  Recently I was “tagged” by Shanny. In my brief reply to her I said that I generally don’t participate in these things, but because it was her I would do it. In agreeing to do this though I stated one limitation, I am not going to be “tagging” anyone else – sorry.

   

  8 Odd Things Most People Don’t Know About Me

   

   

  1.    I am a fussy eater. I only write this because of the opinions of my family and friends. My own personal assessment is different, but that is also a part of who I am.

  2.    I don’t like spicy foods of any type. Mostly I just  like standard American dishes, but the few foreign foods I eat must be as bland and plain as possible.

  3.   I don’t like any type of hot drinks. No coffee, tea or cocoa. It could be the dead of Winter, but I never want anything hot to drink.

  4.   I don’t swim or dance. These two items are basically unrelated, but in my early teen years together they served to define me as a general ‘stick in the mud.’ I was no fun either in Summer or Winter.

  5.    I am a true non-conformist in terms of how I dress. This is my own self-description of course. Some others would choose to say that I am hopelessly out of style because I resist embracing the current fashion trends.

  6.    I am not addicted to variety, or in other words, I hate changes. Whether it’s the way the furniture is arranged, or the route I take in going to work, I generally like to keep things the way they are unless things aren’t working too well in the first place. I once heard a rather snide definition of liberalism as ‘change for the sake of change.’ In this sense I am no liberal.

  7.   I am a very moody person and sometimes I can even be outright depressing to others around me. I try to encourage others with my understanding of GOD’s character as a loving and caring Father, but I also know that sometimes GOD calls us to suffer according to His purposes and He shows His care for us through discipline and correction.

  8.               I am a contrarian of the highest order. As much as I truly yearn for unity and peace, I can always see another side to every conversation or argument.

   

  These traits or characteristics are not all positive and I am by no means proud of most of them. It wasn’t my understanding that I should just list some odd or funny things about myself, but rather I have sought to pull back the curtain a bit and let my cyber-friends see a side of me they may have never known.
