When I get home from work...

I am leaving for work in about 10 minutes here, and when I get home later tonight, in like 7 hours...I'd like to read some funny things about others on this site.
So..What I want you all to do, is post some kind of random/funny fact about yourself. You dont have to think very hard about it. Just something quirky about yourself to share with me and others to give us kind of an insight about one another like the biography thread, just different.

I'll start.

-I like to sing and dance in the shower like an american idol contestant.
-I stretch every night, and Brandon watches because he thinks it's hot.
-I love Captain Crunch.
-When I'm alone, I pretend my life is a soap-opera and act out everything I do, like they would in a soap-opera.

So..What's your silly random fact/s?

Fun topic!

* I talk to myself and act out scenes from the novel I'm working on (or just scenes in general)
* Up until about 8 years ago I thought Michigan was pronounced "Mitch-ah-gan." That's how my dad and sister pronounce it, and nobody ever corrected us until I went on a roadtrip with some girlfriends ... *hangs head in shame*
* I speak and read French, but can't write it (well, except for phonetically)
* I saw a tornado on Wednesday!

-I have the inability to drag myself out of bed in time for my hair to dry naturally or to blow dry it. I go to work EVERY morning with wet/damp hair. My coworkers are always amazed if they see me outside of work with my hair actually fixed.

-I can't remember birthdays to save my life. If I remember AT ALL it's always the day before or the day after. I can never remember the day of. (Today is hubby's birthday and I forgot this morning and had to call him once I got to work and saw it on my calendar to apologize...)

-My husband and I don't cook. We mean well, but because we're so tired when we get home and we have street parking only (if you happen upon a good spot you don't give it up) we always order in or go out to eat. There's a taco stand across the road that knows us by name, as well as the Subway around the corner.

* I sing in the shower every morning - I turn on Limewire and crank up Buck Cherry
* When I have to clean my ears, I won't use both ends of a Q tip, only one side. Please don't ask why
* My closet throws up on me everyday - It takes me about 1/2 hr to decide what I'm going to wear... in the end, I have nothing hanging up anymore

Oh good! I was starting to think I was the only one Where I used to live the people at the local taco place would see me coming in the door and scream "GUAC GIRL!" as if I was Norm at Cheers (Erm, I put guacamole on everything...)

Great topic!!

Lets see...
I don't let ANY of my food touch...if it touches, I won't eat it...this includes mashed potatoes and gravy, it just grosses me out. Hubby thinks this is very weird!
I like polish on my toe-nails, but I hate the way it looks on my finger-nails.
When I'm bored, I re-organize everything in the house, or I can sit and watch the fish tank for hours on end.
I clean the toilet everyday b/c it seems gross not to, but I'll let soap scum build up in the shower for a couple of weeks!

I'm sure I'll think of more later, I have a lot of quirks!

1. I always tear my gum in half and only chew on half at a time unitll it loses its flavor. most of the time i lose the 2nd half and have to start with a fresh piece, when i clean out my purse I have like a million tiny squares of gum sitting at the bottom.

2. I wash my hands like 200 times while im out at a bar or at the gym. I got used to the habit here at work in the hospital. It just follows me where ever I go.

3. The best pick up line Ive ever had a guy tell me was...(as im walking past him) "ehhh ahhh hey um youve got nice hair!"
The best pick up line or action was to my current boyfriend "has anyone ever told you that you look like the oldest brother from 7th heaven" (he really does) and then right before i left I wrote my number on his hand...old school style!wahhbam!

Ohhh where do I start:

1. I dance for my husband every day. (It makes him laugh, I'm a really bad dancer)

2. I talk to myself in my car when I'm alone. Not just muttering, full conversations.

3. I hate wearing socks. When May 1st hits I stop wearing them until September, regardless of weather

Oh me too!! I cant stand socks!!

As I posted a couple weeks ago I like to sing and dance while I'm cleaning the house (In hopes noone is watching )

I can't stand to have dry skin! (This needs to be in the Products you can't live without) When I get out of the shower I HAVE to put lotion on before I do anything else.

I have a certain pillow that I sleep with. I will NOT share it! i also have a Body pillow I won't share

I'm a picker...I cant stand zits on anyone!

I'm sure I'll think of more lol

I have this same issue and it drives my husband crazy. He says I can't just rub his back like a regular person, I have to search out every little imperfection and SQUUUEEEEEZE it.

I can gleek whenever I want to.
I'm afraid of mushrooms.
My second toe is longer than my big toe.
I eat macaroni/noodles plain (without any sauce or cheese on it).
There's more, I just can't think of any!

my DH hates that I do that too!


