Idiosyncrasy

Loki: I’ve been noticing some real weird quirks about myself… Like how I cannot get my socks to be tight enough on my feet. I am constantly taking off my shoes and pulling my sock tighter. It needs to be tight and smooth on my toes. Is that weird? I remember doing this when I was a kid too… and my socks would be too big so I would have the excess folded up by my heal. Tell me this is normal.


Stella: Instead of telling you what a freak you are, I will merely point out that you have freakishly weird feet. It’s no wonder that a normal sock, which is made & designed for the average person’s foot, would not fit on your long, bone skinny appendage. There’s nothing wrong with wanting the sock to fit properly, but you should give up on that now... Also, I must note that I can’t look at your feet without shivering at the sight of them. But not everyone can have beautiful pristine feet like me, and everyone has quirks. For example, I can’t throw away something without reading the entire packaging first. You would think I was a marketing major in college or something the way I read every label. Even if it’s just a box of soap or shampoo just like the one I’ve already had before I still read all of the print on the box first. I’m especially bad with toy packaging and food… Like I said, everything I buy. I also can’t stop myself from cleaning up the table after I’m done eating at a restaurant. It’s like I am the busboy needing to get everything swept up and organized so the table can be easily wiped and ready for the next patrons. How is that for unconventional behavior?

Loki: I just saw a preview for a show about a hoarder who has to read every label. She reads it to herself over and over… all the fine print. I think she keeps it in fear that she would need to know the information later. She was reading a dog food label during the preview. At least you can throw it away after reading! I also scratch my throat by making a really loud noise. I know I am not the only one who has this particular quirk, as I am pretty sure I learned this from Chocolate Chip. I just can’t help doing it even though I know I sound like a pig . I don’t understand how other people get rid of the itch in their throat. You obviously cannot stick your finger down there and scratch…Hello gag refluxes! The other weird thing I do (that I can think of right now although I am sure there are many many more) is my inability to listen to someone else speak without picking up on their accent and imitating it. You can always tell who I have hung out with that day based on the way I talk later. I can talk real country fried sometimes… That one is probably the easiest slip I have… Hmm. I wonder why?!! (If you knew me as a child or have seen videos of me as a child you would understand!) I have been known to talk British, ghetto, like Stella, or my other friends who have very different inflictions.

Stella: First of all, why do you have such an itchy throat? My throat doesn’t itch... It is now confirmed. You are a freak. Hah. But I guess my ears hurt & I have to pop them daily (which I’ve had to stop doing while driving since it makes me dizzy.) And APPARENTLY, I have a funny way of talking seeing as how my cousins like to imitate me as well. I guess everything I say is real LOOOONG and DRAAAAWWWNNNNN OUT like it’s 10 syllables… Whatever. Haters.

Loki: You sound normal to me. But Big T has said before, “You are talking like Stella. Stop it.” My throat doesn’t itch all the time, just every now and then. Maybe it’s because I talk too much. Rubbing your ears and popping them daily is weird! I used to think you were telling me I smelled bad when you would plug your nose (to pop your ears.) What do you do when you are on a plane? When we go on our family ski trip will your ears hurt worse then too? Since we are speaking of your ears once again on this blog…maybe it is time to go get them checked out… I am constantly finding that I put on my clothes inside out. Usually it’s just my underwear or undershirts.. I guess I don’t pay close attention while dressing. I also always have mismatched socks on too.

Stella: That’s because you are Lucille Ball. (Why didn’t we just name you LUCY on here?) Also, I don’t know how altitude affects my ears seeing as how I never go anywhere & will probably never ride in an airplane again. But if I ever manage to escape, I will be sure to let you know.

P.S. Do not google images of ugly feet unless you want to puke. And remind me to not let any man I might ever date in the future know that I write a blog that describes in detail what a crazy person I am or I will be destined to never leave Oklahoma to go anywhere wonderful. It’ll have to remain a secret for there to be any chance of me sounding like a normal person and the odds are already against me. Please, please let me see blue water someday….
