6 quirks about me.
I'm doing this from my blackberry, so if I remember, I'll link to Reagan later. And Reagan, unlike you, I have many, many, many quirks.
1. Lifetime. I love lifetime movies. I love them. I have been known to watch them all day and forget about laundry, cleaning and eating. Did you know most of them are based on true stories? So interesting. However, I draw the line when Heather Graham finds out she's pregnant with satan's child.
2. Huge hands. When I moved to Utah at the age of 14, I quickly learned that girls TEAR you apart there. One girl pointed out how huge my hands are and I had never even noticed. She was right though! They ARE huge! They were as big as or bigger than all of the boys'. I owe it to my long fingers. Thanks to them, my hands are as big as Jake's, and he is 6'4"!!! Is that a quirk or a disfigurement?
3. My life is a musical. I make up several songs every day to narrate whatever it is I'm doing. One time I was laying in bed singing about how thirsty I was. Jake joined in singing about how I should get some drinks for us. We decided that whoever made up the best song to go with the drink situation could stay in bed and the loser would have to get the drinks. Well, we stayed awake for 2 more hours laughing and singing ridiculous songs and we never got drinks.
4. Same as 3, but with dancing. All I'm going to say is loose arm wiggle dance. A beautiful dance I made up to the tune of White Stripe's "little ghost". Which by the way I have had stuck in my head for 3 years....HI dad!
5. I'm obsessed with mermaids. I desperately wanted to grow up to be a mermaid. I changed my name to Ariel when I was 5 and was banned from taking unsupervised baths because I would tie my feet together into a fin singing and splashing around for hours. I caused permanent damage to the bathroom floor/ceiling in the room below from excessive splashing. I still can't believe I'm not a mermaid.
6. I say what I'm thinking without thinking. I know about 20 people who are nodding as they read that one. if I notice/think of something amusing/funny I will share it with the class no matter how offensive or inapropriate the setting/situation is. I have had to just accept myself the way I am because I've tried to change, but can't. Seriously. I have said some things in the middle of church that would make your mother cry and a fraternity boy blush. And, no. I'm not giving any examples.
I blame my vast number of quirks on being homeschooled until I was 14. I missed out on some crucial years of socializing skills and developed a freakish imagination.
You know what, I'm going to do Jake's for him because I know he is way to "cool and artsy" for a tag. BTW, there was really no reason for the quotations around cool and artsy.
1. He married me. What a freak, right?
2. computer nerd alert! If I would let him, he'd stay in a dark/damp dungeon of computers all day and night doing nerd stuff on them. you're welcome Jake for my intervention. You'll thank me when you're older.
3. When he laughs really hard, he sounds like a girl.
4. Jake COULD win Coney Island's hot dog eating contest. And he SHOULD be 300 lbs. He can eat a large pizza by himeself without blinking.
5. He is kind of girly. Jake uses body scrubs, moisterizers, tweezers and many facial products. He smells better than me. Plus he pretty much never farts. Plus he shops at Sephora. But he is also a complete guy, just not when it comes to beauty products.
6. I could only think of 5 because Jake is Mr. Perfect Fancy Pants. And all 5 are pretty weak. Oh well. My next apointment is in 2 1/2 hours so now I have to find something else to occupy my time.
And I know it's lame, but I'm not tagging anyone else. Unless you want to.

HA HA HAHHAHAA!!! I loved this, Reggs. I really, REALLY loved this. I especially loved the mermaid part, it made me laugh out loud at my desk.
Did you like being homeschooled?? When I was in elementary school I wanted to be homeschooled so bad. In my mind I thought about doing math homework during Sesame Street. I was way jealous.

You're hilarious. I wanted to be a mermaid too. In fact, I still practice swimming with my legs together whenever I'm in water and I hope that one day I will perfect swimming up out of the water at full-speed while singing.
I hope you don't mind me checking out your blog--I don't really know how to get a hold of you (or I'm just lazy). Are you taking new clients? I need my hair cut. Will you email me? (kacalder@gmail.com)

Did I tell you that your hands are big? If it was me..SORRY. I have dwarf hands..aka hands of a pre-Pubescent boy. They never seemed catch-up with my ultra speedy growth. It's a good thing I wasn't a boy cuz you know what they say about small hands!?

I have freakishly large hands too. You'd think that would make me good at piano, basketball and typming.
