I was tagged by Monquito to reveal seven personal idiosyncrasies. I also really need to do a “real” post, because there has been a lot going on, but I thought this one was pretty fine.
1. I am a little afraid of the phone. This is separate from my general dislike of talking on cell phones. I mean I don’t like calling to order pizza, and I hated having to call clients when I was an attorney. I don’t mind it when I get calls, I just hate having to make any kind of non-personal call. I obviously manage to do it despite my weird hate.
2. I cannot do any kind of gymnastic action more difficult than a somersault. No cartwheels, no handstands, nothing. I just never learned.
3. Until about a month ago, I had not driven a car at all for over 4 years (and in the 3 years before that, I’d only driven a handful of times). It had gotten to the point where I had a total psychological block about driving. Not even really about driving, but about parking, or having to drive down a narrow street or something like that.
4. I am pretty scared of bugs, but I am not scared of mice or rats or snakes. I will pull a snake out of a swimming pool, but I will not kill a bug if anyone else at all is around to do it. Especially if that bug is above my eye level. I think they will jump on me.
5. There was a fairly long stretch of time in high school when I wore blue lipstick. And my love of shiny, bright makeup has continued, though I try to keep it less insane. But I owned about 40 colors of nail polish at one point, and I own (and occasionally wear) bright pink eyeshadow.
6. I love musicals. Love them. Love seeing them, love listening to the soundtracks, love singing along. I think it is just great when people burst into song for no damn reason.
7. I do not like eating ice cream out of ice cream cones. They get soggy and they don’t taste good when they are soggy, and they leak and I have to eat my ice cream too fast. Don’t like them.
I am going to pass on tagging anyone else to do this, because I always feel a little bad tagging people. But it was kind of fun, other Internet people, so do it up if you so choose.
