  • Idiosyncrasies

    Is there something out there that you are convinced you are the only person in the world that does it?

    I always thought there were a few things that I did that only I did.  The first idiosyncrasy was crushed by Seinfeld.  I can't remember when this started but for as long as I have known, I take my shirt off to drop a deuce.  Then I saw George Costanza doing the same thing.  I felt weird about it but at least I never walked out of the bathroom without a shirt.  This is why I avoid public restrooms.  I have to have home field advantage for that action which sort of ties into my second idiosyncrasy.  I admire my handiwork.  After cleaning myself I stand up and look and then flush but this has just recently started because I have health issues.  I don't know if that is disturbing enough so I'll say it...I lose a lot of blood when I drop a deuce and the doctors haven't figured it out.  They think they get it figured out and then a test result comes back and it contradicts their diagnosis.  Anyway, I haven't been letting on about that but I have been seeing specialists at the UW hospital the past few weeks.  No one knows what is wrong with me and it's fucking scary.  This has been going on for a few years.  I get better and then it comes back worse than the previous time.  Anyway, I should probably stop there.

    My third idiosyncrasy is that when I get warm at my house, instead of shedding my shirt, I ditch the pants.  Lately it's been the opposite.  I discovered a few pairs of my Zubaz pants from when I was in grade school.  They are a little tight and have a few holes in them but they are fun to wear around the house.

    So do you have anything that you do that you think you are the only person in the world to do?

    And I forgot, Saturday was Cat-Purr-Day
