Please join me as I share some insights from some very Twitchy perspectives.

Many have asked me (or at least one person has), “Why are you Twitchy, oh Twitchy One?”
Well, it’s a name that fits effectively because there are multiple answers to that question. Some mildy amusing, some really not. Most of the time, wherever I am, whatever I’m doing, there’s a nagging sense that I should be somewhere else, doing something else. And no, I don’t have a tic.

    I am Twitchy because:

  1. My real name is boring. Sharon! Sorry mum. Not even a middle name back-up option for me?
  2. Highly visual with a short attention span. Sorry, where were we? (Something over your shoulder just caught my eye.)
  3. Love good coffee. Twitchiness in anticipation and jitters if I have too much.
  4. Squeamish. I detest all manner of stuff- bodily fluids, gory films, animal-based food preparation, anything dead, blech, blech, blech. No stomach for it- Big.Girl’s.Blouse.
  5. Detest large crowds. I can do them but I never last long and can’t wait to flee. Rooms without windows? *shudders*.
  6. Injustice makes me bristle. I don’t watch TV news. There’s just so much already out there to keep me awake at night. Joint Destroyer.
  7. Seasonal hayfever. Terrible! Pollens and stuff get right up my nose and into my sensitive eyes. Certain I was a lab bunny in a previous life. PS Bunnies twitch. I love bunnies! (Friends- not food.)
  8. Super sensitive skin. I feel everything, it is my superpower. I spontaneously break out in rashes. I’m a dedicated sun-evader and swear I can feel myself cooking.
    Any skin condition you name it- I have a tendency toward it and a bajillion creams in my bedside drawer. No wrinkled pillows. If you’ve lost a pea under your mattress, just give me a call.
    Labels and fallen hairs must come out of my clothing and I will remove any offending articles while I am still talking to you. (Emery boards are stashed EVERYWHERE.)
  9. BS detector. Will never accept needless snark or bullies. I aim to surround myself with quality people and twitch inwardly when the alarm goes off. *cough!* But I do have SOME social skills, y’know. So I just say it in my head: Your eyes are shifty, you sancti-MON-ious wanker.
  10. Confession: It’s a nod to my all time favourite TV show Bewitched. I hate housework and love that Samantha Stephens. She was married to a gay man once. I’ve been to her house and still want to be her when I grow up.

Oh my stars! I love Samantha too…although not too sure about the forsaking her powers to be a normal housewife thing…

:D but the point is, she kept breaking her own rules ;)

I love the Twitchy insights! And I love Samantha too. Although not at your level of devotion – not even close. What is with no middle name? THat is just wrong.

Ah yes. Well given my mother wanted to find an acceptable name to go with our big fat foreign surname, she thought that was plenty to deal with. By the time she got to my brother she got the hang of it, and he has a middle name. (Just another reason we always argue he is the favoured child.) My husband also has no middle name.

Aha! So now we know :) Thankyou for that lovely little insight. Aren’t you clever to come up with one word that has so many connections? Love it.

Thanks for a very thorough explanation there Ms TC. Yes, I admit I’ve asked. For some reason a cat came to mind……..and it appears a cat is often found very close to you. In your face ….. I recall the time you started on Twitter….. Those “good old days” when you were on your L’s. Now you are flying high! Go girl! You are a very gifted person. Just sayin’

Thank you Denyse, coming from a former school principal, that’s something. Come to think of it, they said that to me in primary school too. I must’ve peaked around Grade 5 or 6. Haven’t amounted to much since then! ;P

I never questioned why you were called Twitchy … it was just ‘you’! and I MIGHT have mentioned i seriously considered calling my daughter Tabitha … xt
