quirk you

okay, so i've never been accused of being quirky before, so this is a bit of stretch. however, here are a few normalacies that others might not be fortunate enough to have:
  • i always snap my gum and pop bubbles (much to the chagrin of steph and andrew).
  • i cannot stop recycling. even if i want to just chuck it, i can't.
  • i won't pump my own gas. i'm not trying to be high-maintenance, it's just that the handles are big, dry, germy cess pools. and i like dave, who pumps my gas, and i wouldn't want him to have to look for a new job.
  • i love brushing my teeth. now, (hopefully!!) that in itself is not a quirk, but if i wake up during the night, i have to get up and bruth my teeth again before i can fall back asleep.
  • i don't bite my nails (do i look like a cannibal to you?!), but i do click them on my teeth.
  • i. hate. small. spaces. or having my face covered. gaaaaaah!
  • i feel uncomfortable and frumpy all day if i'm not wearing matching underwear.
  • i can't stand it when my hand (or anyone else's) is hanging, it has to be supported. it's just so much like a dead fish if a hand is just hanging there, like off the pillow or over the armrest or anything.
  • my ears itch-- literally-- if people say something gross or creepy. *shudder*

see, i'm practically the normalist kid on the block.

Biting my nails is normal. Even ask my sister.

And wearing matching underwear is the best feeling around!!

You should replace the frumpy feeling with a creepy feeling. Don't wear matching underwear, stop wearing underwear all together. Ears itching yet?

i never feel creepy. because, oh ya, i'm NOT creepy!! and if i didn't wear underwear, my underwear drawer would be empty. THEN what would you do all day while you are waiting for us to come home?!

AAAAAHHH! Thank you for finding me to tell me about your secret new home! I must admit, I thought I was being hit on by your subject line, but now that I know it's you, I'm ok with it. =) So glad you're back!

Dear Soulmate,

You have not updated in two. whole. days. If you care about ... your little stuffed ducky, you'll do what's right and update your blog. Or the ducky goes.
