Last week, I was tagged by Kim of lovely dear daisy cottage fame. This is how the Tag Game works:
Each player of this game starts with "6 weird things about you". Each person who gets tagged needs to write a blog post of their own with 6 weird things as well as clearly stating this rule. After you state your 6 weird things, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you're tagged" in their comments and tell them to read your blog for information as to what it means.
So, if you're interested in knowing 6 weird things about me, read on.
1. I don't drink tea or coffee --- I really dislike them! I always feel rather weird as an adult not to be able to enjoy either of these beverages especially in a world that's gone coffee-mad! I wish I liked tea though so I can drink it in all the lovely vintage teacups I collect...
2. I can't drink milk before noon - it just tastes all wrong - it's O.K. in my cereal though....
3. After eating ice cream, I always have to have a glass of cold milk.
4. I don't like artificial light in the morning -- I find it so jarring! When I was still single, I would get ready for work in the dark all the time; I once showed up at work with two different shoes on....
5. I have an uncanny ability to remember people's faces, for example: if a total stranger's face has made some kind of impression on me in the past for whatever reason, chances are that I'll remember this face if I see the person again in a totally different place at a totally different time. I'll even dream of such faces and remember where I actually saw them...weird...
6. From time to time, I'll see something at thrift shops I've never seen before and then, right after, I'll see it again several times at different shops. Prior to last week, I had never seen a cuckoo-like clock at a thrift store and then, I saw one......and three more at other stores...Well of course, I had to at least buy one!
So, that's it for the weirdness in my life and now I'm suppose to tag six other people. Given my relative newness to blogging and the fact that everyone I know of seems to be getting tagged at the moment, I can only come up with five victims: Emira, Lilli, Sarah and Jane, Michelle, you're it!
(P.S. To all you fans of Japanese fabric and other goodies, if you haven't noticed already, Kitty Craft is up and running again, YAY!)
I saw a cuckoo clock last week too! But it was a boring one. I love the little owl on yours!

I used to have that clock! When I was young. No idea what happened to it. If you see another will you pick it up for me? I'd happily pay the cost and return any favours I can!

Its so fun to read about other peoples quarks... Makes me feel like I am OK... Smiles to you!

That's so cool about your remembering faces so well. I'm like that too, but not to the same extent :)

what a pretty clock! I've never seen any cool cuckoo clocks like that over here :(

I was at Hidden City today. Is your clock from there? Or F.S?
Posted by: Lilli | January 24, 2007 at 10:47 PM
Lilli, your first guess is a winner! I love that store..I'll be going soon again because she's expecting some more fabric...

I have almost the same clock! Too fun! I got mine in Leavenworth, WA. OMG... I agonized for hours on which one to pick. I wanted them all! I have a peek a view shot of mine in one of my Flickr photos (the proverbial basement of my Flickr). I'll have to take a new shot once I'm done repainting.

German manufacturers like Schneider and Kassel made quite a few plastic and wooden clocks of all different sizes, including cuckoos, starting in the late 50s and continuing into the mid-80s. Some of the very small clocks are quite odd- I saw one once which had a spring pendulum with a boy figurine hanging from it.
