How sad is this?! *UPDATED*
For some reason, I took my bag of Skittles and separated them by color. I haven’t done that since I was a kid (and even then, it was once or twice for school, I think).
I didn’t think anything of it ’til husband walked in and laughed at me (a lot).
What quirks do you have?
Another mindless blogging point: In our attempt to create an “uber-office/media room,” we’ve got our two computers and two old TVs in our little spare room. The 13-inch sits next to my computer, while his old 30-inch resides in the closet.Right now, I’m watching “The Office” in “surround” sound. Next on the docket: wii fabulousness.
We need a life.
BTW, Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute) is quite hot in real life. Just sayin’.

LOL – Looks like a great room to waste some time in!
lol. niceee
some people would kill for an office/media room like that. so it’s not that sad…or maybe it is…
Better than no office/media room…I think it looks great!
I think it’s a cool set up… By the way Dwight Schrute is my favorite character.. The show wouldn’t be the same without him.. But I’ll take your word for it, that he’s hot in real life…
My gosh! All the screens!
@PoisonGrl21 - LOL, I wish we could spend more time in here … it’s a short-term set-up until we donate the 13″, though. We need to downsize.
@Chinese_Sait0u -
@JoyousMemoriesPhoto - @sarahfus - We’re very grateful for it, don’t get me wrong.
@diamonddave75 - I never thought he was until his NBC commercials. Mmmm …
@AlterEgo909 - It’s craziness, I tell you!
haha thats cute with the skittles it looks like rays should come out of them
… I used to do that with M&M’s well seperate them that is.
Haha! Totally random and for no reason at all, you decided to sort the colors in the rainbow
thats awesome.
it ‘s so weird i have countless quirks but i can’t recall any right now- weird.
I’ll separate Smarties as I eat them into colour. And I don’t eat the red ones last.
I used to do that with my skittles and/or M & M’s. I didn’t like the idea of all the colors touching and melting together.
@Garistotle - that’s blasphemy! The red ones are always last! (Well, I say that, but since the red ones are my favorite, I tend to secretly eat them first)
@BarelyJen - The commercials always encouraged eating the red ones last. That’s conformity. I don’t conform
@lizheartshakespeare - That bugs me too! Even when I have a handful, I tend to separate them by color.
The order of consumption (from least fave to most yummy): orange, yellow, green, purple, red. ZOMG I’m weird!
I usually separate my skittles/m&ms etc. One reason being that I can’t really stand grape skittles
I do it with M & M’s
@BarelyJen - I don’t consume in any particular order, but yea, I’m weird too
I do the exact same thing all the time. Even if I only have a few and then eat the least fav first and save the best for last! I also pick at my pizza in layers. Ill eat the pepperoni off, then eat all the mushrooms, then pick off the cheese and then eat the pizza. Im soo odd and the hubby makes fun of me all the time!
looks like the perfect set up
I don’t know if it’s so much a quirk…but…
As much as I like beer…I always have to find something wrong with every beer I try. There is some damn good beer out there (and I’m not talking American macro-brew cat piss either), but there’s always something out of balance or something that just isn’t right.
I’m a real critic I know.
I do that sometimes…when no one is watching…hehe
My quirk – when I eat a meal, I usually eat only one thing at a time. A typical meal consists of 1 meat 1 starch and 1 veggie, right? well I will usually eat all of the starch followed by all of the veggie and lastly all of the meat.
My parents always called me weird for eating my meals this way.
hah i still separate them but never into like separate containers
LOL! That’s kinda cool… you seem to have some red skittles mixed in with the purple though… =D
That’s kind of OCY (OCD-ish). Nip it in the bud before you start separating your trail mixes!
I separate EVERY candy by color, sometimes by size within a color. It is weird.
Aww! I want to watch the office with you guys… didn’t watch it tonight. When are we meeting up?
When I eat my Cap’n Crunch cereal sometimes… I’ll eat all of the square pieces first and save all of the colored balls for the end. I also do that with marshmallow cereal — I’ll eat all of the non-marshmallows first. I feel like I am saving the best for last. Lol.
I don’t have a lot of food quirks. I save my quirks for other areas. lol
I do that with all candy. Especially Skittles. And then I eat the red and purple ones last.
I actually always eat skittles in order (purple, green, yellow, orange, red). Same with chex mix. And jelly beans.
wow… no comment.. lol
D
ha. i used to separate the different colors while eating cereal like trix or lucky charms.
Along the lines of candy, I always eat blue m&ms last maybe only because blue is my favorite color.
I have absolutely no quirks. I am completely normal. *Takes a look at his profile pic* Er, never mind.
Quirks: I separate my M&M’s by color, I cannot go near cotton balls, I never wear the same two socks (I just reach into my sock drawer and grab whichever two are nearby), on the same note I never ever wear white socks- ever! I have way too many quirks to list, so there are some of my favorites:)
The Office and Wii fabulousness= wonderful night.
I think the Office looks lame. quirks hmm… oh, when i am fixing my layout for myspace everything has to be in order. boy girl or girl boy for friends. everything has to be even. stuff like that.
