Okay, Me Too
April 3rd, 2007 @ 3:36 pm by Mrs. Plumeria
And here goes… six weird things about Miss Plumeria (but isn’t it all relative? 
).
1. I sound somewhat like a little girl when I talk (voice not content, thankyouverymuch). Unless I have a cold… then I have a husky sexy woman voice. Not.
2. I was so shamefully awkward during my junior high years (braces, telescope glasses, large Disney character T-shirts and leggings with knee socks come to mind) that my MOH calls me her “ugly duckling” til this day. I suppose that’s a compliment in disguise. 
3. I say certain words differently, which is the cause of much good-natured teasing by my friends. For instance, I sometimes say “BAIG” instead of “BAHG” when I pronounce, say, “shopping bag” and “draw-wing” instead of “draw-ing.” … I guess I sound better on paper.
4. My pet peeves include soap scum around the top of my dishwashing liquid soap dispenser top, drinks left too close to tabletop edges, and toe marks left from wear in my sandals.
5. I’m a compulsive Apple/Mac user and will never, ever switch completely over to Windows.
6. I like to take my shoes off and sit on my feet, probably ’cause I’m short and it gives me a boost in my seat. But, at any rate, the habit has served up some nice embarressing experiences at work… I’ll, um, save those for another time!

haha that’s funny. i have the husky voice normally and when i get sick i get the lil girl voice. but that’s cuz i have no energy to speak full volume. 
mac girl here too!!
Similar to Margo, I was going to ask if you were from Wisconsin. I tease my cheesehead FI to no end b/c he says “baig” and “toaaaast.”
I get made fun for the way I pronounce certain words, too. The word “bury” is my archnemesis. My sister and I pronounce it “buh-ry” instead of “berr-y” and we get mocked mercilessly.
And toemarks in my sandals bug me too! Glad I’m not the only one!
AMEN to #5!!!
I say BAIG, too! I usually just avoid the word altogether and say “sack,” although that also makes people look at me oddly…
Nope, I’m not from SD, or from Wisconsin! Hahaha. Oh well! Ah, words are funny things, aren’t they?
For a while, after people pointed it out to me, I used to correct myself hastily every time I said “baig” and now I don’t really care anymore… it is kind of funny when I think about it! And people laughing at me is all right, if I can honestly laugh at myself too!
I take off my shoe and sit on my left leg. It’s partially comfort and partially leverage so I can see above my cubicle lol
i’m the same way with my sandals. i’ve even tried to clean them off…more than once. lol. of course always in private so the world isn’t witness to my insanity
I’m so with you on #1 and #6. But I sit on my feet usually because they’re freezing cold in the office and I have poor circulation >_
ahaha sorry so late but i get made fun of for saying draw-wing too!! and i sit forever with my feet up or under me, any which way that isn’t proper!

About Me: I love all things artsy and unique, and it has become a passion of mine to incorporate these attributes into my wedding (and become DIY royalty in the process). Other than dreaming up projects for the wedding, my latest hobbies include working on my computer, playing with my cute pet bunny, or shopping at Target/Barnes and Noble with my fiance.
I’m barefoot and sitting cross-legged right now at work - they make fun of me a lot for doing it, too. Out of curiosity, are you from Minnesota or North Dakota (or that area)? My FH says “BAIG” instead of bag, too, and he’s from ND.
