Another "About Me"

So, I figured that doing that about me was sufficient enough information for you to know that I'm a little weird and off kilter. But I thought of 10 more things about me that might be fun to read. Well, probably only fun for me to read after I finish typing, but who cares right?

I probably won't keep doing a 10 things, but when I think about weird facts about me I write them down, and I ended up with 10 more facts.

01. I hate being dirty. It is the most annoying thing in the world to me. Also, since I have a medical condition that requires me to take nightly showers, I guess that it's a good thing I think being dirty is gross. I have a problem being around dirty people, and if Wade hasn't showered or brushed his teeth I refuse to hug or kiss him until he does. Also, being around animals has this affect on me... after I leave someone's house I have to go home and immediately shower if they have an animal or two. Animal hair on my clothes makes me feel dirty, and I can't go into my room without taking my clothes off first because I don't want the animal hair to get all over my room.

02. I'm very particular about things. I have to make my bed every morning, because if I come home to an unmade bed I am very grumpy. I like writing with certain pen, and I have to use certain detergent because I like the way it smells (All Lavender, if you were wondering. Although right now I am using the regular All because CVS doesn't have the lavender scent). I have to have my clothes folded a certain way, and my suitcase packed so that my clothes don't bunch up at the bottom if I drag the suitcase across the floor. I guess you could call that OCD, but I'm not too crazy about things like having everything in order. It's just a few things; like things I do every day.

03. I love anything Disney (although I don't like Disney tattoos unless they are tasteful, unique, and nicely colored; the artist better be good). I've been to Walt Disney World numerous times... probably over 15 times. I've also been to Disney Land once or twice, I'm not really sure about that one. Being at any Disney park makes me feel happy. And they're right when they say that you really do escape from the real world - I don't think about anything bad while I'm there. All I think about is "What is my itinerary?" (yes, I'm particular about that too). I used to go straight to Fantasy Land and ride Dumbo first after walking through Main Street USA at Magic Kingdom, but now I go to Tomorrow Land to get my fast pass for Space Mountain, then walk over to the Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor to wait until my fast passes go into effect. Then I go off and finish Tomorrow Land, then go do whatever I feel like. I've got to have a plan while I'm there, but that's really the only thing I think about. I have not a care in the world when I am enjoying myself at WDW, and I can't wait to get there again in 55 days!

04. I love colors. I am not a ROYGBIV kind of person... I see all colors in the spectrum and give them names depending on their hue. So, basically, I am not a guy (it's true guys). I love bright colors sometimes, but normally I wear black just because. I especially like color variations for my nails. I love nail polish (today, they are a wine color... next week they will probably be something bright, because it is April after all). I am a compulsive nail polish buyer, and that only started within the past year. But I do feel guilty when I buy a color that is similar to another shade that I already have. I just like expressing myself through the colors that I wear. Colors correlate with emotion - and that's the honest truth!

05. I hate asking for things from people. I don't like to be doted on (too much, haha). But really. For three years I was unable to do anything for myself. When I was at the hospital I wasn't allowed to go pee by myself, so to sit there and have a nurse watch you pee is really not all it's cracked up to be. It's hard when someone is watching! Anyway, I don't like it when people offer me things. It makes me feel weird. Even when I'm low on money and my dad offers me 20 dollars I will refuse to take it (unlike 99% of the rest of the population). I just feel guilty doing any of that. So, I try to do things by myself as best as I can because I don't want to be a bother to anyone else around me.

06. I chew hard candy like there's no tomorrow. I had a lollipop today and the moment I put it in my mouth I was crunching it. It's probably bad for my teeth but I don't eat hard candy very often so I guess that makes it okay (probably not). I guess it's one of those "oral fixation" or nervous habits, but if I have hard candy I chew it. I actually chew everything... even ice cream. But I think that's because on the inside I'm mentally unstable and my brain doesn't know what to do with ice cream. I even blow on it because I think it's hot soup. This is probably one of the reasons why I don't eat ice cream very often. When I eat mints I don't suck on them, I just chew them right up! So don't give me hard candy or mints because they will be gone in 4 seconds.

07. I am a creature of habit. I like doing the same things over and over. Routine is good for me, otherwise I get very stressed out and freaked out. I think this is because I have a type A personality. Also, I was in school for like 21 years, so I guess having a set schedule helped to make me a crazy when there is no set schedule. Like I said, I even have an itinerary at Walt Disney World! I don't like to fly by the seat of my pants, and I certainly don't like not having something to do every day. I don't like changing things up. However, this does not apply when I'm at a restaurant... I normally like to try something different every time. But even though I do that, I'm still afraid that I won't like my food and I'll go back to getting the chicken fingers.

08. To me, everything has a meaning. Colors, shapes, tones, the clothes people wear every day, and people's names. That's why writing fiction is important to me: being able to control the mood based on the details in the story is powerful. Also, I carefully choose the names of my characters (as should everyone else, because if I read your story I will look up the name meaning). I am not willy-nilly with things like that. Having meaning is important - it's the difference between powerful and meek, or happy and sad.

09. Sometimes I don't finish saying words. That might be weird. Normally, it's the word "stop" and it's when Wade is bothering me. He'll be poking me or something annoying, and I'll either [a] growl like a cat, or [b] say "STAAaaah..." He has pointed this out to me numerous times. I don't even realize I'm doing it, actually.

10. I like to figure out what character I would be in movies. Most of the time it's the most ridiculous character. Like in Harry Potter, I'd probably be Neville, or in The Rescuers Down Under, I'd be Bernard. In Peter Pan, I would want to be one of the mermaids or John (the smart middle child).

That's all for now! I hope that was interesting.
