Five Quirky Habits Meme

[thehefner]

If you see and read this, please make a new LJ entry with 5 of your weird or quirky habits.

1.) Whenever I think about something stupid I've done, something that fills me with anything from embarrassment to deep shame, I instantly blurt either the names of one of my first two ex-girlfriends or "Constantine." The latter one is because of a Warren Ellis issue of Hellblazer where the villain at the end is so broken and defeated, all he can say is the name "Constantine" and for some reason that stuck with me (yet I don't say "Richards", isn't that odd?). Maybe it's a mild form of Tourettes syndrome, and those three names are my curse words.

2.) Sometimes when walking, I wave my hand around at the wrist in a gesture as if to say, "Carry on with the show." I do it because I did it so often when I dressed up as Bill the Butcher, a move he did several times in the movie. I imagine it looks incredibly poofy.

3.) I pace. I find it very hard to sit still unless there's something to catch my attention, and the thoughts in my head can't seem to move until my body does too.

4.) I sneeze into my shirt. A lot of people seem to think this is gross, but it's cleaner than me sneezing into my hands and then spreading the germs with everything I'm gonna touch. The shirt better contains the spray. And yet it seems grosser. Social habits, sometimes they make no sense.

5.) Whenever I pass a lesbian or lesbian couple in the street, I *always* say aloud, "I wish I was a lesbian." I don't even know I do it anymore. One of these days, it's either going to get me killed or kick-start a musical number.

I tag no one. Be free agents, the lot've ye.

I'd love to know what kind of musical number "I wish I were a lesbian" would start. In fact, I'm having flashbacks to reading Oh No It Isn't! just thinking about it.

The song I got it from was "I Wish I Was A Lesbian" by Loudon Wainwright III. That's the song we'd break out in.

O.o

*does a lyrics search*

.....this?:

I wish I was a Lesbian and not a hetero,
I wouldn't have to mess with men and all their come and go
and all that awful facial hair and yucky machismo!
Ooooh I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero.

I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn't straight,
I would sleep with women only, man it would be great!
I could throw away my diaphragm I wouldn't wanna mate!
Ooooh I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn't straight, hey!

I wish I was a lesbian I'd like to be a dyke,
I would hang with K.D. Lang, Mel Gibson take a hike,
I think it would be nice to love someone who was alike.
Ooooh I wish I was a lesbian I'd like to be a dyke.

I wish I was a lesbian that's why this song is sung,
it shouldnt' have to matter how someone is hung,
other things are more important - like how you use your tongue!
blblblblbl I wish I was a lesbian that's why this song is sung, hey!

(I dare Casey Casem to play this)

I wish I was a lesbian I know it's sad but true,
then maybe I'd understand you guys and all you do,
but if I was a lesbian I wouldn't have to!
I wish I was a lesbian I know it's sad but true, hey

I wish I was a Lesbian and not a hetero,
I wouldn't have to mess with men and all their come and go
and all that awful facial hair and yucky machismo!
(I hate that damn machismo)
Ooooh I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero.
I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero.
I wish I was a lesbian and not a heterooooooo.

That's it! It's even better with the spoken word intro:

"Okay, so I'm riding around in this car with this woman I drive to work with a couple times a week. And I'm noticing she's looking out the window and checking out other women. How their hair looks, what a nice outfit, how round their ass is, and I said "Hey, babe! What's the deal? You're noticing all these other chicks! Maybe... you're a lesbian". She looks at me and says "I wish I was a lesbian". Now at that point I wanted to say "You mean you wish you were a lesbian, 'cause grammatically..." But I let it slide, I didn't want to ruffle any feathers... But you know, that sentence, that rhetort, "I wish I was a lesbian", huh, it kinda got stuck in my mind, kinda gestated there for 7 or 8 minutes, and this tune popped out!"

Loudon Wainwright III, father of Rufus Wainwright. You might recognize him from BIG FISH. They are two of my favorite musicians out there.

Oh hey, that is rather neat.

Don't recognise the fishies, no.

I prefer to change the title to "If I Were A Lesbo" Then put it to the tune of "If I Were A Rich Man." Then I imagine Molina singing it. With the Doc Ock tentacles, of course.

#2 reminded me that I will almost always cover my mouth when I laugh, ever since Mikado and playing a little Japanese kid. Don't you love those things that come from shows or roles?

quirky habits

Here are some of my quirky habits:

1) I act like I'm drunk whenever I am nervous or energetic.

2) Whenever I'm embarassed I strut what I have to offer.

3) When I was a young girl I used to strip whenever someone said "fuck".

4) Whenever I see a heavy set person I always call whoever he or she is big bear. Go Figure?

5) I pace whenever I hear the song Walk like an Egyptian.
