Six Weird Things About Me Meme
Mmm, ok then.
1) My hip bones protrude out pretty far, making my hips look wider than there is actual flesh on them. Dominic used to hug me, bonk his head on one of my bones (when he was younger and shorter) and go, "Wow, mom, what's that?" I'd say, "It's my hip bone." He would then ask, "Can I see?" o_O
2) I talk to inanimate objects and cheer them on to do their thing*. Except the traffic lights. You must always act like you're not going to make it through the intersection before the light changes. In that case, the traffic light will stay on green out of spite just to prove you wrong. You must not gloat after you do make it through, though, because they learn fast.
* I always praise my car when it works well or accelerates fast. My '88 Honda Civic was very responsive to praise, but our VW Jetta totally hates me.
3) I have this thing for stickers.... My husband and me have a pact that whenever he sees stickers in a store, he will gently steer me away. Because... I mean... STICKERS!!!! -drools- Except now, of course, I work in a company that makes stickers among other things... -drools-
4) My body tells me what to eat and I do. And like, my body will be like SCREAMING for cookies one day, and then another it will be just DYING for some apples. Or meat. So it sort of balances everything out. If I eat what my body tells me to when it tells me to, no one gets hurt. Or fat. My body is very sensible this way. Except for:
5) Fainting! I do this sometimes. Sometimes it's because I didn't eat breakfast, sometimes because I'm stressed out of my brain, sometimes it just happens. And it's VERY incomfortable before the faint, and I've only recently learned to see the signs, and sometimes I can sit down and breathe, but sometimes it doesn't work, and it's a very scary feeling of helplessness, like you know you're about to black out, but you cannot do anything about it, so all you can do is get comfy so you don't bonk your head on something angular on the way down.
However! After I come to, I feel all tingly and throbby, but I usually feel so much better. It's like a computer crashing - when things compile that clog the system, and then you either crash or just restart, and BOOM it works all fine again. Except for the last time. Last time I was in so much HURTIN' when I regained consciousness, and apparently I spasmed while I was out, because all my muscles were all cramped up, and the throbbing did not go away for awhile. Also, I used to see cartoons when I passed out. Like, no kidding. I'd regain consciousness and be like, wow, I just saw a cartoon. My brain is just... weird that way.
6) I like to have tea with pickles. Not like, inside the tea, but just instead of a cookie or something more conventional.
Hm, that was kinda easy. So, if you read this, YOU'RE TAGGED! Now go to yer journals and post 6 weird things about yourselves.
