Quote of the Day and
Quote of the day by Cori (who is 2 1/2 for those of you playing along at home).
Giggle and then, “I farted in my mouth!”
Yes ladies and gentlemen (got to keep something classy around here right?) she had burped, and it’s not like the first time either (trust me, that kid burps like a drunken old man)
Arlyn says I need to tell you 5 interesting/quirky things about myself, I’m afraid of her wrath so I will obey (okay, not really, she’s pretty nice).
Heights scare me. I know, that doesn’t seem weird. The weird part is that I forget that heights scare me. I’ll look at a diving board or something, think that it doesn’t look that high and then attempt to do it. Then I’ll get up there and physically can’t make myself jump off. Knowing full well that it’s safe (and letting small children and the elderly do it before me) but it takes me forever to finally do it.
I’m pretty darn stubborn/prideful. For example the above? Even though I’m scared enough to pee my pants I don’t just turn around and come down, which would probably cause less of a scene, instead I make myself jump, even if it takes me 20 minutes.
I feel like I have to chew things equally on each side of my mouth. I’ve actually gotten better about this, but I used to obsess about it in jr. high and high school. So much so that I would chew a piece of gum 10 times and then switch sides, and then chew it with my front teeth even. Needless to say if I was chewing gum I was distracted. Now I do it without thinking mostly- although I’m sure it’s not quite as even as it used to be.
I didn’t get asked out on a single date in high school. (No I didn’t even go to prom, sniff). I was just discussing this with my sister. I went on dates in high school, but only when I asked the guy out. I relentlessly and shamelessly pursued guys though. When I hit College I decided enough was enough and I was done asking guys out. I wasn’t going to ask another guy out unless he’d asked me out already. It worked. I had a dated SO much in college. Guys were interested because I acted like I wasn’t. I still don’t get that logic.
I’m full of useless knowledge and trivia. I’m willing to share or spew that knowledge with no warning. Makes me good at trivia games, but if you don’t know me I worry about coming off as a ‘know-it-all’ and no one likes that. I was particularly obsessing about that on our cruise with a bunch of people I didn’t know, but that I felt like I needed to impress. Some games I really like but that Steve doesn’t like to play with me (for the same reasons I won’t play chess or Risk with him) are Tribond and Scrabble.
So now I guess I get to tag five random people. I’m going to choose the last 5 people to have updated their blogs (according to my blog reader) although anyone else who needs blog fodder is welcome to share and then let me know in my comments and I’ll link you here too.
You might notice (if go read their latest post and look at the times posted) that there may be a 4-5 hour difference. I do have a ton of blogs in my reader- but it took me hours to finally complete this- so I just pulled the top one or two each time. I’m about to follow OMSH’s advice and clear my reader of unread items to alleviate the guilt.
Mmm…I dunno…not sure you’re quite weird enough for me… =P And yay for alleviating guilt! Wheee!
Yeah, we are totally soul twins. Except I never stopped asking the boys out (stalked my husband…seriously) and I would go back down the ladder and cause the big scene. But the chewing thing? Now, that’s just weird.
