Everyone is a little weird. Even the most rational minds and disciplined individuals come out with some of the oddest eccentricities.
As an author, I have previously written about 25 of my Weird Bookish Habits back in the middle of 2022, but now that I have begun posting more in this blog, I decided to make things a little more personal: extend the weirdness not just to books, but to myself.
Below is a list of twenty-one weird things about myself. I hope you find a bit of yourself in this list. Let us stand together in solidarity and unite under our individuality and weirdness!
21 Weird Things about Myself:
I always eat blueberries with the stem-end facing my tongue and the calyx end facing the other way. I can never stand it the other way around! The stem end just tastes sweeter! My parents have noticed me inspecting my blueberries since I was a baby... I'm 15 now and still do it!!!
To this day, I believe Froakie is ugly, Chespin has a disgusting voice, and Fennekin is absolutely perfect.
When I think of the phrase "Mock trial," the thing that comes to my mind is not a lawyer or a gavel, but an ink blot resembling a bat (think of of the Rorschach test). I don't know why my mental imagery is like this.
I hurt my feelings with hypothetical scenarios. Real life scenarios don't quite do the same.
Additionally, I don't just hurt my feelings with hypothetical scenarios---I heal them. I imagine myself in scenarios (sometimes fantasy and sci-fi scenarios) where I play a major role. I imagine myself saying witty phrases and eloquent lines. I imagine myself having deep discussions with clever adults and mature students. Sometimes, I even imagine myself creating cures and using science for the greater good. There was this one time where I dreamt of a hypothetical scenario where I worked at STAR labs, trying to save people from dangerous metahumans. People would come to me, fearing the strange, almost "magical" powers metahumans have. In response to their fears of the unpredictability of magic, however, I would tell them, "There is no such thing as magic. There is only such thing as weird science." I would assure them that you could use science to solve problems! As you can see, I feel super smart in these hypothetical scenarios, but when the dull realities of real life kick in, I start feeling stupid all over again. XD XD
I find Scar more interesting than Mufasa.
I think the Pokémon Gallade looks like a walking leek.
I find the act of planning my work very entertaining! It is such a wonderful past time that is productive yet entertaining---sort of like a jigsaw puzzle!
To this day, I still look away when movie characters kiss.
I hate being isolated in a room with an operating Roomba robot. I just hope it doesn't get me...
I often brainstorm ways to impress fictional characters... and always humiliate myself in the end.
I have always preferred World History over U.S. History. Although I was born in America, I just don't enjoy U.S. history as much as World History; when I think of the phrase "World History," the first thing that pops into my head is a vibrant (often blockshade) image of an open storybook with sunrays gleaming from the pages. When I think of the phrase "U.S. History," however, I just envision a black and white image of soldiers standing in single file. Sometimes, a columnar list of random, out-of-context dates flashes into my head. That's one of the things about my mental imagery. :p
I like markers, because they are wet and juicy... I also sometimes wonder what it would be like to bite on the felt tip of a marker and feel the ink gush into my mouth.
I secretly love unicorns and mermaids, not the childish cartoon ones you see in kid's shows, but the more realistic ones you might see in paintings and Stock images. I do not even believe in them, but I still love them!
I get goosebumps whenever I listen to the Alexander Hamilton musical.
I once struggled to sleep because I read a list of TWO-SENTENCE horror stories! I then went on to read some more...
I still try to make my feet align with the tiles. I also try to avoid stepping on cracks on pavement and sidewalks.
My self esteem fluctuates very easily; it takes one hour for me to feel smart yet one minute for me to feel stupid all over again.
I hate when I have to read a book while another person is in the room, even if that person is being quiet. I get very paranoid; I simply do not want people to watch me read. If another person is in the room, I intentionally read much slower so they will not see my eyes and head move along the pages.
I always get into the habit of judging people based on their intelligence and education qualifications... I literally forget about everything else. I even judge myself based on these qualifications. Yeah, this is a very bad habit of mine.
I either love my generation or hate my generation; there is no such thing as something in the middle.
I often daydream about having Halsey's singing voice.
