Ain't that a great word?? I love it.


What is 'quirkiness' to you? How do you define it?


How quirky do you think you are? Do other people notice? Do you embrace this
part of your character? Or are you embarrassed by it?


Or are you just plain odd??


Come out, come out, of the closet you quirky MFs!

Not one of my favorite words, I think it's just a nice way of saying wierd?

Hey Steve - it's nice to see you back in GD.

Nah, it's when people say "I'm wacky, me. Crazy!" - that's what I hate. They usually mean 'ANNOYING'.


The reason I ask is because I was just thinking how very quirky I can be, sometimes. (So: weird, by your definition ). I don't think a lot of people 'get' it, including my mates. But I also just realised how much I quite like being that way. I sometimes try to suppress my inner quirk but I'm always much happier being that way. Even if it gets odd looks. It's almost trippy. Am I rambling here?

I think the Org is full of people all shades of quirky. Expose yourselves!

I sometimes talk or sing to myself as a I walk in the street, when I think no-ones looking. V Embarrasing when you're busted doing this

That isn't bad


I talk and sing to myself even when I know people are around. I even sing along to the music playing in stores when I am out shopping. Sometimes I start dancing to the music too.

I think I'm very odd, wuirky I guess and soemtimes it doesn't mesh well with more conventional types.

I don't trust people who aren't quirky.

Quirkiness - Peculiar behavior


Am I quirky? You better believe it

People notice it all the time. It is definitely something I do embrace because it is just part of my personality.

Quirky? Not sure if I am or not, unless a bit of OCD counts as quirky.

It's a bit weird when people call themselves quirky. It's like calling yourself "exotic" or "fascinating" or something else that is for others to decide.

Quirkiness to me is being a little 'of the wall' I think. I think Im very quirky which to some extent is part of my charm.

You could be right. But I have ever, ever heard anyone say they are 'exotic' or 'fascinating'. I think I would have to give them a wide berth.

A bartender once said to me: "I've seen you around here before and I never realised you are gay - I just thought you were weird. You have an aura of weirdness around you".

Then I blew him off in a toilet cubicle.

As to whether or not I am weird - who knows? Maybe I'm just a slut.

I should add that I don't make a habit of having sex in toilets. It was years ago. I was like 23 or something. I'm not George Michael or anything.

Quirky can be sexy.

Is that then a tragic flaw in your character?

retina said:

i don't think that's entirely true- i can think of several people i know who could call themselves quirky without objection from anyone.

Some people are known to be naturally quirky, others aren't. I have come across many characters who I would class as quirky, and I love their individualism, they are just being themselves, but stand out from the norm.

I've never been called "quirky" but I have been called "odd" and "manic".

MissMe said:

exactly!

evenstar3 said:

But I just don't think someone is quirky for blowing off another in a toilet.

I think of "quirky" as different from just being an unusual or strange person. I think of quirky people being sort of all over the place. . . having personality traits or habits that are surprising, or inconsistent.

I think I'm overall weird, but I don't know that I'd really describe myself as quirky. I'm a freak in a global, consistent sort of way.
