The lovely Jay over at The Depp Effect tagged me for this meme. I've not done one for what feels like an age so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I'm meant to come up with six unspectacular quirks of mine. Quirks, I can do, keeping it to six may present a problem. Unspectacular may present more of a challenge seeing as how I do everything on the spectacular side. However, I shall do my best to contain my natural enthusiasm.
Right, so first up ... what can I pick for number one ... hmmm ... this could be harder than I thought ... no, wait ... ah yes!
1) I like to nibble off all the chocolate from a Kit Kat and eat the wafer last. This isn't because I like the wafer best of all. It's just the best tasting chocolate in the world if you eat it like this. It's not in any other form. Just like this. And there's always a crumb of chocolate that falls down my cleavage which is handy for emergency snacking later.
2) I have the deepest tummy button in the world. Seriously. It's cavernous. Whole nations could be lost in there. Along with the obligatory sea shell from ten years ago, a piece of grit from a childhood fall and a few stray cotton buds. Periodically the Captain suggests putting out feelers to see if finance can be raised to fund an exploratory caving expedition. Does that qualify as quirky? I think so.
3) I like fun handbags. I'm currently sporting a pink one. Actually the downstairs banister is currently sporting it because it would be hard to type with a bag in my hand. My favourite brand of bags would have to be Kipling. I have an embarrassing array of their monkeys now.
4) I like the number eight. It's a pleasing word and fits well with me. My first name starts with the eighth letter of the alphabet. I was born on the eighth of the month weighing eight pounds eight ounces. I got married in nineteen eighty eight. I think that's more than enough to make it a quirky thingy.
5) I have a compulsion to fill every available space when packing a suitcase. The Captain would regard this as more evidence of anal retention but I like to think of it as a charming quirk. It leads to allsorts of charmingly quirky rows and arguments.
6) I like to kiss whoever is following me through a kissing gate. This is fine if it's someone I know but can be disconcerting for total strangers. Funnily enough, the Captain tends to insist I go through first these days. Tsk, he has no sense of adventure ...!

"And there's always a crumb of chocolate that falls down my cleavage which is handy for emergency snacking later." ROFL! That always happens to me, too, whether I'm nibbling the chocolate off something or not!
Amazingly, I also love the number eight, though in my case not for any good reason, and I adore Kipling bags. I have two with me right now on my holiday in the US. I have the damson coloured rucksack for my flight bag, and a pretty lilac bum bag - what Americans call a 'fanny pack'.
Thanks for taking part! I'm going to follow up your victims' links - after all, if you like them, so might I!
Ummm...reading that was a bit unsettling as I can say ditto to numbers 1-5.
We're not as freaky as we thought, apparently!
1) i do the opposite of this with stuff. for example, if i loved the chocolate, i'd find a way to eat the wafer first. i'd.find.a.way.
2) you and my husband. that's worrying.
3) i like pocket-y ones.
4) mine's 4!!!
5) definitely a twin thing.
6) what the heck is a kissing gate? when you show me, i'm not going through until after you and the captain are safely ahead of me, and then antonio banderas should go just before me. no wait, duh - david tennant.
YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! -1 point.
Jay - I once found a piece of melted cheese ...
Kimberly - either that or we're minority freaks who have found each other :)
Holly - you're right, that *is* worrying ... and we should get onto that twin list ... and a kissing gate is, wait, that's why I put the photo link in ! ... and the capitals are scaring me ...!
Oh exciting. And how did I get so behind? bad Jo. I do that wth kit kats too, weird isn't it, and Club biscuits. Yum.
My tummy button is quite deep also but I've never lost anything in there as far as I know..
Fabulous meme dwahrling, hee hee. I'll have a go at it.
Ah I shall take this on board ad save it for a day when I have nothing to post about. Hope that is okay with you dear Belle. Ta hen!
