Are you able to get to each and every one of them at least once a week? And if so, HOW?????<br /><br />My quirks: I can't wear long sleeved tops two days in a row. For some reason they just feel dirty to me. LOL hmmm ...

I just can't stand the sight of a bowl of "used" milk.<br /><br />Now that I think about it, that's fairly strange of me.

One is that I always eat Pop Tarts "crust" first, which means I actually neatly eat all the edges off before eating the part with the filling. <br /><br />I think I need to work on giving my characters more quirks. In my present WIP the character's only quirk is that she HATES to be called by her childhood nickname.Alissa Grossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701189791875707920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-77644588114095250442010-04-20T21:19:47.957-05:002010-04-20T21:19:47.957-05:00Happy anniversary! :)Happy anniversary! :)Amy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083333388180804799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-6686757392121945952010-04-20T21:05:57.048-05:002010-04-20T21:05:57.048-05:00Quirks are funny things.

Hmm, quirks ......Congrats on your blog anniversary! Hmm, quirks ... Probably my biggest quirk is night writing. I'm terrified I'll forget the words if I don't wake up and write it while it's fresh. Even if I repeat it over and over in my head, if I fall back asleep it will most likely be gone by morning.Portiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435815819572442582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-50025952983885196972010-04-20T19:58:02.950-05:002010-04-20T19:58:02.950-05:00Congrats on the two months!

May you have many, many more!<br /><br />My most famous quirk (The Husband would say I have many to choose from):<br /><br />My feet are almost always cold -- my whole body, actually. So I wind up wearing thick socks and jackets or sweaters even in July in Georgia. And no, I am NOT 90 years old and on blood thinners!Cynthia Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128418037470085123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-29491890903061151982010-04-20T18:50:55.352-05:002010-04-20T18:50:55.352-05:00Yes, you must let us in on this secret scheme to g...Yes, you must let us in on this secret scheme to get 400 followers in two months time.

I...Congratulations! 400 followers in 2 months! I'm just as amazed as everyone else. :D<br /><br />I love quirks. One of my quirks: I'm an accent chameleon. I didn't realize it until recently, but I pick up the speech patterns of whomever I'm around. Talking to my family, I pick up the Jersey accent I was raised with; talking to locals in Maryland (where I live) I pick up the slight drawl. It's pretty funny.Shelley Slyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981620646634240160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-62795815888785163762010-04-20T17:14:49.491-05:002010-04-20T17:14:49.491-05:00Congrats on the blogiversary and 400 followers!
...Congrats on the blogiversary and 400 followers! <br /><br />My quirks: I tap the top of a soda can three times with my fingernails before I open it. I have a song or dance for everything, including the Morning Song, Kitty Breakfast Song, and the Chinese Walking Catfish Dance to Express Impatience (there really is such a thing as a Chinese Walking Catfish). The latter weird is rather private, though - not many people get to see it.

At other times, I'm in another world and people think I'm rude. <br />Here's my question: How on EARTH did you get so many followers? I bet you've got a method to your blogging that is very inviting - something beyond the cool A-Z idea. Could you share? I've been going at it since January and am entirely proud of my 33 followers, but I'd like a few more. ;)MTeacresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00381461599028233499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-22443632296556621102010-04-20T12:45:16.593-05:002010-04-20T12:45:16.593-05:00Congrats on the followers!

Why put the dinner dishes in the cupboard and the silverware in the drawer, just to lug it all back out later in the day?<br /><br />Also, I always pop two sticks of gum in my mouth -- never just one. One's chews down too small :)<br /><br />As for my MC, she's a germ-o-phobe. She slathers Germ-X over her hands every time she leaves the grocery store or gym.<br /><br />Congrats again on all your blogging awesomeness!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899768909313326172noreply@blogger.com
