Absurdity redefined

I have been tagged, by Suyog. It is called the Weird tag, and I am supposed to write 5 weird things about myself. I wonder, "How many normal things do I do?". But well, nevertheless, I must dish out these details, without going into those areas of my personal life which would make you projectile vomit. Yeah, only the mediumly weird things will be said, and the hardcore stuff will be omitted ;) . They are available on request via email, and at my discretion.

So, to begin with, you must never have noticed that my first name is an anagram of 'A STUPID'. :) So, even though Tom Marvolo Riddle becomes Lord Voldemort, I am stuck with this one... such are the ironies of nature. If you analyse the striking similarity further, see that Tom grew up to become He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. So, ... umm... I think I should stop here. God bless my friends who never discovered this one! I would have had a whale of a time if one of my friends had any such interesting anagrams ;)

Next, I eat grass. Yep, don't smoke... just eat it. And not that grass (*nudge-nudge, wink-wink*). Actually, if you don't have a lawnmower, you can probably leave me locked outside your house without any dinner, and the next morning you'll find your lawn sparkling clean! Ok.. just kidding... am not that good at polishing lawns, but I am of some help.

This is a bit related, but you will have to bear with me. I eat things off the floor. Well, not just things that have dropped, but if I am eating while I squat on the floor and there happens to be a little no space left for a couple of chapatis, I'd gladly put them down on the floor and munch them on later. Yes, you can stop that ewww on your face... I told you, this was just the medium things... the hardcore stuff is censored ;)

Now, since we have talked about food, lets talk about sleep. I sleep on my belly ; umm... it looks more like a pot these days... but that is not weird. Yes, you read it right, fatso! Anyway, people seem to find this very very weird, but I just can't doze off without that. Face at an angle on the pillow, hands under face (well, at least above shoulders) and the rest of the body straight as a trunk. Thats how I sleep. Yes, go shoot yourself over that! :)

Now, the final abnormality (in the medium range, that is) is the fact that I am going to leave a well-paying job while already onsite to slog out for at least 6 years of more study. You know, I am one of those people who took what they taught at school seriously. I just don't find it cool to write in my profile description that I am a no-brainer idiot rambling off on this free space (although that is precisely what I am doing)... just can't accept it. I don't accept how things are normally... always want to tweak them around. I can't be normal... I am absurdity redefined!

Ok, now for the people whose weird traits I have decided to make public, I tag

• Sunshine (yes, this one should be an epiphany for you),
• Abhinav (any tag is incomplete without this one)
• Rimi (this should bring her out of her sombre mood)
• Hawkeye (dunno if he'll take this)
• Sajid (one of the undiscovered treasures on the blogging space)

So, what do you think?
