25 Things.

I have seen this on a few different blogs and thought it might be fun... Maybe you'll learn something new about me ;)

1. I am obsessed with my niece... which works out well because we share a co-obsessiveness. I call her an enabler... How can I not be obsessed when she stands at her door and points at her neighbors red car, thinking its mine, and yells "RuRu!!!" at the top of her lungs. RuRu is my nickname... I dont think my sister was kidding when she said she was going to get an electronic fence around the yard of her new house. haha
2. I like even numbers better than odds, unless it is for something along the lines of a list, then it must end in a 0 or 5.
3. I have horrible depth perception in the car. I constantly hit curbs when parallel parking or taking right turns. My poor hubcabs.
4. If I could be a vegetarian, I would be. I am unable to give up chicken though. The longest I made it was two weeks and then my mom made chicken fajitas. Oops.
5. I can't touch glass that has just been washed. It has a squeaky feeling that gives me the chills. I hate it.
6. Along the line of glasses, when I take one out of the cabinet, I have to blow in it. Once when I was little I felt the need to take the glass on the top of the shelf in the very corner and there was a bug in it. It freaked me out, so I blow in them every time.
7. I don't (or very, very rarely) walk on floors without my socks on. It skeeves me out.
8. I can't step on a bathmat when I get out of the shower with wet feet. I always step out onto my towel and then into my slippers or flip flops. It doesnt matter where I am, I can't do it.
9. I sleep in socks. I hate not having my feet covered. Hmm, I never realized all these weird things with my feet. It's been since I was little... when apparently I used to stop what I was doing and claim "sock emergency". That was when my socks got bunched or slipped in my shoe. I still hate that.
10. When I was in elementary school I made posters about littering and hung them up around the school. I can't remember for the life of me what they said right now, but my mom remembered one and when she told me it recently... I was horrified. I was such a nerd.
11. I love doing crossword puzzles even though I suck at them
12. My grammar is horrible. Im embarrassed with each post at the mistakes I make. I'm sure it drives some of you crazy... Especially Gerard and his sister. haha. I read your posts about grammar errors and was like, "oh geez, they must have ulcers after reading my crap!"
13. Apparently if it was as common to label a child with A.D.D. in the 80's as it is now, my mom is certain I would have landed myself a diagnoses back then, as opposed to now. haha. She informed me that among many other embarrassing things I did, that I would fidget so spastically that I would literally fall off my chair. Good lord, I was a spaz.
14. I got a ring stuck in my front teeth when I was about 8 years old. Seemed like a good idea to put the ring in my mouth at the time. Guess not.
15. I came in 3rd, or shot, was it 4th, in the state foul shooting contest when I was in the 8th grade.
16. I am obsessive. My obsessions are extremely varied but range from thoughts, to foods, to objects. To name a few from my past, bagels, lip stick, my bag, sitting at a particular table in the library to study for finals one year, working out, reading, knitting, butterspray, thinking I was going to get hit by another car while I was driving, thinking my house was on fire, thinking a plane or helicopter is going to hit my house, sneakers, being among the first 5 cars at the gym on Saturday mornings, grades, studying, particular grades on things ... it goes on from there. haha. I wont scare you with the rest though.
17. When I was younger I had a teddy bear named "Bunny" (she liked to hop) and wanted to name my home-made cabbage patch kid "Rainbow of my Heart". Either my mom or sister told me that wasn't a name, so I changed it to "Willamina". I was seriously a strange kid. The fact that I had a home-made cabbage patch kid is strange as well. haha
18. I love the rain.
19. I would rather stay home than go out at night.
20. I was a cuddle maniac as a kid
21. I won a coloring contest when I was in preschool. It was one of those where you colored the picture on a paper bag from the grocery store. The day i got it, I went right home and started coloring. My hand started to cramp so I put on mittens and colored until it was done and then made my mom bring me back to the store to turn it in. I guess the obsessiveness started then. haha. We got family tickets to Disney on Ice and as soon as the magic mirror from snow white came out, i was scared shitless and tried to crawl down the row of seats.
22. I have a wild imagination and always believe someone is in my house or trying to break into my house.
23. One of my goals is to be more spontaneous. It isn't going so well.
24. This is my lucky number.
25. I love watching cheezy movies with a glass of wine in my baggy sweat pants. That is my ideal afternoon... and of course it would be raining.
