•• I've Been Tagged! ••

Hmm, six things that noone knows about me...now I've got everyone else's lists stuck in my head and might have a hard time thinking of anything original...

6. I completely overanalyze EVERYTHING. This applies to both making decisions and my interactions with other people. A good portion of each day is spent worrying about stupid things like whether the stranger in the elevator thought I was a moron because of the inane smile that I gave them because I couldn't think of anything interesting to say and had to do something because there's no damn elevator music!

5. I should have been born in the 40's or 50's. I am so hopelessly uncool in today's modern world, and I LOVE old movies/music/clothes/etc. (Carey Grant, anyone?) I totally would have fit in better back then.

4. If I see someone I know in a store, I often go out of my way to avoid them, even if it's not someone I dislike. I think this goes along with Tasha's not wanting to talk on the phone thing (I'll do ANYTHING to avoid having to call people other than immediate family members.) and with my overanalyzing thing. I don't do well with small talk so I don't want to have to talk to the people and look like a moron. Not like I'm hiding behind stacks of vegetables or anything, but I'll change my route through the store or pretend like I forgot something at the end of the aisle I was just at so I can turn around.

3. I eat my Lynn Wilson burritos with Miracle Whip. I know, it sounds gross! I don't know how it got started, but I've eaten them like that since I was little. It's just sort of like sour cream. And no, I would never do it with mayo--it's not the same thing. And I don't do it on any other kind of burrito or Mexican food. Now everyone knows and I can stop pretending it's sour cream.

2. I like a couple Brittney Spears songs. I think this is the hardest to admit. Normally I don't associate an artist's (and I use the term loosely in this case) personal life with the quality of their music, but I REALLY despise her as a person. Such a trashy, skanky, well, you know. And her music is trite crap. But there are a couple songs that I find myself singing in my head and I want to put them on my iPod but I'm aftraid someone would see them there. There is my secret shame.

1. I'm a total germaphobe. I have hand sanitizer everywhere, and I can't eat without using it or washing my hands first. I flush toilets with my foot, and I have to use a paper towel to open the door of public restrooms. I also have to stop myself from yelling at people in public restrooms who don't wash their hands (I usually content myself with a scathing glance). I mean, we're talking grown women who should know better. Movie theater patrons seem to be the worst, but I see people do it at work all the time too! Eww!

•• Greetings! ••

I'm finally starting my blog, though I don't really have the time to maintain it. It just looked so fun! I'm already past the end of my lunch break, though, so we're just getting the bare bones for now. I'll try to update more soon...