Moz, my son does that all the time!

*I am extremely double-jointed. All the fingers on my left hand are double-jointed, as is my jaw, and both wrists and elbows. It's kind of creepy if you saw what I can do.
*I love wierd ghost/ghoulie movies from before my time...such as The Changeling (1980...okay, I was 2 when this was made, but I still count it), Rosemary's Baby, The Haunting of Julia, Don't Look Now, etc. Something about the 60's and 70's...they did the ghost story thing better than we do now.
*I have a raging crush on Robert Smith from the Cure, even though he's getting rather dumpy-looking as he ages. Oh, and Gabriel Byrne. I guess I just love older men...not George Burns old, but you know. Completely bald men are rather appealing too...like Maynard from Tool, and Patrick Stewart.
*Love disco. I'm watching Saturday Night Fever right now.
*Grilled cheese and tomato soup is a meal fit for kings and emperors.

I have to have in dark in the bedroom in order to sleep. I put a towel over the little lights on the answering machine and phone, buy a new clock radio based on the fact if it has a dimmer switch on it!! It can be noisy outside but dark-the full moon bothers me!!!
I hardly ever wear shoes!!! I've been known in the winter to go barefoot in the snow to run to get the mail and newspaper.
In November I buy a case of beef and chicken broth when its the cheapest of the year and use it for the entire year in various recipes.
I won't ever buy frozen corn-I have to freeze the fresh stuff-this yr my corn crop failed I've probably spent more on the fresh corn that what it would cost to buy frozen!!
I have to have half and half in my coffee every day-I measure out the exact amt of coffee and water!!

Ok I'm pretty quirky so here I go:

-I'm a picker too...DH will testify to that as well.
-I do everything in even numbers. usually 8 but sometimes 10.
-I always pretend I can sing/dance like people on the radio or TV.
-I could put vinegar or cheese on almost anything!
-Noodles with a little butter and a good amount of ketchup is delicious!
-I loooove grilled cheese and tomato soup as well
-I detest plants. I'd rather receive a gnome! Now cut flowers and things don't bother me. But if it's leafy....I shudder and will not touch it! I accidentally brushed my arm on a plant at work the other day and I literally screamed and jumped away! Scared my co-worker real good!
-I have to rinse my feet after I get out of the shower.
-I am very protective of my food. I get really bent out of shape if DH takes my drinks or anything. I have a co-worker who 'mooches' food alllll the time and that really drives me insane. I'm learning to tell him no before he even walks over when I'm eating something!
-I can't stand my feet feeling constricted. I love sandals or going barefoot at home.

Ok I think that's enough for now. I told you I'm quirky!

-I sing everywhere- shower, car, house...you name it I was a music industry major (recording technology) - lol i always have a song in my head
- I have to have the same brand of guitar pick or i won't use it- it has to be Tortex....and it has to be powdered (weird habit)
-I Hate potatoes, but i will eat some french fries (if they're crunchy) -lol took me years to even eat french fries
- I have an addiction- it's called ICE CREAM!!!!
-I let my cat pick out my clothes in the morning- weird i know! But it works! I'll lay two outfits on my bed and put Velvet in the middle of them and she'll walk over to one and lay beside it- that's the one i wear for the day. She's my wardrobe coordinator I love Velvet! She's such a good girl!
-I'm really picky about brushing & flossing my teeth- i'm majoring in dental hygeine, so anytime i see someone brushing their teeth incorrectly, i politely show them the correct way lol- I've actually flossed Colin's teeth before- it drives me crazy when he forgets to floss!-yeah i know, it's weird- but hey, at least we won't have to pay for fillings and crowns.
-If someone sends me flowers i will immediately take them out and rearrange them perfectly (i'm a florist/wedding planner-i'm a little ocd on flowers)
-I Can't stand the sound of people chewing, filing, bitting tapping...their nails! It drives me crazy!
- I save my gum if it's really good- i know, i'm embaressed to admit it lol, I have a little dish in my refeidgerator my brother-in-law gave to me yrs ago with a little dog holding a tray that says "Gum Dish" ....Colin would die if he knew that lol.
-I've watched every single porn in Colin's collection just to see if Colin was into anything weird when we first started dating. Lol, he has no clue!
-When Colin's not home, I let our dog Fosters up on the couch with me to watch tv lol
- I can NEVER find my Kroger Plus Card when i want to use it- never! (it's a discount card for local grocery stores)
-Everyone at 3 of our local Petco's knows me by name lol
