Well, I guess I've officially been tagged by Doo Dah, on this one so here goes...

Ten Weirdest Things About Me (or at least the 10 weirdest that I can think of at the moment--there are many more, I'm sure)

1. I don't like touching smooth glass. If I have to drink out of a smooth glass, I need to have ice in the glass to create condensation. Otherwise, it's a little like nails on a chalkboard for me. I have a huge collection of plastic and textured glass "drinkware".
   
2. If I'm laying face down on a bed, with a shoe dangling from my toe, about to hit the floor, it freaks me out a little and I get the sensation that I'm the one falling, not the shoe.
   
3. I'm very particular about the taste of my water. My husband compares me to Mel Gibson's daughter in "Signs" (you know, the movie with the aliens?) who said every glass of water she tasted was "contaminated".
   
4. I make up lyrics and sing songs to my dogs, but it is always to the melody of The Beatles' "Hey, Jude" and it usually contains some reference to how they smell.
   
5. The second toe on my right foot is crooked, and must have been broken at some point, but I don't remember how and my toenail will grow right into my flesh on that toe if I don't keep it trimmed.
   
6. I really do like Barry Manilow.
   
7. I like the taste of sliced pickles on a slice of pizza. I don't eat it that way in public, but if I'm alone at home--mmmmm---my tastebuds are tantalized just thinking about it.
   
8. As a married woman, I once entered a contest and wrote an essay explaining why I felt that Batman was a superior super-hero just for the chance to win my husband a Batman action figure. It worked--I won and he got the toy. (Come on, there was no age limit for the essay--it's not like I just beat out a bunch of 6 year olds for a toy...give a girl a break!)
   
9. I love, love, love, love, love roller-coasters. I will travel great distances to try a new one. I want to someday be a senior citizen who belongs to American Coaster Enthusiasts. I applaud EVERY time I get to ride in the front seat of The Beast after dark and the hubby and I drive from Nashville to Cincinnati, almost yearly to do just that.
   
10. I think that my armpit hair grows abnormally fast.

There you go. So, now you know. Are you SURE you want to keep reading this blog?
