Big Glasses + 3 Monkeys + A Little Imagination = FUN 
AHHHHHHHHH! I'm falling!
Some of us may have had a little too much fun.
Sorry. I've gotta figure out how to turn some of these.
So I've been tagged. These things are usually silly and fun. So let's see what I can come up with. 7 quirks I have (In no particular order):
1. I don't like it when people watch me eat. As a youth I wouldn't eat the refreshments at dances and things for fear of someone watching me eat. Even if I was starving. I once had a guy stare at me while I ate and he saw fit to point out how I take such tiny bites. That didn't help my phobia any. lol. Then I had a date who refused to eat until he had watched me take the first bite! No pressure there! I have gotten better though. I do eat in restaurants and at Bar-b-ques etc. But it still bothers me some.
2. I have to check and recheck to make sure the doors are locked every night. I check 3 or more times. And the windows.
3. Most people don't like snakes, or mice or even spiders. I'm not a huge fan of those either, but nothing makes my skin crawl like a cock roach! We were at a youth conference at UNC Wilmington once and I found 3 roaches in our room. My roommate was in hysterics. I couldn't stay in there until they were gone and then I would just cringe every few minutes thinking about how many more I hadn't found yet. Maybe it all started from that horrible nightmare they called 'literature' that they made me read in 6th grade. The one where a guy turns into a giant cock roach. It's very graphic in the sounds and imagery and..... yuck! I can't even go there.
4. I'm funny about my hair. I'm usually not very happy with it. It seems like most every day is a bad hair day. Maybe I'm just too hard on myself. But there aren't many hairstyles that I think look good on me. So I'm one of those that gets stuck in a hairstyle for years before I get up enough nerve to try something different.
5. I've become a little bit of a germ aphobe over the past few years. I'm not extreme like Howie on Deal or No Deal. I don't have any problem shaking peoples hands or anything like that! But I do wash my hands a lot durring the winter and I can almost see the germs on door knobs and things sometimes. Maybe it's from work and reminding kids alllllll day long to not pick there nose and to cover their mouth when they cough. Or maybe it's because my youngest is asthmatic and what seems like a simple cold to everyone else becomes something very serious for us. When you spend all fall, winter and spring just trying to keep your child relatively healthy and breathing. And you rarely get a full nights sleep, you gain a new perspective. I totally don't understand people who don't wash there hands in the bathroom.
6. I guess I have to use a strong word like 'addicted' to express my feelings on sweets. A sweet tooth just doesn't quite cut it. I have something sweet most every day. Chocolate, cakes, candies, brownies, cheese cakes, you name it. There's hardly a dessert that I don't like. Remind me again.... Why can't we eat just desserts at every meal? Oh yeah. Something about vitamins and minerals.
7. Sometimes I get a good kick out of people's reaction when then find out that I love hard rock and heavy metal. I like most all kinds of music but heavy is what I like to listen to most. I don't know if it's because I don't have any tatoos and don't headbang in the church parking lot anymore or what. But people are just blown away that I like heavy music. Even my neighbor. He was blown away when he asked what kind of music I like and could even tell him names of songs! lol. No I'm lying ______. lol. So he gave me his hour speech on the history of a few of his favorite bands, sent me home with a CD and invited me to his next mosh pit. lol. I'm there!
So there you are! So am I weird or what?!
I tag Umeka, Rachel, Melody and Jennifer.
