What’s weird about you?




I read a funny list the other day and decided to make one about myself.  What weird things do I do?

  • I have to have a fan on and earplugs in to be able to sleep. Oh, and always lying on my left side.
  • I have to have it cool to sleep. I actually prefer arctic temperatures. When I lived alone I would turn the heat off, turn my fan on, and open the window. In December.
  • I absolutely hate to be late. If there’s even a risk of being late, never my fault of course, I start sweating, my heart starts racing and it can lead to a full blown anxiety attack. Mainly because there are some people in my life who like to rush into events at the very last minute. Drives. Me. Crazy.
  • I hate to wear shoes, I prefer flip flops. Unfortunately the midwestern weather doesn’t always cooperate.
  • When my husband is out of town, I close all the windows, lock all the doors, then put chairs by every door so that the bad guy will knock them over when he breaks in. Of course, I won’t hear the chairs being knocked over because I will have my fan on and earplugs in.
  • I eat sandwiches from the outside in, eating around the center in circles.
  • I don’t like my food on my plate to touch, or heaven forbid mix together.
  • I have to brush my teeth after eating, even if it’s just a small bite of food. Can’t stand having a taste linger.
  • I’m very sensitive to smells, which makes going to the mall quite an experience.
  • I can only drink ice cold water or ice cold soda. Nothing lukewarm for me.
  • I can’t stand flies. If there is one in my house, I can’t do anything else until that sucker is dead. It’s an obsession.
  • I have to make my bed every morning, no matter how big of a hurry I am in. I’m trying to get this to rub off on my sons, so far no luck.
  • I have trouble sleeping, so if I can’t sleep and think of something that needs done, I’ll do it right then. Many mornings my husband has looked at me like I’m nuts and asked “You went to the grocery store at what time???”
  • I’m a compulsive list maker.
  • I’m anal about personal hygiene. Even when I was nursing a baby and getting 3 hours of sleep a night, I always had to shower and wash my hair. I may not have advanced much beyond that, but at least I was clean.
  • I love dogs,but I can’t stand to be licked by a dog. Not even by my sweetie.
  • If someone mentions that they found or saw a tick, it sends me into hysterics. I’m highly afraid of little bugs.
  • I will not touch the handle of a public bathroom door. It makes no sense to me to wash my hands then touch that handle. If I have on a long sleeve shirt I’ll cover up my hands to open the door, if not I’ll get a paper towel, open the door then toss the towel in the trash. Same with flushing, I use my foot. (Is that too much information?)

I’m sure there are more, many more in fact. This is all I can come up with for now.

Come on, tell me what makes you weird. I really don’t want to be all alone with my weird self. Please share!
