List #1: Quirks
There's a book called No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 ideas for Blogging.
I care what you had for lunch. I'm interested in all the little things that make us alike and different from each other. So that said, hoping you are too
Twenty of my Quirks
1. A silent bedroom feels like a coffin to me.
2. I can remember instances of how I felt and what I was thinking from when I was two or three years old.
3. I have short, intense bouts of depression, but I'm not depressive. My default state is a bit anxious, but happy.
4. It makes my ears bleed to hear "Her and I" It makes me want to say 'Me hate bad grammar'.
5. I have a fair amount of psychic ability. If I find out someone died, or a friend's daughter just got engaged, it likely popped up on my radar beforehand
6. I don't do outdoor activities like rock climbing or long bike rides, but I'm physically active.
7. I want you to get to the point, especially in work situations. Don't give me a million details when three would suffice.
8. Sugar is my drug of choice.
9. I hate seafood.
10. A lot of talk about the world coming to an end is stupid to me. If that happens to be true, why live it twice?
11. I have a vegan heart, but a love for bacon.
12.I love to sing. I sing my ass off in my car. I like singing Tom Jones and Johnny Cash songs.
13. I'm obsessed visually with the lights and shapes and movement of amusement park rides, and love taking photos of them.
14. I have a song I sing to my cat called Worst Cat in the World. I sing it to her very sweetly, and she slow blinks at me.
15. I love rain.
16. You have to hug me first. I'm afraid of rejection. But I sometimes break my own rule.
17. I talk, laugh, and channel the ascended masters in my sleep. When I can sleep.
18. I sometimes know someone's astrological sign without knowing their birthday.
19. I like watching videos of monkeys.
20. I close my eyes and put my fingers in my ears during violent scenes in movies.

1. A silent bedroom feels like a coffin to me.
* * *
A coffin is a silent coffin to me… (Because I am a vampire… :ppp:)))
2. I can remember instances of how I felt and what I was thinking from when I was two or three years old.
Yes, me too.
Had recurring nightmares about ET at that time…
Saw…
Something strange that looked like ET…
3. I have short, intense bouts of depression, but I'm not depressive. My default state is a bit anxious, but happy.
I consider myself a bit melancholy and blue…
But I like it that way…
Let me tell you something…
Happiness kills creativity…
(Actually I have wired myself
to produce in any circumstance,
however…
I just think happiness is overrated…
Well…
Happiness is a shade of blue…
:)))
4. It makes my ears bleed to hear "Her and I" It makes me want to say 'Me hate bad grammar'.
Not a fan of the Halsey/G-Eazy.?.
(Man did that turn out to be a bad romance…
:)))
Fan of both...
5. I have a fair amount of psychic ability. If I find out someone died, or a friend's daughter just got engaged, it likely popped up on my radar beforehand
I strait up have visions…
Psychic abilities…
Seen shit move…
:ppp
But seriously, I have seen shit move…
6. I don't do outdoor activities like rock climbing or long bike rides, but I'm physically active.
I do whatever...
7. I want you to get to the point, especially in work situations. Don't give me a million details when three would suffice.
I can do small talk…
And will…
Depending on the person…
But prefer to go right in…
But I really really like having long conversations
even though I dont talk that much…
Just said to someone the other day…
“I get so sad it hurts when I talk.” - Cipher_O
8. Sugar is my drug of choice.
I like ganja & psychedelics…
I rather like drugs, in general…
To be honest...
9. I hate seafood.
I love seafood…
Remember first seafood fresh from
dock on the ocean…
Fucking beautiful…
Beer and seafood by the ocean…
10. A lot of talk about the world coming to an end is stupid to me. If that happens to be true, why live it twice?
That’s interesting…
I think the more connections one has
the more one might consider such an event…
I think…
I want to be close to my loved ones
where they know I love them…
And no matter what happens…
That is all that matters...
11. I have a vegan heart, but a love for bacon.
I loves me some bacon…
I can make potato skins better than TGIF…
(Not a cook but who the hell else is going to make it…)
12.I love to sing. I sing my ass off in my car. I like singing Tom Jones and Johnny Cash songs.
I have a singing voice that is a
hybrid between Danzig and Jim Morrison…
I like people who sing and just get lost in the enjoyment…
Makes me think of like…
How…
In magical worlds
all the magical creatures sing…
:)))
(Was recently watching Troll on Tubi…
Or like the Ewoks…
13. I'm obsessed visually with the lights and shapes and movement of amusement park rides, and love taking photos of them.
Awesome…
I am always out…
Opening my mind to
things which captivate…
Taking pics…
It makes me happy...
14. I have a song I sing to my cat called Worst Cat in the World. I sing it to her very sweetly, and she slow blinks at me.
I have serenaded a cat, a dog and a lady…
:)))
They all seemed to like me...
15. I love rain.
I just followed a storm…
Got pics and videos of the lightning…
Allowed the mosquitos to bite me…
I suffer for my art…
:)))
16. You have to hug me first. I'm afraid of rejection. But I sometimes break my own rule.
I will hug you if I like you...
17. I talk, laugh, and channel the ascended masters in my sleep. When I can sleep.
I can fly in my dreams to evade monsters…
18. I sometimes know someone's astrological sign without knowing their birthday.
I never wonder what sign someone is, strangely enough…
If I learn it…
I may ponder it…
Astrology is awesome...
19. I like watching videos of monkeys.
I grew up on national geographic…
My dad liked it...
20. I close my eyes and put my fingers in my ears during violent scenes in movies.
I have known only one person who did this…
The evolution of violent movies/entertainment
is quite interesting…

