Shanti tagged me and looks like I'm almost the last to do this :-)
RULES to this tagging game: People who are tagged should write a blog post of 6 weird things about them as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says ‘you are tagged’ in their comments and tell them to read your blog.
I've been observing and 'snooping around' I notice that many of us share some of the things we may think are weird. I know now, for instance, that there are also a few more people out there who dance in the car when they hear music they like, talk to themselves - with hand gestures too, wash their feet before bedtime (my mum always reminded us to do that when we were children), and dont let me start on the OCD'esque characteristics that are common to quite a few of us!
Nevertheless, here's my attempt at a list.
Weird thing about me number 1:
I sometimes have a problem with simple things. I understand complex concepts easily but I have difficulty to simplify it and explain it to others. When I helped my uncle tutor his classes in college sometimes, I used to get the students to list out the topics they had problems with and then get other students to share their ideas to help the rest to understand it. Then I'd ask more questions and later tie things up for closure. Turned out that's what's called 'facilitating'. Heh.
Weird thing about me number 2:
I love watching 'Bob the Builder' on Playhouse Disney Channel. I still harbour hopes that Bob and Wendy will get together. They were THIS close to getting it on in the episode where Wendy filled in for Bob's Line Dance sick partner. The kids never pick up on the underlying sexual tension between those two...
Weird thing about me number 3:
I love the combination of McDonald's ice cream cone with french fries. I love taking the fries and dipping them into the ice cream cone. In fact, I feel like one now :-)
Weird thing about me number 4:
Because I like my things the way I like them, I used to go ballistics when people move my things. This caused havoc when Chris had a housekeeper clean my apartment as a suprise. The woman told him I 'looked like a hawk who just returned to her nest' when I walked in through the door. I started moving my sofa back a few inches to where it was before, for starters. The rest - sufice to say I keep my own house now.
Weird thing about me number 5:
I have a weird sense of humor. Chris says I laugh at the unfunniest things, yet stay unmoved by a lot of the real funny stuff. I watch BBC Entertainment and get tickled pink. He doesnt. Oh well. His dad didnt make him sit down in front of the TV when he was a little kid to watch 'Yes Minister', 'Yes Prime Minister' and 'Mind Your Language'.
Weird thing about me number 6:
I love crispy fried grasshoppers. Bangkok oh Bangkok....
There you have it. I'll tag some other friends when I can. In the meantime, I tag you, dear reader. Tell us about YOUR 6 weird things! :-)

Forecast or self-fulfilling prophecy?
Birth Date: April 9, 1972
**
*Year* Water Rat
*Month* Water Rabbit
*Day* Metal Horse
*Introduction*
The second part is your personalized month-to-month one-year forecast, which features your very own favorability rating for each month. This rating allows you to instantly see how good each particular month is likely to be for you. It highlights the major influences affecting you each month and includes suggested do's and don'ts.
**
*Part One*
This part is subdivided into two sections. It begins by describing the nature of a Fire Pig year, that is, what everyone can expect from it. This is followed by an outline of how you personally are likely to fare overall, especially in four specific areas: career, relationships, health and wealth.
*Year of the Fire Pig*
Forget everything you know about the easygoing, laid-back, roll-in-the-mud Pig. This is the year of the Fire Pig, and there will be fireworks aplenty. It should be a feel-good year loaded with excitement.
Water is the Pig's fixed element. In Chinese astrology, Water plus Fire equals disaster. Also, the fifth month of the Chinese calendar is the month of the Fire Horse. This will be a time of daring accomplishments and serious calamities.
The Fire Pig is nevertheless a Pig, and we need to remember what that means for us. The Pig is the 12th and last sign of the Chinese zodiac. We have come to the end of the cycle, and it's time to celebrate our accomplishments. Yes, it's party time! Be good to yourself this year; you've earned it. Family reunions, extended vacations and a spa membership are in order.
Like last year's sign, the Dog, the Pig calls us to focus on family. Now we need to concentrate more on relationships. It's a Fire year, a year filled with passion. What a great time to begin a new romance or take an existing one to a new level -- a vacation in Paris or Bali might be just the thing. When is the last time you shared a hot tub with your sweetheart? Make it a priority this year.
The West has its fat cats, and Chinese astrology has its fat pigs. We're talking money! Yes, this is a year to make more than a little, so be alert for opportunities.
It may seem incongruous to link the Pig with scholars, but the association is there; and it's a positive one, due in part to the fact that the Pig's fixed element is Water. This could thus be a very good year for those in academia.
Although Pig is the last year in the 12-year cycle, it is only the 24th in the larger, 60-year cycle. At this point it should be emphasized that 2007 is a Fire year. This is not a year for the faint of heart. On the positive side, Fire provides each of us the energy we need to initiate action, regardless of whether or not immediate attention is required. It is not a time to sit on the sidelines.
Fire and Pig together call us to work on vigorously attacking existing projects and completing them. It is not a particularly favorable time to conceive of and begin new ventures. With the clash of Fire and Water, now is not the time to take a lot of risk. Use the energy of positive Fire to raise your work level to a high intensity, but avoid the foolhardiness associated with negative Fire, and your business interests will prosper.
Since this is a Fire year, those people born in an Earth year will generally fare better than others of their animal sign, while those born in a Metal year are likely to do worse than those born in Wood, Fire, Earth and Water years.
Health issues vary not only by sign but by individual. Your best bet is to visit a Chinese doctor to have your balances checked and get some advice for the coming year. It is a Fire year, so one thing we can say in general is to be on the lookout for signs of stress and a tendency to overextend one's self.
2007 will be an exciting year. We will experience passion and crises on and off throughout the year. The Pig is a go-with-the-flow type. If you follow the Pig's example by enjoying life's pleasures and heating up your relationships, this will be a very memorable year indeed.
