I stole an idea from another blog for this and I'd like to see what people say.
The idea is to name six weird things about yourself. This shouldn't be hard for me since I am, after all, weird. But I'd like to add to it by requesting that anyone who comments on it, as well as myself, also add 6 strange things about people they know, leaving off their names of course.
So, here goes: 1) It drives me NUTS when people use the wrong word in a sentence, whether typed or spoken. For instance, people who say I "thrive to do such and such..." instead of "strive." Or, "My garden srives on Miracle Grow." NO, it thrives on it!" Drives me NUTS! I'm not talking about typos here. Typos happen. I'm talking about habitual offenders. Or people who use "then" when they should use "than". ACK!!!
2) Dirty feet. I can't stand them. They're gross and disgusting. If I walk outside to get the mail and I happen to be barefooted, I will wash off my feet before I go through my house. Can't stand it. Can't stand to see my kids walking around in bare socks either. Dirty socks disgust me, too.
3) It's not uncommon for me to take at least two showers a day. I ALWAYS take a bath before I go to bed. It relaxes me and I love to soak, plus I can't stand to go to bed dirty. ( I rinse off quickly before I bathe) I almost always shower in the mornings, too. I know... stange.
4) I will NOT eat leftover food. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only exceptions to the rule. I can't do it. Just can't. Don't have a clue why.
5) I have claustrophobia. Severely. I'll leave it at that except to say that when it feels like the world is closing in on me I go into my room and shut the door and don't come out. When that stops working, I get into my truck, usually late at night, roll down the windows and drive down the freeway as fast as I can with the music as loud as I can for a few hours and that seems to get me past the worst part.
6) The weirdest thing about me is that I am amost 40 years old and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
