Fun Quirks

So I was up late last night and I was thinking about some fun little things about me that I'm not sure are very unique, but they're interesting (to me at least). So here are a few of them. I'm not sure how long this list will go but we'll try for a bit.

~ I have lots of energy and my favorite way to use it is cleaning. It takes so much out of you and you feel so rewarded at the end :) I clean when I'm happy, excited, sad, or mad. I do my best cleaning when I'm mad.

~ I love to be lectured to about anatomy. I love to do worksheets on anatomy and I love to test on anatomy. I absolutely love anatomy. Bodies are so interesting.

~ I tell people that I love to read. I don't know if this is true.. I enjoy reading, but I can't sit still for that long to just read very easily.  I read very fast though so if I'm told to read something it's never a problem.

~ I regretted not taking a math class this year about 3 minutes after classes started the first day.

~ Every year for the past three years on New Years Eve my mom and I have gone and picked out all the fabric I would need for a brand new quilt to make that year. I got my first quilt finished that I started for 2008 at 5:47 pm December 31, 2010. The other two quilts are..... Well they'll get done someday.

~ I don't really like "out of the norm" kinds of fruits. I love apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, strawberries, other kinds of berries, but I don't like melons much, tropical fruits and I really don't like peaches.

~ Cinnamon makes my hands itch and makes me cough, but I love cinnamon so I live though it.

~ I love "oldies" music. Anywhere from 1920's to 1980's. My dad always played the "guess who" game with me when we were driving in the car and listening to the oldies station while I was growing up (I still consider myself growing up) but now I find myself playing this game with almost everyone that rides in my car, and I consider it super annoying.

~ I think Gone With the Wind is a horrible movie, but I absolutely love it.

~ My favorite movies are the old black and white movies or old musicals. Oklahoma, West Side Story, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, It's a Wonderful Life, and any Audrey Hepburn movie are at the very top of that list.

~ I am a sucker for anything that has to do with Disney. Flat out pretty much obsessed.

~ I cry at pretty much everything, especially happy, spiritual and historical (like the whole time I visit places like DC or Civil War battle fields) moments. I'm easily moved.

~ I tell people I don't like soda because I want to sound like a better person than I am. This is a lie, I love soda. It's bad so I try to limit my intake, but I love soda. Especially Dr. Pepper.

~ Simple jokes are my absolute favorite. Especially when they have a pun in them.

~ I am probably one of the lesser active people I know. I love the IDEA of having endurance for physically exhausting things, but when I really look at it I think "why..........?"

~ I have a phobia of snakes, and I am absolutely terrified of sharks and whales. Absolutely terrified...

~ In the back seat of my car I have a stuffed shark (I do not have a fear of furry, stuffed sharks) and a stuffed tiger sitting in seats, and buckled in. Their names are Sharky and Baba Oriley (named after Teenage Wasteland by The Who). I love them. I also have a small Clifford dog with a mustache on my dash. His name is El Cliffordo.

~ I love my sandwiches toasted. With the exception of deli meats. But peanut butter and jelly, tuna, chicken salad, blt, egg, etc..  I eat toasted if I have the choice.

~ I hated peanut butter until I got mono last summer, now I love it.

~ I have no idea how I got mono last summer, but I'll never forgive whoever gave it to me.

~ I have different music I listen to during different seasons. I'm so excited for spring, we start Billy Joel and The Beatles season.


~ I've always had this resentment toward the letter "Y" because when I was little my older brother told me that when I started kindergarten I had to sign my "y" with a straight line because they would kick me out of school for signing my "y" wrong. I was currently learning how to do the curly one and absolutely loving it but I stopped because I was scared I'd get kicked out of school . I totally believed him for longer than I'd like to admit. Now I sign my "Y's" with the curly thing that I like and I'm learning how to get over my resentment.

~ I have a huge fear of sharp, metal things being scrapped across my molars. The biggest one is the inside of a pop can that you pop down when you open it (there is no story to go with this, just a thought). The dentist's office is a dreaded affair for me.

~ I am almost never warm.

~ The things I am most insecure about on my body are my shoulder blades.
