some quirks AND pet peeves


I am a slightly weird person.
I see a lot of everyday things and don't really seem to make any sense of it.
They are hugs,handshakes and small talk, besides other things that currently I can't remember.
Ok lets start with hugs, I know its supposed to be symbols of warmth and affection but I can't really wrap my head around wanting to be in such close proximity with any one except a beloved. Its just too awkward maybe its coz i'm a girl and (protruding) body parts touching is not something I take to easily so no hugs for me,please.
Speaking of body parts touching, next are handshakes. More rules again, its okay to shake hands over a deal or after business meetings but otherwise its just creepy. Sweaty palms are the least of my problems concerning hygiene especially a guy's, how can one truly know “where” they have been before being extended towards your direction. No handshakes as well.
And the best of the lot-small talk! I'm literally tongue tied, I'd rather be bludgeoned to death than point out things that are more than mighty obvious and pretend to care about somebody's dying cat or dog. Cold, I know but that's just the way it is. I also hate blatant praising (read flattery),baby talk,and most of all anybody trying to act cute with me using baby talk. Basically I dislike talking too much and also people who talk too much,no point saying hundreds of words that you don't mean most of the time eh?
And no, I don't have OCD, neither am I a cleanliness freak, I'm just a weird,cold person who keeps wondering why she doesn't have enough friends.

  1. Hi, just borrowed your "small talk" as an illustration for a lesson I'm making (non-commerical use). By the way, do you have ankyloglossia? If not, you're NOT "literally tongue-tied" but "figuratively tongue-tied". Have a lovely life.
