Why are YOU eccentric?

[Ruby Falls]

That sounds reasonable.

[Ciararavenblaze]

reasonably eccentric?

[Ruby Falls]

Organized chaos?

Jumbo shrimp?

Squishy washboard?

(I love thinking up oxymorons. Woo!)

[Ciararavenblaze]

a word of advice regarding oxymorons: to military folk and their spouses and children, "military intelligence" is freaking OLLLLLLLLLD.

/army brat!

[Garneta]

That sounds reasonable.

A reason I'm eccentric...When I read the above quote, I said it in my head in a Homestar Runner accent/voice. "That sounds ree-zon-uh-bull!"

(Well, he DOES say that line in one of the episodes!)

[Ciararavenblaze]

I'm eccentric because I like this flash movie (click "pop-up" underneath "play this movie!" for better viewing results) and find myself quoting Bambee all the time. "bird!"

I ordered character shoes a size too big. My feet are pretty big in the first place, so the shoes are enormous. I did, thankfully, get some shoe inserts so they fit now.

I have the ability to pull together a decent paper in the span of a few days, regardless of the fact that I'd been given all semester to do it.

I dunno if that's eccentric, resourceful, or just plain stupid, but whatever works.

[Ruby Falls]

Perhaps it's a bit of each.

[Ciararavenblaze]

whatever works!

I seem to enjoy tap-dancing to Sweeney Todd music.

[Ciararavenblaze]

I find myself imitating the actions of people in videos to music that I listen to regularly. whether they're dancing, playing an instrument, or whatever. though if they're at a piano or something, said movement is pretty limited, as I don't imitate the playing-the-piano bits.

[Ruby Falls]

I get very jumpy during overtures.

[Ciararavenblaze]

hmm... let's see. I'm running out of eccentricities.

so, um... does anyone else think the following quote is eccentric? I do, but I like it.

this is like making love under a microscope. I've done that--I've actually done that before.

[Ruby Falls]

Yes, that is eccentric and quite funny.

When I post on forums, I can't leave with a number with a "4" or a "9" at the end. For example, if I had a count of 239 posts, I'd have to post one more. I don't like the look of numbers like that. I do hope that I explained that properly.

[Ciararavenblaze]

well, while I'm not the same way with numbers, it makes perfect sense to me, because I tend to really favor even numbers over odd ones. but like... $12.55 doesn't bother me because it's an "even" amount of money. at least you're not given a bunch of pennies when you could have a nickel or dime or quarter.

[Ruby Falls]

Yeah, I used to have the strangest behaviors that all had to do with my feelings towards certain numbers. I don't like ending with numbers ending with "4" or "9" because they look as if they're tipping over an edge.

[Ciararavenblaze]

when I sing along with my favorite singers, I imitate them right down to how they pronounce their words...

...which leaves me singing "but I have to get to teexees, said I have to get to teexees" with Tori Amos during Black Dove.

[Ruby Falls]

I do the same thing, Cyndi. My sister gets driven crazy whenever I insist that she's pronouncing the words to a song incorrectly.

[Ciararavenblaze]

well, my inclination to sing exactly like whoever I'm singing with has led to some rather entertaining moments--like when I'm singing along with Tori Amos (again ) to, say, the Welcome to Sunny Florida performance of Concertina.

see, instead of "clouds descending", she sings, there, "cleeeoooods descending". !
