Thanks Dith, for explaining what a tag is... very subtle too. I've never understood about tags... and I'm wondering if I've been tagged before and someone is thinking I've ignored it. Apologies if I've been a tag dag.
Obligatory bit here:
Once you are tagged you MUST write a blog entry about your 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next six people to be tagged and list their names.
1. I made up a language that our family uses at home. One day my son came home from primary school (a while ago..he's 27 now) saying a joke rhyme about languages that went something like “Chinese, Japanese and Dirtyknees”. This got me started on teaching the kids to talk "Dirtyknees". It became a language with words made up or grabbed from any other language. We got so used to talking it that we forgot when we had visitors and they often looked at us very strangely. Examples of dirtyknees “pukadakukadas” is pancakes, “chussabussa” is cheese, “crumky” is cream
2. If someone says something and there is just a remote chance of a different meaning or ambiguity I always take or do the one I expect to be wrong. For example if I'm on my back and a physio is pushing down on my leg saying try and raise your leg. I'll always raise the leg he's not pushing on. I think this is the same thing as Dith's No.5
3. Often when driving in the summer I put my arm out the window. The wind blowing against my bare arm makes the skin go all wrinkly and I shout out “Old man arm, Old man arm” much to the amazement of whoever's in the car with me.
4. I have just bought a ute after wanting one for 35 years. When I drive it, I put my cap on with my business logo on it and I feel transformed to a stereotypical loud, back-slapping, beer swilling, body noise making bloke. When I stop driving and take the cap off, I'm back to normal. Maybe this happens to everyone who drives a ute and isn't weird?
5. When I'm drawing a coastline on a map I often imagine I'm a bird flying above it and I can see the rocks, shells, sand, waves etc as I trace along all the little curves and indentations of the coast. I sometimes wonder what God felt like when God made the world.
6. Wattle trees are very common in Oz. Some varieties often have globules of translucent gum that has exuded from the trunk and remain as hard blobs stuck to the tree. Whenever I see one of these about acorn size globs I grab it and eat it... It's tasteless and chewy and I've always eaten them.
