I spent the better part of an hour and a half instant messaging with my best friend tonight on..gag me...FACEBOOK! It was a flashback to high school, for both of us I think. You remember the days of America Online and chat rooms? Thank goodness that's over! Rarely will I succumb to the temptation to IM on Facebook. I should be able to find thousands of interesting things to do, other than IM, right?
Like many things, I am willing to compromise...for my best friend. There are other posts on here that allude to my strong affection for her (her husband also) so I will spare you the gushy details again. My experience hanging out with her *virtually* this evening, inspired me to lighten things up around here...take a break from introspection (or pretend to anyway).
It got me thinking about quirks. The quirky things we love and hate. For the sake of the "lightening" though aaaaaaand in order to focus on the positive, I'm going to set aside the pet peeves for tonight.
In no particular order, here are some of the random, quirky things I
LOOOVE (enough for 3 o's):
* The squeaky sound of fingers running up and down guitar strings. I will download songs for this reason, alone. Check this one out!
* That deep, deep blue of the sky, just before it changes to black
* Hamburgers! Being a vegetarian means I only allow one per year, on my birthday. I think about it for 364 days.
* Merino wool. I'm a snob about it and wear it almost exclusively. ewww
* Neil Diamond. He got the way to move me, Cherry.
*Letters. Writing AND receiving them! I love when people take the time to write a letter.
* Getting dressed up. I spend all day wearing outdoor gear and while I love it, I really LOVE getting waaaaay dressed up. I wish I had an excuse to go to a ball...princess style!
*........... (yep, I love doing the period extenders!)
* History. If I had a time machine, I would waste my opportunity, conflicted in not knowing where to go first.
* Air quotes! Especially when people use them "incorrectly." It kills me!
* Anyone who asks great questions
So, now I'll turn the table. What are your weird, quirky loves?

Oh man, girl I could go on for hours. Yours are funny...I love that air quotes "one." :)
- I honestly love when I can smell a skunk on the highway. I don't want to get sprayed by one, but when you can smell it, you just never know when you will again, so I breath it in!
- Phil Collins. I can't help it!
- Odd numbers. LOVE THEM. They are just SO much cooler in my mind.
Hey now, I'm pretty sure you IMed me first, so who's the one compromising, hmmm?! I have far too many quirks to list them out, and you know most of them anyway :-)
