Six Weird Things About Me

I believe that I have done this one a few times already. There are so many weird things about me, I could join in every hour and not struggle to come up with six.



NUMBER ONE: I have made up so many goofy songs using familiar tunes that I fear when my grandchildren get into a public singing situation they will embarrass themselves when they realize that the 'second verse' is NOT the one Beppe sings! I learned this from my dad, who sang us goofy songs on road trips throughout this great land of ours.



NUMBER TWO: I want to have my cake and eat it too. Although, I had never heard this phrase until THGGM and I were dating. He gave me a card with the punch line of "You can't have your Kate and Edith too" and I did not get it. He loves it when I don't get things.



NUMBER THREE: I have a small collection of very nice jewelry. I wear only my wedding ring and the same pair of earrings. This is because I have a hard time deciding which to wear. I have been trying to wear my watch. Trying. Anyway,..I like how decorative my jewelry looks stuck all over things in my bathroom.



NUMBER FOUR: I tend to only wear blue.



NUMBER FIVE: It's hard for me to enjoy things while I'm doing them. I need to come home and think about what I have done before I know if I had a good time, or not. Usually I did, but it probably doesn't look like it while I'm there. I have a tendency to always look annoyed. I'm not annoyed, I'm just storing information in a complicated system and hoping for easy retrieval at a later date. Blogging helps. You would not believe all of the content in my 'drafts'.



NUMBER SIX: I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I am seriously agoraphobic. Migraines led me to panic attacks which led me to this lovely state of affairs. It was easy to hide when I could take a kid with me everywhere I went. THGGM is tiring of going to many of my favorite places. Anyway...I am medicated, but for anyone who knows anything about anxiety medications, they cause weight gain. I lost most of my 'safe places' last year so I am working hard at regaining lost ground, and trying to do it without an increase in meds. I am following with great interest reports on increases in migraines in people who spend time under the newer florescent light bulbs. My very first panic attack happened in one of those warehouse type stores, and I have had trouble with panic attacks/migraines in specific places ever since then. Now, just about everywhere I go those types of lights are used. Maybe all I have is florescent-a-phobia: fear of florescent light induced psychosis.



BONUS NUMBER SEVEN: The reason why I haven't said what our new fabulous furniture find is? I cannot believe it is mine until it is actually here and I have posted a picture of it on my blog. We need better weather and a truck to actually get it here.

I could join in every hour and not struggle to come up with six. You are too much. I just read through the last few days to get caught up with you. I love how you've decorated your fireplace.

blogging helps keep me sane too.

What's weird about those? OK, maybe I have a few weird traits myself...ok, maybe more then a few, like after reading #2 I now want cake...that's weird.

This is quite a list. Not the typical fluffy weird stuff. Thanks for sharing. Lots of people don't get #6. My sis is struggling with this right now...long story, but with some similar sounding pieces to yours.

We defintely share number One. Number Five to a degree. And Six but mostly at shopping malls, which I avoid like the plague. There's something about the combination of lights and the steady dull roar of incipherable voicers that freaks me out. HATE them!!!

#2 - I have never understood the point of having cake but not eating it.

#5 - Looking annoyed. I don't know if I look that way exactly, but I do think I project a more serious mien that what I feel. It also irritates me if someone tells me to cheer up when I already am. Then I become very uncheery.
