I wrote a blog post titled 'Am I Weird?' perhaps a year/ a year and a half ago, in which I talked about several everyday traits and routines that I noticed I have, and thought I'd put them out there and ask whether these things were normal compared to other people. Feeling similar to how I did back then I thought I'd write down some more observation and once again ask that question.
To kick things off we'll jump straight into a popular subject and that is sports. The world cup and Wimbledon have both just been on, and both events have been watched quite intensely by members of my family for the last few weeks. In both cases my family had their favourites teams/players, as well as supporting England or English players and got very into the activity of watching these sports.
When it comes to sports though I'm very rarely interested in watching them or following specific teams, apart from one or two exceptions. I'm not entirely sure why, I've always been like this, perhaps its a lack of attention thing, or that I'd rather play that sport then just sit and watch it, id not sure.
I have recently discovered others who also aren't that interested in religiously following these sports, but it still seems that when these events come around, your doing something wrong if you don't know what's going on.
The next thing, which doesn't really affect as a wide an audience as the last topic, is gardening. In our new house we are lucky enough to have quite a large back garden where we can sit outside and chat, have bbq's...the problem comes when I am asked to now the lawn and cut the hedges. Now I don't particularly mind doing these things, its just that for some reason the grass and leaves seem to grew very quickly in our back garden and some I'm having to do these thongs ever few weeks. I know people like to have a nice garden but does it really matter that much if the grass is an inch too tall or is left an extra few weeks growth time. Perhaps this is me being a bit lazy but still does that male sense to some people,grass will always grow, I'm fighting a losing battle :).
Lastly, i wanted to talk about the topic of getting a tan. As a person who is more a fan of winter, I find the concept of wanting to get a tan I bit confusing. My sisters will lie outside on the grass, listening to music or just laying there looking like they're about to fall asleep all in the hope of getting a tan. I know some people look slightly healthier with a tan, put again I don't really see the need for one, for looking less pale. Once again during this time of the year, if you say your happy not to be out getting a tan or you want to go inside for a bit out of the heat, you regarded as slightly strange for not taking advantage of the weather.
Does anyone else feel the same way about any of these things, or is able to provide me with some deeper insight into these topics. Am I just weird?
