Random Thoughts

Enough about me!!
Arpz tagged me to do eight weird things about me. And Anshul tagged me to do 10 facts/habits about me. I am just going to group them together and put out a random assorted things you should know about me -
And yes, you shall be subject to a quiz!
1. I hate phone conversations. Just do. If I call you or talk with you on the phone, you should thank the FSM. I am known to call people up, ask a question and after getting the reply- hang up :) No small talk. After a call with my parents (the longest conversations I have), I am known to hole up in my room or office and not talk with anyone for hours on end.
2. I am not afraid of dying. Or Aging. Death is inevitable. If I die tomorrow, I will die happy - content with my life. And about aging, most people who have known me since I was a kid will attest that I was born old. I am just hitting the age I was meant to be :)
3. I don't do emotions well. I am uncomfortable showing love, hate, anger, pity or sympathy to anyone. It's not that I don't feel it. I have to process things before I can project them. So if I said thank you after you said, "I love you", please just give me day to take stock of my feelings and reply :)
4. I don't do drugs for fear of losing control. I drink but I hate getting drunk. A buzz is good but nothing beyond that. The reason, I hate losing control :)
5. I have a high pain thresh hold level. But I hate pain and would want the drugs then. I have sustained bone fractures and bore the pain for more than 16 hours on at least a couple occasions :) But once the doctor started fixing it, I yelled "Bleedy Murder, Knock me out!"
6. I can do without talking to another human being for hours on end. I have sat through parties/gatherings with a book in hand, burrowed in a corner reading and totally oblivious to the noise and people around me. I can do this without the book, too.
7. I always answer nothing - when asked what's new? What are you up to? I have no talent for small talk. And I would rather people come directly to the point. Exception - Don't ask me - when I am getting done? Graduating? moving? And more importantly - going home! Just don't...
8. I am happy 99.99% of time. The other 0.01% I swing between being pissed off and sad. For the most part I can't hold on to negative feelings. BTW- just because I am happy does not mean I am cheer leader for LIFE! I don't do - aren't you glad to be alive and isn't life peachy keen remarks. Life sucks. You can take that with a smile or a frown. I do it with a smile.
9. I talk to myself. I also do alternate conversation in my head. So if you see me smirk - I thought something funny.
10. I have A.D.D. So most of the time, you are talking - I ain't listening. So be sure to say certain cue words to reel my attention back in :P
Now to spread this joy: I tag
QSG
Neihal
Aarti
Kaushik
Shek
HAN and Lalit -- who are doubly tagged now. Both by Arpz and me! Get to it all of you!

Great - one weird person tagging the other! Good job! ;)
You can't make small talk? Wow - I am the queen of talking. And I always have the darn phone stuck to my ear. Always! :D
Will do the tag shortly - I think I did something similar earlier... ;)

That is true. And you do it if there is just one other person with you, too.
Btw- You have to post on those childhood injuries! Those are funny stories.

Why am I tagged? I am not weird.
In fact tag yourself again, and again, till the count reaches somewhere close to 100 points about you. I think you can easily write 100 weird things about yourself.
So, go! Get to work. You are tagged!

@HAN- Sigh! Dissent!
@Arpz- That's what I thought reading your blog :)
@SD- Some think it is bad- because I don't let life affect me much :)
@ Rebellion - Facts/ habit..kuch bhi chalega. Likhna sirf :)
@Neihal - #10 - Sonya and I share it and we both bitch most of the time about how the other person never listens :)

Rude Interpretations
1. With my vibrator
2. I was born wrinkled
3. So kiss me, by the time i take stock of what happened, it'll be tomorrow
4. (was gonna say something really rude here but saks u r excused)
5. So if you are a pain in my behind...ur gonna stay there long. PS. bear the aroma
6. I carry my plants around
7. I am boring..in continuum with 6
8. But yet happy
9. A loner so that explains 7. And between 7 and 9 lies a contradiction. I am weird
10. 10,1 and 6 could suggest i am partially deaf. So "cue words" = LOUD words

#4 Thanks.
#5 - They are not smelly!
#6,- Yes, boring I am :P
#8- But happily I do that.
#9- I prefer my own company. Only a weirdo could put up with a weirdo like me :D
