Quirky that's so not me!
Work has been a real bummer the past few days and with PC man also going down with viral fever let's just say things haven't been all that pretty. Amidst all this I also realized I have been accumulating tags at a alarming rate that very soon I will have them coming out of my ears and nose. So I decided to start getting them done one by one before the disaster strikes.
First of all I thought let me make a list of the tags to do,trust me with my memory I am capable of forgetting who my next door neighbor is the moment I have greeted them and walked into the lift . So I am better off making a list. * Scratches her head wondering whether that lady's name was Carla or Marla? Notes to self: Make a list of the same*
1. The lovely Moppet's mom tagged me to reveal a few of my quirkiness (isn't that hard?you all know how totally normal I truly am?) 
2. The kind Nainashley has tagged me to describe my dreams (I can do that for a living,they get absurder day by day)
3. I have been tagged to share my fetishes by NM (I do remember nm!!I'm sorry its taken so long but I'll get cracking)
4. The sweet Lavs long back gave away the "Thinking blogger" award to moi!! (yes totally surprised me and thrilled me as well) I am to give away the same so wait till the secret envelope opens and the names are called out:) *Notes to self: Got to find out whether my favorite ones are already the receipients of the same*
5. Kodi's mom tagged me long long back to share some more top 8 things about Ina. *Looks around apologetically* Getting to it I promise!!
6.ITW tagged me about the Favorite Indian authors list *again looks apologetic slowly shuffling her feet* Long time overdue I know!!!!!
Phew!!Just made sure I wrote this all in the text file ,spell checked it,bulleted it,categorized it,googled it and emailed one copy to self (Um..let's say I utilize official net resources rather wisely and productively) and stored one on the home PC. So time to get cracking on the Moppet's mom tag shall we? I did consult PC man to help me with it (not that I needed any extra help ) just to satisfy my wicked curiosity as to which things about me he felt were quirky. I half expected the diplomatic "You my darling and quirky??nah nah..you are perfect" answer but to my surprise and annoyance I received a big hearty laugh and " Do you want me to list some out for you?" needless to say he followed it up wisely with " That's what I love about you Fuzz". What's not to love about this guy?
Anyway without much further ado here it goes:
1. As revealed by now I thrive on lists. I'm pretty sure my world will come collapsing down without my lists. I have to put down everything I want to do ,be it work or ho
me and even if it means going down to the neigborhood store to get just a bottle of shampoo. I need to put it down and end up even taking a print out of the same. It drives PC man nuts but I just can't help it.
2. I talk to myself A lot!especially so when I'm preoccupied and nervous. I have faced a lot of embarassing moments due to this with people trying to talk to me back in the subway or at the shopping mall with me not realizing it and scaring them off with dirty looks. Now PC man recommends me to carry my Ipod everytime I step outside so I can camouflage this and carry on my ramblings to my innerself without interruptions from the confused public. It works like a charm.
3.
"Thou shalt never rest with thy feet uncovered". I must cover my feet when I sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night if PC man even happens to steal my blanket leaving my feet exposed. If it's not a blanket then it has to be warm socks. I literally develop cold feet whenever I leave it exposed for a long period of time. I can't concentrate or do any work with my feet uncovered. It's like my processing and initiating centre is wired tightly with my sensory connections of my feet. Hence shoes are my best friend. (Gives me just another alibi to hoard some more)
4. I have word amnesia at times. It will most often be very simple words like a street or a bus or even a household item like a vaccum cleaner. A perfectly normal word but it disappears from my mind all of a sudden just like that. I try to get around it,I can point at it or look at it but lo and behold can't word it.
Fuzz- (cleaning the closet) Umm..now I think I need to use that cleaning thing here
PC man- You mean like a broom?
Fuzz- No *knocking her head* no, that thing which is long and black
PC man- Oh I get it,you mean the mop. You want a mop?
Fuzz- No,no, not the mop stupid. The thing which has a long tube which sucks ....which needs to be plugged in.
PC man- (doubling with laughter) You mean the vaccum!
Fuzz- Vaccum!that's it..yes that's what I MEANT !wipe the grin and hand it to me now!
