So they were asking this on the radio driving home and it was funny, so here goes in CD land....

....let's say you're single, and you have started dating again. The person comes over to see where you live for the first time. In seeing where you live (your home, apartment, room, whatever), what might the person "notice" about it that is strange, or odd, or unusual, or quirky, or "different" or downright weird that might cause them to raise their eyebrows about you?

Things like "the collection or 115 Star Wars Figurines" or "the books are sorted by color" or "the gun case in the front hall filled with military weapons"

these have to be true, and they have to be about you, what might cause eyebrows to be raised?

If they saw the garage, they might wonder about me. It doesn't look like a "single woman's" garage. I've got more tools and sh*t out there than most men do.

They would probably notice how little I actually have. I'm not a minimalist, but it sure looks like I am.

I have what I need, and little more.

My artwork. My dad has given me some of his pieces, and they are outstanding. Also, my photography that I have hung up. That stuff isn't exactly unusual, but it is what people notice

As for weird....I have a 3 ft long stuffed tiger sitting on the space between the top of my bar and my ceiling. I've had it since I was 5, so that is where it sits for now. I guess that is pretty weird.

1) I have a female room mate,

2) I practically live in my room. Even have a microwave in here, and thinking about a fridge too.

That my place is obsessively clean and organized.
That I have a complete work shop with more power tools than a lot of men.
That I don't own a single piece of music/iPod/or whatever is currently "in" for music options.
