332/366 With bacon on top




Some friends of mine gave me bacon bandages a couple of months ago.  I swear they sort of smell like bacon when I get them out of the wrapper.

Do you ever have those conversations with your friends and family about being "normal"?  No?  Well, me either.

Some quirky... "not normal" facts about me:

1 - I sometimes pick at my hangnails until they bleed (hence the use of the bandage).  Once, I had a manicurist tell me that I had aggressive cuticles.  I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be scared or not, so now I pick at them to show them who is boss.  That is my story and I'm sticking to it.

2 - I organize the clothes in my closet by type and then by color.  Roy G Biv rules!

3 - Certain foods cannot touch or I won't eat them.  I am getting better about this though.  My sister has given me plates with dividers and that has made me very happy.

4 - When I get nervous, I smile a lot.  I do this when parents are yelling at me and sometimes they think I am smirking at them.  It is actually hard not to smile in those moments -- but I'm not smiling for happiness!

5 - All cabinets and drawers should be closed when not in use.  Always.  No exceptions.

6 - Speaking of cabinets, I love when the glasses of the same family are all lined up together.  They are happier that way.  And so am I.

7 - I often sing in the car.  When traffic is heavier, I hold up my phone so that it looks like I am having an animated conversation with someone and not singing.

8 - I never hit the snooze on my alarm.  Ever.  In fact, I don't even know how.

9 - I am deathly afraid of roaches.  Living in south Georgia means living where roaches live.  When they get inside the house, they must be found and punished.  There is no sleeping for anyone until this happens.

10 - My favorite color is orange.  Actually, I don't think that is quirky at all -- but other people seem to think so.  Orange is just a happy color and worthy of being a favorite.

I'm sure my family could tell you other quirky things about me -- but I find that unnecessary at the moment.  At least I own that I am solidly outside of the full on normal circle.  And I like it that way.
