Weirdness - The Cheer Up Post
I've had a bad week. When I logged on, I thought maybe I'd write a post all about it (I got hurt, I got sick, my husband had emotional issues, and then a friend died), but I don't think I will. Sometimes venting and crying helps, but sometimes I just need to think about something else. So.
Tell me three strange things about yourself. They don't have to be feakish, and they don't have to be secrets, just things that make other people go, "Huh?" I'll start.
1. I fingerspell things to myself for no reason. While I'm driving, while I'm walking, while I'm waiting in lines. I fingerspell song lyrics, or thoughts I'm having, or just my name. I'm not a good signer, and I actually can't read it very well when other people fingerspell at me; it's just a habit.
2. I love old Burma-Shave jingles. I'm way too young to remember them (my parents are too young to remember them), but I think they're awesome. I get really angry when I see the Burma-Shave nostalgia merchandise in stores, because they seem to think the way to convey "old" is with a shaving brush and mug. Hello! The whole point of Burma-Shave was that it didn't require a brush. "Shaving brush/ so wet and hairy/ I've passed you up/ for sanitary/ Burma-Shave." (that might be an inaccurrate quote; it was off the top of my head)
3. I am addicted to Chap-Stick. Not lip balm, Chap-Stick, particularly the cherry kind. I feel uncomfortable if I don't have any on, so I usually have a Chap-Stick in my purse, on my desk, and beside my bed. In order to enable this addiction, my husband get me ten tubes of cherry Chap-Stick every year and puts them in my Christmas stocking.
Okay, so now that I sound extra weird, share something distracting and odd about yourself. If you can't think of three, I'll take fewer.

1) anytime I am talking to someone but can't use my voice, (loud background noise, or waitress come while I am chewing) I automatically start signing, without realizing I am doing it. It doesn't matter that they have no clue...my brain just jumps track when voice is impossible.
2) I *LOVE* olive juice. LOVE it with all my tiny little salt-addicted heart. I never throw it away, I will keep a jar empty of olives and have a swallow of the juice every night as a treat until it is gone.
3) I hate water. *Hate* to be wet. Hatehatehate. If I could do sandbaths like some birds do, I would be a happy happy person.

My husband and his sister have been known to fight over the pickle juice, but I don't know if I know anyone else who drinks olive juice. *hands you an award for being unique*
