Boy, this will be difficult...not that I'm not odd, it's just, I'm not sure what other people might consider odd. I could very easily make a Shedu sort of statement here...instead I'll just say, "To each his own." and make up ten things:

1. Well, just looking around me, I'd say that I try really hard to be organized, but fail miserably. I start out with the best of intentions and begin organizing into piles...file, throw away, save, etc. Then, my brain shuts off and I can't go much further. Either it stays in piles, or I have to create a file for everything...I just can't seem to make things fit.

2. I'm addicted to coffee and have about a hundred mugs...but I only drink out of one of them. He he, don't tell Dave.

3. I am a butter freak and put butter on just about everything. I have very specific rules. Only stick butter for popcorn, only tub butter for mac n cheese. On veggies and potatoes there must be an even layer and enough for it to pool in the middle of my plate. On bread, the even layer's thickness must be proportionate to the thickness of the bread.

4. When I rent movies, I MUST peruse the entire selection of New Releases AND the entire selection of whatever genre I'm thinking about getting before I make my decision...which takes FORever. This is why we finally went to Netflix.

5. Number 4 brings me to my next oddity which is about #2. Now, this is more information than I've ever given any of you, but I'm just going to type it quick and forget that I did. Whenever I'm shopping (usually alone) and it's taking a long time for me to make up my mind, I suddenly feel the urge to uh..."bear down" as Kato would put it. I don't know why, the science and the probability of it all escapes me, but this leads me to...

6. I won't go #2 in a public place...unless I have my own room with a fan and a locking door. So when Number 5 happens to me I just have to hold it in...'cause I am not dropping that in a Target bathroom.

7. Okay, I'm not sure I like where this little oddity task is leading me, but I'll just say it...I don't like to have sex during the day...it is a nighttime activity.

8. I sing like I'm an American Idol finalist in my car. I don't just mean I belt it out...I practice, I try different things like opening my mouth really wide, or singing with different accents...it's truly a job. Sometimes I turn the radio off and try out different songs that I might sing for my audition. Then I imagine Simon Cowell saying "I'm not being rude...but that has to be the absolute worst version of that song I've ever heard!" And then I cry a little bit.

9. Let's see...I try really hard to ACT normal...even when I'm alone. I just think to myself, "what if I was under surveillance? What sorts of awful things would they see and hear?" Am I ever really myself? Who knows? I just don't want to ever be one of those people that you catch driving down the road digging an apparently monster sized booger out of their nose like they're alone in their bathroom.

10. I guess this last one is a stretch...it's more something I really don't like about myself. I go out of my way to try and make everyone happy. Now I know that realistically this is not possible...but it doesn't stop me from trying. It causes me great distress when someone around me is not happy and this leads me to try and fix it. Which probably causes me to say some really stupid things.

So now you know a few of my dirty little secrets...still waiting for Stems and I'd like to see Whitey's too.
