Tell me something about yourself(all in fun) that no one else knows

[Tigger&Belle]

I really should consider adding more nuts to my diet.

 

[irishbosoxfan]

Ok I have a couple more-some are similar to others so I don't feel as much like a freak any more

I won't flush the toilet until its been used at least twice--The whole "If it's yellow let it mellow,If it's brown flush it down" not quite sure where I got it from but I passed it to the kids!

I am the same as another w/the bread-If it's been open for a couple of days it's not good anymore--The same goes for food in the fridge NOTHING is allowed to be in the fridge for longer than 3 days then it gets thrown out.

I have to wear socks 24 hours a day-During the summer if I go out w/flipflops as soon as I walk in the door off they go and on goes the socks

I too talk to myself sometimes out loud sometimes in my head-I make up stories or relive stories=One time my EX found me doing it and asked who I was talking to-I said no one I was singing!

I MUST have a list=Can't live w/out one I start to panic if I can't find it--I will scribble little notes on paper anywhere I find it then I transcribe them to one piece of paper--Then I start the process all over again--Dh hates it because he can never just throw something away

I have got to use the color sippy cup lid that came with the sippy cup I'm using. I cannot stand to see a green sippy cup with an orange lid. Even worse, I have some that came mismatched (green with dark blue lid, and lavendar with light blue lid), and even though they don't necessarily "match", I have to use the lid with the cup it came with. dh is always putting the dark blue lid on the lavendar cup and it drives me nuts!!

LOL! I do this, too! Original lid must stay w/ the cup.

Once, my DH unloaded the dishwasher & mis-matched some cups & lids. He gave one to DS who said "Ohh, a new sippy cup". Nope son, not new...just mismatched!

A few people know this about me but I could not come up with anything I have hidden away in that deep dark closet.

I am terrified of the dark! I do not sleep with a nightlight but I am so scared of the dark. I sometimes check under the bed and in the shower before I go to sleep. No way I would ever hang my arms over the bed even though I do check under there. But I am the first one up when I hear a noise that I can not recongnize. DH will not get out of bed. I am really funny coming down the stairs with a baseball bat.

I have dated two police officers who have told me horror stories and I know part of this comes from the things I have heard.

An older relative of mine spent a number of years researching our family history and supposedly "Uncle Sam" (the real Uncle Sam) is my great, great, great uncle or some such thing..
-----------------------------------------------------

I will NOT share my coloring books or crayons with anyone - NO exceptions..
------------------------------------------------------------

When I was in first grade I decided that when I grew up I wanted to be a newspaper reporter.. I had my Mom buy me a large pad of newsprint paper and set about producing my very first "newspaper".. I fashioned it after the daily paper that my Dad got every morning.. I "named" my newspaper after my elementary school and for the front page, followed the same format of our daily paper.. In doing so, that meant that I had to draw a box in the lower left corner, where I would include the weather for that day.. I can't remember for the life of me what "front page news" I wrote, but I remember vividly what I wrote in that weather box in the lower left corner:

"Looks like it's going to be a nice day today."

--------------------------------------------------------

I won't use a dishwasher - dishes must be done by hand - and in a certain order.. My DD calls it "Mom's Dewey Dish System"...
----------------------------------

I'm sure I'll think of many more oddities about myself as this thread moves along..

 

[DLBDS]

I bought a fake white fur wine bottle bag with a white satin ribbon sewn in to tie around the neck of the bottle. I have my dog's ashes inside (sealed in the plastic bag he "came" in) with some fiber fill stuff that you put inside pillows so he's comfy-cozy. I keep him in the center of the bed so he doesn't roll off during the night and place him in the center of the bed in front of the pillows in the morning after the bed is made. He sleeps between my husband and I. He was mostly white with a few light tan markings. The wine bag is perfect. It screamed "Tiger!" when I saw it.

Most people think it's morbid. I say, bite me.

 

[DLBDS]

One more...

I take my showers in the dark.

My bathroom has 2 large windows and even though there are wood blinds, I just KNOW someone is standing out there trying to see in. I turn my closet light on and shut the door. It' gives off just the right amount of light to see by. On a full moon night I can see fine without the closet light. The moonlight comes in from the dormer window above the shower.

 

[rhanditresmom]

ok...here is another one!

I use embroidery thread and stitch an "x" on the bottoms of my socks. The socks that come together as a pair in the package remain a pair...they get the same color "x". I cannot stand the thought of the socks NOT staying in the same set they came in. When I wash, I just look for "x's" of the same color....puts my mind at ease!