I love your self poem, Cipher. It’s always refreshing for a poet to disclose more of themselves.

11 and 12
Can relate
Love Johnny Cash
Love bacon but rarely eat it
Like it fatty and slightly undercooked
I thought I sounded like Jim Morrison in our garage growing up. That was until my father came home unexpectedly and caught me blowing a joint. Wasn't the same after that.
I like rain on weekdays because it gives me an excuse to not go on the road and do my sales job. No car so walking in the rain at my age is "fuck that shit"
I like shrimp, scallops and lobster. Not sure it's a Love but I guess it's pretty good. You're a J, you should be sinning with shellfish.
I'm a a optimistic pessimist

Thx M
I eat the same lunch everyday for 5 days then switch. Not a frigging foodie but I like stuff.

I get the using rain as an excuse thing.
I should pull the kosher card to excuse myself from crustaceans.
Maybe you could get your Jim Morrison back.

Bravo girl girl for this insightful write. I really enjoy learning more about the poets I come in contact with. I love list poems. Thank you for sharing :)
#’s 1 & 20 - I’m with you on that 100%
#5 - similar ability I guess. After someone passes, I can usually speak with that person and relay messages to their loved ones. It started in 2018 when a dear friend’s husband passed while I was on the phone with her. It happened with my sister when her boyfriend passed and a neighbor when their grandmother passed. I wouldn’t say that it’s like being a Medium so much and it usually only lasts for a short time immediately preceding the person’s death. I also have prophetic dreams. It’s happened more times than I can count. I suppose that’s a certain amount of psychic ability.
I love peanut butter pie and toast with peanut butter and mashed bananas

Your list was really enjoyable. I have some OCD quirks, and another thing - interpreting animals, nature, and numbers in the same sequence are messages from the universe or angels 😊
Ok everyone's thinking she's nuts, lol. I am.

I don't think you're nuts. I'd love it if you would write about that. Sounds fascinating.

Clarification on #7: I like small talk just fine, and thrive on talking with friends at work. I just can't stand those who belabor points, or just want to hear their own voice in meetings.
31st Jul 2023 12:06pm
I also still suffer from ADD but I did my best to read and ponder the many answers and re-read some quirks. Lists rule.
