Six Unique Things About Me
January 24, 2008 by hisfiredancer
Okay, I’m reading my good friends blog and she did this “meme” (I have no idea what a meme is…). Anyway, in this post she listed six weird things about her and it sounded like fun so I thought I’d do it too for kicks. I have a thing about calling anything about me “weird” though, so I changed up the title…I’m unique! LOL
1. I often have to write things down before I talk about them. It helps me figure out what I’m feeling and why before I actually discuss them with someone. It helps me avoid “finding out” what’s going on in my heart and head in front of someone.
2. I’m very tactile. I love to feel different textures. Especially if I’m out on a walk or a hike - I like to run my hands over the bark of trees, or pick up rocks, and feel the leaves on different plants. (This would make it pretty important for me to learn which ones are poison.)
3. There are days that are like musicals to me ( a lot of them) and as I go through them everything makes me want to sing - sing a response, sing a question. It’s not just that things remind me of songs, I make them up as I go. Sometimes it’s very hard for me to not sing out-loud and I have to hum just to get it out of my system!
4. I LOVE tomatoes!!! I could eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I have to try not to think about them before I go to bed because I will actually wake up in the middle of the night just to eat one!
5. I am somewhat obsessive about whatever notebook I’m currently writing in. In school a friend wanted to see what I was writing and she took the notebook. That wasn’t bad, until she passed it to someone else. I totally panicked (on the inside, I’m great at maintaining that calm, cool appearance on the outside!). When I finally got it back I was SO relieved.
6. I hate talking on the phone! It’s fine at work but once I get home or away from work it’s the last thing I want to do. Particularly if I know it’s going to be a long conversation. I actually only have one person who I will talk to on the phone, knowing it will always be longer than an hour and it’s okay. Otherwise, if I can e-mail, that is my preference!
I have “issues” with the phone too.
I CAN’T STAND tomotoes! *rofl*! Gag! When I was 10 my mom thought that I had never tried one, and that if I did I would like it. So she offered me a dollar if I would eat a slice of tomato… Man, did I want that dollar!… So I managed to gag the thing down, with my entire family laughing at my expressions… But hey, I got my dollar!
Another way we’re different… I don’t like the feel of most things, including tree bark. My worst is the feel of velvet and foam. *lol* Ick!
