So, here's 15 things you probably wish you never knew about another human being:
1) When I left Thailand, I snuck a small bag of soil out in my bra. It's in a box on the bookshelf. I also have a long locket-style necklace that holds a small amount of it. When I go back, I will return the soil to its rightful owner.
2) I drink Diet Coke daily and eat only once a day.
3) My dog sleeps on the bed with me.
4) I can't stand to see people hurt and cry during some of the daytime talk shows.
5) I have a hard time letting go of things people give me so have a cardboard box in the closet which holds all sorts of little treasures.
6) People get annoyed because I speak softly. I'm constantly chided to "speak up".
7) I have a bad habit of startling people because I am very quiet. This irritates my housemates in a way you can't imagine.
8) When I become frightened, I can not utter a word.
9) My cell phone ringtone is "Fur Elise".
10) I take a book with me everywhere.
11) I am terrible at anything related to money. In the overall sense, I don't care much for money and don't like dealing with it.
12) There's an older guy here in the neighborhood who always wears shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, even in the dead of winter. He always wears a fisherman's hat. He carries a large messengers bag. I don't know where he is going but he walks to and from daily. I wish for the courage to speak with him. He's probably an interesting person.
13) I have only experienced one "one night stand" in my life. I was driving from Baltimore to Tucson and met the guy in a coffee shop. It was in Woodbridge, Virginia. Something about the soft rain and the Blue Ridge Mountains...
14) I have a morbid fear of anything rotting. I'm compulsive about cleaning the refrigerator. Perfectly good stuff probably gets tossed because my eyesight is bad and I can't always read the expiration date.
15) I have tried eHarmony.com ~ It was a waste of money. And I'm sometimes afraid I will never meet a suitable man again.
Your turn. Tell me something quirky, odd or irritating about yourselves. :)
Peace to all,
Thailand Gal