 

[MomofKatie]

Wow, I'm starting to feel like a really well adjusted person!

Driving across bridges scares me to death. I'm afraid it will collapse when I'm right in the middle. I think it must be an inherited phobia - A great uncle of mine would NOT drive over one. If he could not hire someone to drive him across he would turn around and go back.

Oh I am so with you. I hate bridges, I always thought it was growing up in earthquake country. When I was a kid we were driving over the Oakland Bridge and I asked my Dad what would happen if it broke. He assured me the Bridge would never break, then along came the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989 and it did in fact break. I avoid bridges at all cost.

The worst one I have ever encountered is in Tampa Bay, FL. the "Sundial" bridge I think, I was driving to the inlaws from the airport, I saw it in the distance but there was no way around, I don't think I have ever been so scared!!! There was construction work being done and the only lane available had been moved clear to the edge. It is the steepest thing I have ever seen, that was a pure white knuckle drive.


Other oddities/secrets:

I must sleep on the same side of the bed always.

I put apple juice on my cereal, don't like milk.

My DH hates butter, he eats everything you can imagine putting butter on dry. If I am making cookies he has to have shortening as he is convinced he can taste the butter. My DH loves my stuffing. Every year at Thanksgiving I come up with an excuse to send him to the store so that I can get him out of the house long enough to add the enormous amounts of butter to my stuffing that he has no idea is there. Then I take the wrappers to the neighbors garbage so he can't find them. He eats his weight in it every year

Ok, I know we're not supposed to judge in this thread, but can I just say "EWWW"

I know, I admited to something even grosser, sorry!

Its okay, this is why no one knows this. I never eat cereal except late at night when the family is in bed or on the occassional sick day when no one is home, even the cats cringe, but so far they haven't given up my secret.

ps - orange juice works too

Ok I've got a couple more--I knew I was weird but actually thinking about why I'm weird is making me wonder if I should be mentioning these to someone?!

First-I have to sleep on whatever side of the bed is closest to the door or window-If the bed is in the middle of the room and one side is a wall and the other a window I sleep on the window side-If the bed is in the middle of the room and one side is a closet and the other a wall I figure out which side is the closest to either a door or window.

Second-I absolutely cannot sleep with anything near my mouth or covering my face- I will freak out- The air has to be cool not the hot leftover air I just expelled

Third-I hate to throw up--I will hold it for hours using breathing to control it- I will not unless it is absolutely necessary

Fourth-There is no way on Gods green earth I will throw up in a dirty toilet--If it gets to the point I can't hold it anymore Dh has to clean the toilet even if it was cleaned that morning--I just can't do it

YUP...ME TOO!!!

I also still have my baba..my baby blanket.

There are others I will take to my grave...

Me too!

I've been a nanny for 12 years and cared for 7 different children, so that's a LOT of sippy lids! It makes me CRAZY that Playtex is now selling cups with lids that don't match! WHAT IS THAT? The lids MUST match the sippy cup! I may have to wean my current little guy off of sippy cups so I won't have to deal with it anymore!

If you look back you will see I posted about still sleeping w/a blankie-LOL-It must be something in the water up there in Mass

 

[Kimickey]

I'm 28 years old and a mother of two and have always wanted to become a model. NO one knows this about me.

I"m also an absolute neat freak, my house has to be spotless before I go anywhere.

Crazy as this may sound, I will wash my car inside and out before going on a TDY (business trip, I'm Air Force) or on vacation all for it to sit in a garage at an airport.

I used to be a gymnast - then I hurt my back and had to stop. I was pretty good and competed on a national level for juniors. I guess it was good since I'm now almost 6ft tall.

I used to be a figure skater - then I broke both my knee caps. Again, I competed on a national level for juniors. This still bothers me since I loved being on the ice.

Next for me? Tennis. I competed at the state level until I was 17 - when I blew out my bicep tendon.

That was it for me and athletics. Someone was trying to tell me something and I finally got the hint.

I never hurt myself dancing though (ballet was part of my figure skating training), but being a ballerina just wasn't in the cards for me after I blossomed over a B cup. I still flit around my house though. It drives DH crazy - me in my pink toe shoes spinning around the kitchen, but it's great exercise.

Now, I'm content with hiking on a non-competitive basis. So far, no massive injuries. But, spring is coming and with it comes fresh chances to hurt myself.

ETA: I also once got a Grade 3 concussion getting on a tram at WDW. I'm a menace.
