Tagged: Ten Things
Omg, Umm Layth actually tagged me! *blush* *feels lump in throat* No, like seriously. I’m actually touched! Man, that’s one weird thing already - moved by simply being tagged. And lookie, that was a pun in itself too! :P Heh, anyway, I doubt I’ll get through to #10 with an impressively radical list but I shall try my best to complete it, insha Allah.
Here’s the iron rule:
People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks!
1. I love speaking in broken English. I no no why. It’s become such a habit with a few online friends that it sometimes feels weird when I chat properly with them. But I get a real kick out of it in person too.
2. I eat fries two at a time. Pick two of about the same length, dip in sauce (or hot-fudge sundae, whichever is more readily available), munch. Mmmm. Fries.
3. I’m a hoarder. Thankfully, not the over-compulsive kind. But yeah, for example, I’d keep sent emails from 5 years ago “just in case”. Or that Theatre Sans Fil Lord of the Rings ticket stub from 1992 I keep in my little tin box “for memory’s sake”. Hmm, apt time for spring cleaning, no?
4. I save my work every two minutes - and that’s on good days, it can be every two words. It all started once upon a time when MS Word crashed just as I was about to complete my essay then save, with the deadline less than three hours away. I cried, and even made my mum cry, lol. Ever since, I’ve been a compulsive Ctrl+S-er. Ooo, sounds like a superhero!
5. My siblings have a plethora of nicknames for me. Well, maybe not “plethora”, but I just wanted so bad to use that word! Which might be another weird thing in itself eh. But yes, they do come up with some off the key names for me. Currently, these stick: Lin, Remy and Instinson. I remember being Veronica for quite some time.
6. I love my brother. Ok, he does seriously annoy me, if not downright piss me off, a lot of the times. But the whole “I despise my brother” is such an act. Awww.
(To any of my sisters who might be reading this: Remember, it’s ten weird things or little known facts about me. It’s obvious I love you guys a whole lot more, second only to mummy and your children. :P)
7. I love Beaker from the Muppet Show. Especially when he sang Feelings. And no, it’s not because I’m narcissistic.
8. I’m easily pleased. Yup, that sounds good enough.
9. I’m doing this list. Can it get any weirder than that? (Stop nodding your head that hard, Kawla. It might come off. Tsk.) Ok, scratch that and put “I’m a boring geek”. It’s something I’m slowly coming to terms with. If there’s a BGA (Boring Geeks Anon) support group out there, please let me in. I can come out of this, I swear!
10. I try. Hard. All this wit? Sure, it looks natural (to the untrained eye). But it comes and continues with effort, real effort, my friends. I’m a firm believer in light-hearted moments dispelling tensions of any kind. Except, you know, in über-serious times. Like, “Ma’am, there’s a nuclear missile headed for our city!”… “Oh. Sooo, two men walked into a bar…”
See. I tried.
My six chosen ones are (pick wisely, Ed, you might lose a friend at the end of all this!) : echoes, Witness2dTRUTH, Traveller, Abu Ilyaas, Tasmiya and uhh, Abu GG. Hmm, not quite the usual suspects but I selected based on the fact that some have already been tagged by others (the same reason Kawla didn’t tag me - or so I consoled my fumbling heart) and also on blogging frequency (really!). I anticipate some wicked lists from my tag list! :D
Jazakumullahu khair in advance, folks.
“(Stop nodding your head that hard, Kawla. It might come off. Tsk.)”
I have soup when I read that Eddy. I no could nod my head. You lie upon me!
See, the reason why I didn’t tag you was cause I knew you were gonna pull me into this weird list of yours, somehow :P Nah, you would’ve been the first on my tag list man, but Umm Layth got you first. No hard feelings though, I already know you’re much more weirder. Haha.
“I’m a firm believer in light-hearted moments dispelling tensions of any kind. Except, you know, in über-serious times.”
That’s one of the things that I truly admire you for.
Love ya!
