I've been tagged!

So I've been tagged by my friend Tina from over at My Own Party of 5.

The rules are:
1. Link the person that tagged you.
2. Mention the rules on your blog.
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger's blogs letting them know they've been tagged.

My 6 unspectacular quirks:

1. I am obsessive about keeping my nails clean, straight, and even. If I break one, they all get cut to the same length. And I take my time cutting and filing. Ask Steve. If he sees me starting my nails, he knows he's got at least a half hour to do his own thing.

2. I have a thing with smells. I inherited a very sensitive nose from my mother. At times, this can be a good thing (i.e. identifying ingredients in food), but most of the time it is a bad thing. When I go to the movies and am close to the girl/guy that doesn't understand that one spritz of a perfume/cologne is enough, I get nauseated and it eventually turns into a headache which does make me physically ill. I wish more people understood the fine art of minimalism when it comes to frangrances. Oh, and the fine art of using deodorant!

3. I have handwriting so neat it has been confused with a font several times.

4. I'm like Tina in that I have to be doing something. I don't ever just sit and watch a T.V. show. I read, do my nails, work on a crossword, do laundry, straighten up. The only time I sit and devote attention to a screen is in a movie theater when I've paid a fortune to be there!

5. I have a pen fetish. No, I do not like to get freaky with pens. Think of a person with a shoe fetish who just can't resist looking and buying. That's me and pens. I have hundreds of different types and I'm always looking my new favorite.

6. If I could live in a bookstore or library, I would! I love to read. I love learning new things. When I grow up, I might have to go back to school to be a librarian. =)

Well, I can't tag 6 people because I've only been at this a few days and the people I know that do have already been tagged. Thus, the chain stops with me. I'm lame! =)

About your #4...so glad I'm not the only one..Nick gets irritated about it, says he's never met anyone that couldn't sit still while watching TV. I've tried and actually wound up literally twiddling my thumbs. My hands HAVE to be doing something.