You need help.
And nookie.
Sweet room, when can I come over?
I do that with Starbursts. I always save the Orange or Strawberry ones for last…
I do the same thing with the skittles. Im the same way with Jelly Beans too.
Such an organized room…I wish mine were that clean! Haha.
@SerenaDante - LOL, that’s because there were only five or six red ones left after I got through with the bag
@laurelitavera - I have no idea when he’ll get a full weekend off again, but he’s totally DUE! You wanna come here, or us there?
i would eat all the purple ones first!
the room looks awesome.
omg, thank you for saying that about rainn wilson! cause i totally think so too! not as dwight, but in real like, like, nerdy hot. me and my roomies were just talking about it last night, we were split on the issue.
and i totally sort my food. what of it….
i was actually wondering why the 6 red ones were in the purple, and then i wondered why you didn’t eat them while you were separating them. haha. i’m just more OCD i guess… and i still say no on rainn wilson. but maybe that’s just because he’s engrained in my brain as dwight…
Favorite Dwight quote: “That is ridiculous. I will take out my knife and cut off your bare hands.”
Love the skittles. I’m totally OCD like that.
Oddest quirk? I have long hair (no, really?) and I loose alot of hair every day. For a while when I was younger I thought I was developing alapecia (I wasn’t, I was just stressed) because I was loosing an ungodly amount of hair every day. However, I started keeping track and counting how many hairs I lost every day. Now I don’t count them, but I definitely keep a mental tab on how many I pull out while washing my hair. I’m terrified of loosing my hair.
Jen (she said solemnly) you do need a life. (hehehehe)
However, that being said, I would also add a little half-bathroom off the “media room”, a microwave, coffeemaker, bar fridge, small chest freezer, and a fold-away cot. At which point I would go in, lock the door behind me, and flush the key.
My quirk? I chill my chocolate bars before I eat them.
oh my oh dear oh wow.
I always separate my skittles into the set of 5 colours, and eat the unfinished sets first. My boyfriend knows he’s only allowed to eat the unfinished sets. I’m a little bit OCD with food, I eat things in order of type or size depending on the food. Like eating the smallest chips out of a bag first, or always eating two noodles at a time with pasta… It’s weird, but whatever.
I seperate my M&Ms and Skittles. You are not alone. haha
I used to do this with Skittles, Starburst/Opal Fruits and Smarties. sometimes I do this with jelly babies/fruit pastilles eat the ones I dont like first sometimes, or eat the ones I like and chuck the rest.
I have to eat skittles in pairs. Two of a color. Then the leftovers get eaten all at once.
Hahaha!
aww! you’ve given me motivation to keep rearranging my room! I’ve started… but ‘left it there’ so it’s a big mess. =/
thanks!
Separating Skittles is only way to eat them! That way you get to save the best for last.
I love seprating them by color, they are different flavors!, well anyways, I also do that with m&ms =P
You are awesome (in general and) for that =)
Oh which color do you prefer? I’d go for the dark ones!
My food can’t touch. I need to eat off those plates that have the dividers lol, only I don’t have any…I just deal with it.
i do that because i hate the combinations of flavors…its like an ocd thing when it comes to mixed flavors on wha ti eat.
I eat candy by color too. With M&Ms I usually eat the brown ones last. Now that you mention them now I want some skittles to sort by color.
I love Skittles! That’s my nickname haha. It was really because I dyed my hair a lot when I was younger.
I have a thing with odd numbers and even numbers. Even numbers drive me crazy so whatever I eat has to be an odd number. Like 3 pickles on my sandwich and things like that. The Office rocks!
I DO THAT WITH SKITTLES THAN EAT EM IN ORDER! first the orange, than yellow, than green, than red, than purple. haha!
(I am so going to regret telling anyone this) When I eat M&M’s I separate them by color and then eat them alphabetically, by color- blue, then brown, then green, and so on.
I also have an odd thing about walking from one surface to another, such as carpet to wood or concrete to asphalt. I adjust my gait so that I always step onto the new surface with my left foot. If I don’t adjust enough, I’ll actually stop or do an odd sort of skip, so the left foot touches the new surface first.
Go ahead, mock.
I try to separate the colors, eat the flavors that I least like first, and then the best… Or does everyone do that? Wait, where are the red skittles in the picture?! Those are my favorite.
haha, when i read that. but sometimes we organize for fun? or it makes us feel better maybe.
and the “surround” sound was LOL to me.
mmm, i feel like eating a rainbow noaw
You’ve just eliminated any hope of tasting the rainbow. Your loss.
I don’t even like such sugary stuff–screw Skittles and their memorable marketing!
For some reason that sounds really fun! haha
That looks like a fun room!
ahah, i just googled him after i read this,
and he is good looking.
He reminds me of my theater teacher a bit.
and OCD my m&m’s, haven’t
had skittles in awhile.
Thats funny. Separate the skittles by color? AHHAH ha ha ah ah! I also need a life….well, maybe. Yea, I need a life. Thats a nice office you have!!!!!!
Thats a freaking slick key board. Creative people like to color coordinate things.
