6 Unspectacular Quirks
I have been tagged to list 6 things about myself that some of you may or may not know! This should be... interesting.
1 - I don't like it when my food touches other kinds of food on my plate. For example, when my jello salad touches the ranch from my house salad. TOTALLY ruins my appetite. Foods that are meant to mix, however, are fine (ie: mashed potatoes and gravy).
2 - I can't go to sleep at night if there are socks on my feet. It makes me claustrophobic. I also get claustrophobic if the blankets are tucked under the mattress. As a result, my bed is disastrous to make every morning.
3 - I will go to sparknotes.com, print off the character summaries, themes and symbols, etc from the website, and glue them into the binding of my book, to enhance my reading experience. Not all the time, but fairly often.
4 - I love ANYTHING to do with black licorice flavouring. From licorice, to gum, to altoids, to gumdrops and jellybeans, to candles. That is the most heavenly smell and taste in the entire world.
5 - If I ever had to choose a painful disease from which to die, I would choose tuberculosis. It's such a romantic disease. Not romantic in an "I love you" way, but "characterized by strangeness or variety; suggestive of adventure; suited to romance; wild; picturesque." (thank you, dictionary.com) It's so adventurous, and so many literary and film heroines have suffered from it. (ie, Satine from Moulin Rouge!) All of Edgar Allen Poe's family members died of "The Red Death" as it was called, which made him so fascinated with morbidity. It's just adventuresome and charming.
6 - I never realized I have this problem, until I heard Dani Kent talking about it. When people are discussing the human body, most notably surgeries or injuries, I can FEEL the bones in my body, and it grosses me out. this was never a problem until I heard her mention it. Even now, as I type this, I can feel the bones in my wrists and elbows against the desktop, and it makes my skin crawl.
Well, that's it for MY traits, but the terms and conditions of this game require me to tag six other people. The one stipulation, you have to link me in your blog, if you haven't already. Their rules, not mine. Truthfully, I don't care if you link me or not. I'm not entirely sure I want all of cyberspace reading my innermost thoughts....
But I digress. I nominate Casey Winters, Kate Daly, Cailie Ercanbrack, Crystalyn and/or Matt Jaynes - whichever notices first, Hye Soo Dixon, and Reilly Turner. Get a-crackin' folks.

No big deal...
This friggin' huge bug was only RIGHT in front of my doorway just barely.
It's about two inches long, no joke.
This thing is Satan's very own insect.
Creepy.
I'll post the pictures I took of it later.
Two years later
Today is Edwin's homecoming.
I can't believe that two years have come and gone.
I saw him Friday night, and it wasn't awkward at all, so that's good.
But he's changed a lot, and I've changed a lot.
I don't expect anything to come of this, and
frankly I don't necessarily WANT anything to come of this.
Except for being friends again. That'll be nice.

Well, well, well... look who came crawling back
Yup, it's me. FINALLY blogging again.
I'm currently going to school at SUU, and just livin' the dream.
Hopefully I'll be better at posting on this dang thing.
Meantime, here's two photos I took... for you all to look at.
