Randoms about me....

On my photography board, someone wrote: "Show me your randoms... " Requesting everyone to confess random oddities or quirks about themselves. It is hilarious to see how WEIRD people are, but we all have our "things." Here is a list of random things about me....

-No one is allowed to touch my collarbone! I broke it as a child, and have phobias--I only recently can stand to wear necklaces that touch it
-I HATE onions--I know, they are in everything, but not in the food that I eat
- I don’t really care for ice cream…unless there is cake or a brownie next to it
-I've only had a few, but I giggle like crazy at a pedicure when they rub the dry skin off
-I HAVE to wear socks to sleep, no matter how hot it is...my feet must be covered
-a blanky or pillow must be between my knees, and between my elbows
-I can't stand to walk around barefoot on a hard surface floor--always little tiny particles that get stuck to my feet (I love carpet--fighting Michael wanting hard wood everywhere)
-I have teeth braking phobia...so scared about damaging them
-I can make a dolphin sound with my lips and a horse sigh...hard to explain....
-I HATE all soda...it tickles my nose and hurts my throat
- I hate taking baths...why would I want to sit in my own filth and have my shoulders and knees stick out and get cold?
-I have to force myself to eat vegetables, but I love broccoli
- I love a loud radio when I'm in the car by myself, and the more I like the song , the faster I drive
-I don’t mind chaos…I actually thrive in it
-I have no desire to skydive, scubadive, bungee jump, etc. I see the fragility of my life now that I am a mother
-I can really appreciate good handwriting b/c mine isn’t
-I wish I could give better reactions to surprises/gifts from others (my face doesn’t show what I feel)
-Every morning when my alarm goes off (at 6:50), I curse our shool district for making elementary school start so early
-I bust out in drill team moves at a moments notice (5...6...7...8....)
-I'm all about semantics...don't tell me I'm "angry" when I'm just "frustrated" BIG DIFFERENCE
-I pull my hair when I'm thinking

If anyone can think of anything else quirky about me, feel free to comment.

I love the way you play with strands of your hair and your hand motions. You are friendly and can make a person feel so comfortable so fast--you are such a good conversationalist that you could find out a person's entire life history in less than 10 minutes and they won't feel invaded, instead they will feel like they've made a friend.
You have CRAZY thick hair and lots of scrapbooks....oh there is so much more. I love it all dear friend!

Now I know a little more about you, how fun! I can identify with the "busting out in drill team moves".....so familiar! :) And I completely agree with the previous poster....emma jo.....you are such a good people person!

Just discovered your blog and had to comment on this one. It's funny that I noticed and knew about most of these quirks just by our short time together in Jerusalem. And I find all of the quirks quite endearing!! Love ya girl!
