Well. This is rather difficult. What does "weird" mean? Hell if I know. I guess it shouldn't be things about me that are particularly flattering. Because my first tendency is to say something semi-nice about myself like how eclectic my taste in music is -- which is basically self-promotion. And that's not all that interesting.
So here are six not particularly flattering weird things about me:
1. I really don't know how to cook. And, of those things that I do cook, almost everything contains a) mushrooms and b) onions. This is because I like mushrooms and onions and I'm semi-retarded in the kitchen.
2. I have disablingly serious emotional attachments to the following: Peanuts, Mr. T, my favorite old children's books (The Dark is Rising series), and my cat. I dote on my cat in a way that is embarrassing. It's not like I just talk to her; she, y'know, talks back. Except it's actually me that's talking?
3. I employ the following phrase so often that my roommates are now thoroughly irritated by it:
"I'd give her a mustache ride."[Classy. -ed.]
4. I have sleep issues. Like, I twitch and stuff when I fall asleep, but that's normal. I scream in my sleep often enough that people comment on it. I also have a) leaped out of bed while sleeping, landing on my knees and hurting myself and b) tried to strangle a girlfriend while sleeping (she was OK). I don't know why I do any of this. And it doesn't worry me.
5. Although this blog is largely about politics, I find that I almost always dislike talking about politics with other people.
6. I have a really tiny television and I think the only reason I have one that's so small is out of some sort of misplaced vanity. Getting a larger television would, in my twisted mind, mean that I was a big loser. Of course I could also actually watch shit on it and enjoy it, but whatever.
I tag these six people: Zach, JPS, Ginevra, Miss Tanya, Roger Ailes (not that one), and M.J. Merriweather McBride. And I don't link to MySpace, sorry.
