Unspectacular Haikus

Haiku FridayJ-Online asks for
six unspectacular quirks.
It's a meme* haiku!

1.
I rarely wear socks.
The seams are uncomfortable,
my feet get too hot.

2.
Fluorescent lights hurt.
Sometimes you'll see me wearing
sunglasses indoors.

3.
I'll eat the same thing
every day for days on end
for breakfast and lunch.

4.
Sometimes I worry
my laptop video cam
lets people see me.

5.
It doesn't help that
I take my laptop with me
into the bathroom.

6.
Sometimes I cover
the eye of the camera up
with toilet paper!


* I read somewhere when I first started blogging that it's pronounced "meem." If your pronounce it differently, the haiku structure may be off! (back to top)

    I'm glad that I"m not the only one who takes her laptop to the washroom!

    You are so good at Haiku's! And I thought my husband was the only one who took the laptop into the bathroom with him! Ha!

    I never thought about taking my laptop into the bathroom. Here's looking at you!

    Ah … WONDERFULLY executed! Reminds me of my early meme/Haikus … and I need to keep this in mind the next time someone tags me for sure. I don’t wear socks either … for the same reason actually. I’ve not activated the camera in my laptop, but I worry occasionally that folks can see me too.
    Hugs and blessings,

    Very good, but don't bother with the toilet paper, I can still see.

    And thats a weird place for a tattoo!

    My laptop is afraid of the bath, we're still working on getting her comfortable in there. And now I'm *really* glad she doesn't have a cam!

    Your haikus make me jealous. :)

    I am cracking up. I take my laptop into the bathroom with me too!

  8. Journey Through Life says:

    Oh my goodness! I can't believe how many people take their laptop to the bathroom. I'm guilty of that as well!!!!!

  9. Sarah says:

    No laptop for me. I guess that means I'm safe from prying eyes (wink).

    LOL, I was just imagining myself in the bathroom with the PC cranked up--my hubby would think that I've lost it for real. How would I use the mouse? Would the keyboard balance on the bathtub edge? Where would the monitor go? Hmm, you've made me think again! Darn it, it's Saturday, this is my day for brainlessness! LOL

    Loved your Haiku's! Nice way to list anything. And your commentor's comments are entertaining as well. :)

    You crack me up.

    I eat the same things everyday too. Which reminds me, I need to take my vitamin.

    Awesome. M wears her glasses inside and at the theatre as well.

    I too eat the same things for breakfast and lunch. I think it has helped me lose those extra pounds.