I was pretty much convinced I had some neurological disorder of sorts until my brainy neurologist cousin convinced me otherwise. My IQ Scores also helped me convincing that I was normal and infact even smarter than I thought I was. It's weird,what can I say?
5. I have a strong sense of smell. So much that I can sense what's cooking in whose house just by ste
pping into the apartment corridor or the street. I also need to smell the food first before eating it. If the smell is not inviting I can't eat it. I also have big trouble shopping for perfumes and cosmetics because of the very same issue. I had to suffer because I ended up buying the wrong perfume or cosmetic which invoked the gods of headache on me. I have tearfully given away many a loved perfumes which costed me an arm and a leg to friends who were blessed with a blunted sense of smell than me. Now I try to peel myself off such evil stores which try to lure me into buying them in the first place.
So 5 it is!!that wasn't tough at all. 
See I told you I am completly normal ,not a bone of quirkiness in me. Now pray do tell me you still adore me inspite of these weird confessions!Otherwise I just might be found nervously talking to myself in the perfume section of the mall trying to figure out what the thing inside the fancy bottle is called ,barefoot and having forgotten the printed shopping list back at home . Now that's the stuff my nightmares are made of!

Done the tag, Mam!
Ditto on #3 and #4. I can't sleep with my feet uncovered and can't remember words at times.
I see you tagged me .....looks like its pay back time! Will get to it soon.
hehehe... *that's an EVEEELLL laff, fuzz* me's SO non-quirky!! ;)
loovvveee thy quirks :D and umm... i talk to myself too... but that aint a quirk..! it's just "cute"! [;)]
lol at amnesia! My hubby has that "quirky habit" and let me tell you its not easy to be at the receiving end either when I have to go on with the guessing game. :)
AHa! I need to make a list of all my undone tags too :(
tag done, ma'am! :)
I think you are just normal because I like my feet covered at all times also and my hubby has this strong sense of smell, he can smell things even a mile away(thats what he says and he says he is normal).I have a few tags to do als0.
Fuzz, I do believe you're my long lost twin. Did you go to a mela when you were about 3? ;-)
Aaaaugh! I get word amnesia too. It's worst when I'm nervous. During my last job interview the lady must have thought I was a complete idiot, I could barely get a word right. :( I was starting to wonder if something was wrong with me. Alzheimer's? Dementia? Epilepsy? Rare tropical disease? But since your friend says it's normal, then I guess I'm just quirky too. :)
...darn it, you made me notice that my feet are cold. :p
Hi Fuzzy, so good to read your post again. And don't even ask my list of tags-to-do **shudder**
Btw, you confused me with the name PC man...lol. I was like, who's a PC man :P
Of all your quirks, I am with you on "Thou shalt never rest with thy feet uncovered" :D
Saw Ina' pictures that I missed, so cute. God Bless Her !!
Did the tag.
The list thing was pretty obvious since you started the post with a list of tags-to-do
funny, funny fuzzy! you have such unique quirks! word amnesia! but good thing you dont have tag amnesia - you remembred that 8 things tag from eons ago which I had completely forgotten.

Naina- Didn't the quirks come out just when we thought we never had any?:)you did a great job on that one!!
Rayshma- LOL!I knew you would enjoy this one:)
WITN-LOL!oh I most certainly understand how hard it is to be on the receiving end of a word amnesic. I drive my husband nuts when I do that too:)
Starry- Thank you!Glad to hear that I have company:)What are your quirks starry?If you are done with the other tags then you can perhaps do this one:)
Moppet's mom- Oh my long lost twin!where art thou all these days?*sniff sniff* I certainly remember the mela:)I felt the same when I read your tag!
Anne- LOL!worry not fellow amnesic.Under such circumstance it helps to pretend like we are in deep thought,just crease your brows and get that glassy look in the eyes.It works all the time when I do that during the meetings:)And yes do cover those feet quick!
Ricky- Welcome back ji!tosi kaise ho?Howz edmonton been treating you?PC man is what I call my hubby. I did think of tagging you but I will let you rest on your covered feet to do the other pending tags for now:)