Yeah, I tagged her first :P you nerds. I’m not here to seperate you okay? Lol
Btw, interesting enough I also eat french fries two at a time! Man and a hamburger and french fries sound so good now. Sigh
mashallah, yours was nice, not nerdy @ all :) fyi i like to eat french fries with mustard it’s a trinidadian thing ;)
eddyyyyyyyy
i miss youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
How can I beat 2 same length french fries?
I am not that interesting/random. *sighs*
I don’t know if I’m putting my list up now hehe
So what happens if at the end, there is only ONE fry left? :)
Kawla, I know you do nod head inside head. You get or no? It mean you do it like metaphor. Sheesh. I love you too. :h
Umm Layth, lol, nothing can separate us anyway. We’re just too mad to be mad at each other. Oh and yeah, eat healthy! No grease, please. This message brought to you by the kid-in-you. :P :)
muslimahnyc, eh. Does that mean you were expecting nerdy?! *mock horror* Hehe. I still thought it was though. I aim to nerd. Hmm, well mustard is technically a sauce, right. But I should try that some time!
Oh and btw, I just added your blog to my blogroll, missed you out somehow, sorry.
Mariyaaaaaa, I miss you too! Eh I msged you just earlier but you disappeared. *poof* :(
Salafiya. Post it up. That’s an order. *glares*
Tasmiya, I’d bend/break it into two! Hah. ;) Actually I don’t remember the last time I encountered such an ending. I might’ve taken three of them at the same time. Hehe.
Hallo.
You so funny. I like to eat the French fries with the sundae too. Me thought I was only weird one but we like two peas in pod. (bun) lol.
Hallo Kalam! Eh. If we two pea I no think we fit one pod gig3. You maybe sit outside pod. :P Why you no blog? This you say from last time you want blog but now still no have. Sigh. I no no what say anymore.
haha..2,4,6 and 8 (!) - me too :P
i’m flattered that you’ve tagged me :P hmm…i’m gonna have to think about what to reveal and what not to…hmm..:P
I can totally relate to you liking Beaker. Him and the chef were childhood favourites of mine.
By the way you owe me the five hours it took me to respond to your tagging.
Ooh I got tagged! Thanx edddddyyyyy! :)
Now i gotta come up with some 10 things about me… hmm..
Like your list btw. You sound so cool masha Allah :)
assalaamu alaikum maw aha,
this should be interesting, lol. thankyou for tagging me :$ ditto for 1, 3 and 8 lol, masha’Allaah your list is great, lol.
Traveller, it’s great to know you can point out even numbers. 2, 4, 6, 8, who do we appreciate? :P
Abu Ilyas, and I thought *I* took long with the list! You know, the Swedish chef might do better saying Ikea designer names. Did you know Ingvar Kamprad is world’s fourth richest? Another one of those fast fascinating facts! (It’s not my fault I can only associate Ikea with Sweden. Sweden with Ikea? Eh?)
Witness, you’re welcome! And thanks for liking my list. I try innit!
kati, wa ‘alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh! Yeah, I no can wait see you list! You lol here many, wait you list I lol more!
It’s interesting how we all think there’s only a certain level of weirdness to us and then through this perhaps “cheesy” process, you discover a bit more. But what’s cooler is when you realise others share some of your quirky habits. You might not have considered them completely unique, but it’s nice to know it’s not too out of this world either.
Thanks for being good sports, you guys. :)
Salam,
Maybe I get the blog in the summer (if you lucky)
[...] Anyway, Editor has “tagged” me and so here’s my response. [...]
Oops! Sorry about the ping-back.
I had to edit all my old posts to get the pictures back after the transfer to MP and I guess I’ve just pinged a lot of people in the process.
BTW I just found out that if you try to export to WP it’ll only accept the first three months worth of posts, which is kind of stupid. So I guess WordPress isn’t as amazing as I first thought.
Tsk. You’ll rue the day you gave me a ping-back!
It’s all right, now people can have the direct link to your list when they check mine.
And hmm @ WP fact. Hmm indeed.
