn't taste good I won't eat it. If I ever ate it and didn't like it I won't eat it. Fortunately, I don't make others suffer....if I don't like what is being served, I am big enough to get off my ass and go get me something I can eat :)

WHEW...this only took me like 5 hours! Well....ok that procrastinating thing combined with a kewl new logic game kinda sorta got in the way. Anyways, I am done!

And Mom already tagged someone else....so I am just gonna drop the ball completely on that. Maybe someday she will explain this whole "meme" thing to me.

If I ever grow up that is....

Remember....what??

I had the perfect idea for my next blog....and now I can't remember it to save my soul!

This is unbearable!

I can't figure out where my wiring is messed up, but it is. I am a moderately intelligent person. I mean, I am going to college and everything. Yet I can't remember the simple things.

On the plus side, my friends don't mind so much. The day after a knock-down drag out fight, I don't remember what we fought about. Hell, I am lucky if I even remember that we fought!

Well, I do have fibromyalgia, and I know that those of us with it do have memory lapses. Heck we even call it Fibro Fog! So, I guess I won't let it worry me too much, but it does tick me off!

"Safe Place"

OK, I know it isn't just me....I have proof it isn't just me. But I can't bear it when I put something in a "Safe Place" so that I can find it easily when I look for it next. Unfortunately, many times when I do need that something, it is not to be found. And so the hunt begins!! My most current search is still going on. I am trying to find a bracelet someone made for me, and I put it in a "Safe Place, in the hopes that when I needed it, I could grab it fast. Especially since I need him to make a few adjustments. It is most gorgeous and something I have wanted for years, and now that I have it, I can't friggin find it!! Boy, you should have heard the growling going on around here today! Sometimes I worry it is early alzheimers setting in. That or I am using up all my remaining brain cells in classes. (Well, some of that stuff IS hard and intimidating!)

Has this happened to you lately? Leave your story in my comments area. Heck, if it hasn't happened to you lately, just tell your most memorable....or tell us both stories!

Well, now that I have growled about it here, I do feel a bit better.

But when, oh when, will I learn to STOP putting things in a "Safe Place"??

Crocs

Crocs

OK I just can't understand this latest fad in shoes. Does no one else realize just how ugly they are?

And yet, I just placed an order for a pair. They are supposed to be comfortable enough to make up for the ugly, but let me be the first (that I know of) to say that within ten years we are going to be wondering what the hell we were thinking.

I understand the bottom of the shoe, that is where the most comfort seems to be if you ask me. But why in the name of all that is sacred must they use the same material for the top side? That is what is most visible when it comes to shoes. Why can't they make them attractive?? And am I the only one who realizes this? I know I can't be, yet everyone seems to have a pair.


Even my best friend Linda has a pair. She is the one who talked me into buying a pair. She claims that they are the most comfortable pair of shoes she ever owned. Now if you can't trust your best friend, who can you trust?

But I still question these shoes being "stylish". Who decides these things? Whoever it is needs a reality slap upside the head!

Now if anyone can explain any this to my little bear mind, I would greatly appreciate it!
