And I type on average of 112wpm. I'm not exciting either, jabs!

Yeah for fast typers! I averaged 109wpm last time I checked.

Out of curiosity, are you a "home key" typist, or do you do your own thing? I'm home key proper, but DH does his own thing and is also very fast.

I keep reading this as quirky farts. Quirky FACT is that although I grew up in Wisconsin, I've never consumed an entire beer. It is gross. Pass the wine!

[abvintage]

Uhh.... Uhhh.....

I have tiny feet. Depending on the brand I can wear shoe size anywhere from a 3.5 to a 6 (with inserts). 5-6 is normal but a majority of my shoes are bought in the kids section.

This saddens me. Last night DH was drinking a beer. I was so jealous. I took a big sniff of it and it smelled so good!

My name comes from the movie "A cry in the Dark." It had Meryl Streep in it and it's supposed to be based on a true story. Fun fact: I have never watched it.

The most beer I have had is a couple sips. I hate the bitterness.

Kinda complicated and weird. If you get disturbed easily keep scrolling.

Not sure where it came from. I noticed it 7 or 8 years ago. Just a random hole in my leg. I can stick a stud earring in there and it doesn't hurt, no blood or anything. That's the only way I can explain.

Interesting... Ever been to a medical professional about it? Just curious.

Haha nope. It's kinda cute, I think I'm gonna keep it.

Another fun fact:I absolutely love pokemon. I own several games and could name all of the pokemon from the first series. I guess 9 year old me never moved on lol.

My mom just found my gameboy a couple weeks ago and I have been playing Pokemon almost daily!

I used this on a fffc on TTGP a while back, I used to be a stripper.

Also MH is the lead singer of a popular metal band.

And for the life of me I can not whistle!

I haven't been able to whistle since I had braces in middle school.

My H is probably a huge fan of your H's band!! He loves metal.

Another fact about me. I've ran 2 full marathons, 5 half marathons, 1 10 mile race, and a handful of 5K's. I have plans to run an ultra in my 30's. An ultra is any distance over a marathon. Most of the ones I'm looking at are just over 30 miles.

That's awesome! I've done a few half marathons, and I want to run a full 26.2 at least once in my life... but there's something so intimidating about 26.2, I think I'd need to be in the right place, mentally, to tackle it.  GO YOU!

I sing my way (softly) through the day. I don't even realize I'm doing it, until someone (usually at work) comments on it. I'm pretty sure I'm seen as "that new girl that sings all the time."

I do this too! Only now it's theme songs from kid's shows...

Yes. Can we just take a second to talk about how catchy the Little Einsteins theme is? "We're going a trip in our favorite rocket ship...."

[jedimomtricks]

For me it's anything from Bubble Guppies. DS1 is OBSESSED.

Like some pp's have said, I am rather boring. But what you don't know about me, is I am a beach bum. I am soo much a beach bum that I moved to the Virgin Islands when I was 30. Shipped my car and sold everything! I was there for just under a year until the money ran out. I couldn't land a job. It was fun while it lasted!!

oh and I share the same birthday as Elvis.

I admire that your tried! I LOVE Key West. I get sunburned too easily to be a beach bum but I've been craving a beach vacation. I blame it on our summer babies.

Small feet over here too! I wear a size 5. I was really hoping during my last pregnancy that they would get bigger. No dice. I have the same hope with this one.

Honestly, I truly believe that training for 26.2 is more about preparing yourself mentally than it is about building the distance. I didn't feel as nervous for my first full compared to my first half which I still find that strange. Your mentality really changes in that 4.5 months of training.

ok, I feel old and boring... I've never played Pokémon - I thought the kids I babysat were nuts for getting so crazy about it. I've also never played WoW and I couldn't get into Dr. Who. I do however love LOTR.

I don't know if this is necessarily quirky, but I like to quilt. I have made one for DD and I am currently working on one as the inspiration for this LO's nursery.

I'm an avid quilter! I was a store manager at JoAnn Fabric a few years ago, and I couldn't look at all that fabric for long before I bought my first sewing machine. Once I finished my first quilt, I never worked on anything else!

[RandomName]

mommakc quilting is on top of my to try list this year. I bought all the fabric, I just can't decide on what kind of quilt I want to make. I really need to just dive in already!

[anaberry]

I speak 3 languages fluently, and on my downtime, I live in Skyrim. If my husband plays one of his games, I default to crocheting my future baby's blanket which will probably be too big. I'm a boss at work, ppl think I'm a bitch, and that makes me feel bad because I'm a sweetie if you really know me. I'm leaving the job this year (after six years!) because I can't deal with other people's shit anymore.

Yeah I feel completely boring reading this. I asked H & he had no clue since "nothing's quirky, it's just you." So I'll go with I once traveled for 24 hours straight & was in 3 countries that day. Started off in Venice (which was a great trip), layover in Zurich, flew into Logan & parted with my group to head to North Carolina (2 more planes, the last being a terrifying puddle jumper) for a wedding. By the time I made it back to MA a couple days later, I had jet lag so bad I couldn't taste food.

This reminds me if the time I flew from Australia to LA. Because of the time difference we actually arrived in LA before we left Australia.

I once did this as well. I flew from darwin to Sydney to LA to Chicago to London to Copenhagen to see my then bf now husband. It wad twice as much to fly going through Asia and up to Europe. I was so confused and sick of planes when I landed. But I did get engaged on that visit so it was worth it.


The only other quirky thing is I have an extremely long tongue. I can stick it out past my chin and almost half way up my nose.

I didn't really know what pokemon was until I volunteered in an elementary school in college.

I'm fluent in American Sign Language - a large percentage of my family is deaf. It comes in handy in the weirdest situations and for some reason I feel more comfortable initiating conversation with a deaf stranger than a hearing person.
