"But Alice had got so much into the way
of expecting nothing but out of the way things
to happen that it seemed quite dull and stupid
for life to go on in the common way."

PJ tagged me with the 6 weird things about me meme. I laughed when she did, as I thought this would be an easy meme because, there are a lot more than 6 weird things about me. I think weird is a compliment. The definition of weird is: weird (wîrd) pronunciation adj., weird·er, weird·est. 1. Of, relating to, or suggestive of the preternatural or supernatural. 2. Of a strikingly odd or unusual character; strange. 3. Archaic. Of or relating to fate or the Fates. n. 1. 1. Fate; destiny. 2. One's assigned lot or fortune, especially when evil. 2. often Weird Greek & Roman Mythology. One of the Fates. tr. & intr.v., weird·ed, weird·ing, weirds. Slang. To experience or cause to experience an odd, unusual, and sometimes uneasy sensation. Often used with out. [Middle English werde, fate, having power to control fate, from Old English wyrd, fate.] weird'ly adv. weird'ness n. SYNONYMS weird, eerie, uncanny, unearthly. These adjectives refer to what is of a mysteriously strange, usually frightening nature. Weird may suggest the operation of supernatural influences, or merely the odd or unusual: “The person of the house gave a weird little laugh” (Charles Dickens). “There is a weird power in a spoken word” (Joseph Conrad). Something eerie inspires fear or uneasiness and implies a sinister influence: “At nightfall on the marshes, the thing was eerie and fantastic to behold” (Robert Louis Stevenson). Uncanny refers to what is unnatural and peculiarly unsettling: “The queer stumps … had uncanny shapes, as of monstrous creatures” (John Galsworthy). Something unearthly seems so strange and unnatural as to come from or belong to another world: “He could hear the unearthly scream of some curlew piercing the din” (Henry Kingsley). Thesaurus - adjective 1. 1. Of a mysteriously strange and usually frightening nature: eerie, uncanny, unearthly. Informal spooky. See fear/courage, usual/unusual. 2. Deviating from the customary: bizarre, cranky, curious, eccentric, erratic, freakish, idiosyncratic, odd, outlandish, peculiar, quaint, queer, quirky, singular, strange, unnatural, unusual. Slang kooky, screwball. British Slang rum, rummy2. See usual/unusual. 3. Causing puzzlement; perplexing: curious, funny, odd, peculiar, queer, strange. See usual/unusual. I also consider the word strange to sometimes be a compliment. strange (strānj) pronunciation adj., strang·er, strang·est. 1. Not previously known; unfamiliar. 2. 1. Out of the ordinary; unusual or striking. 2. Differing from the normal. 3. Not of one's own or a particular locality, environment, or kind; exotic. 4. 1. Reserved in manner; distant. 2. Not comfortable or at ease; constrained. 5. Not accustomed or conditioned: She was strange to her new duties. 6. Archaic. Of, relating to, or characteristic of another place or part of the world; foreign. adv. In a strange manner. [Middle English, from Old French estrange, extraordinary, foreign, from Latin extrāneus, adventitious, foreign, from extrā, outside, from feminine ablative of exter, outward.] strange'ly adv. SYNONYMS strange, peculiar, odd, queer, quaint, outlandish, singular, eccentric, curious. These adjectives describe what deviates from the usual or customary. Strange refers especially to what is unfamiliar, unknown, or inexplicable: All summer I traveled through strange lands. Peculiar particularly describes what is distinct from all others: Cloves have a peculiar aromatic odor. Something that is odd or queer fails to accord with what is ordinary, usual, or expected; both terms can suggest strangeness or peculiarity: I find it odd that his name is never mentioned. “Now, my suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose” (J.B.S. Haldane). Quaint refers to pleasing or old-fashioned peculiarity: “the quaint streets of New Orleans, that most foreign of American cities” (Winston Churchill). Outlandish suggests alien or bizarre strangeness: The partygoers wore outlandish costumes. Singular describes what is unique or unparalleled; the term often suggests a quality that arouses curiosity or wonder: Such poise is singular in one so young. Eccentric refers particularly to what is strange and departs strikingly from the conventional: His musical compositions were innovative but eccentric. Curious suggests strangeness that excites interest: Americans living abroad often acquire a curious hybrid accent. See also synonyms at foreign. Thesaurus - adjective 1.

Dale came up with a few others but I told him: “There are just some things they don’t need to know.” He replied: “ You don’t want them to know your Dale Jr. collection is bigger than your Tony collection, do you?” I bristle. “ Shhhh. Only because there are more cool Jr. cars available.” I lift one eyebrow and look him straight in the eye… “And we are not even going to bring up the Gordon cars, now are we?”

I am an outspoken NASCAR Extreme Fan. I alway have something to say, ranging from 0 -180 and back on the IQ scale, in 6 seconds flat.
All of my NASCAR predictions are based on the Astrological charts of each driver. Albert Einstein occasionally channels advice when I least expect it. I am not responsible in any way for anything he says while he is dead. I am also fairly sure there is a conspiracy by Aliens to take over NASCAR.
Sassing back is welcomed and encouraged.

This is a fake counter to give fake stats. Well not exactly fake. It should be accurate from today. There is a hidden stat counter and IP logger that I have always had on this blog so don't think I don't know you were here, even if you don't leave a comment. I do. I even know your IP address. Muahhaha...Don't worry tho, if my stats show me you were here for two hours, I do not assume you found my blog that interesting. I assume you opened another window and forgot to close the one you had my blog open on. I won't accuse you of lurking. I am not that interesting.
