With some slight editing (mainly changing Sarah to Mandy) I present this to you in it's somewhat full glory.


Ok this is from Mandy . If you don't know her, well then you suck, since she is a cool girl. This originally came from my Myspace page, but since I don't use myspace for blogs, it goes here.

The Game:

The first player of this game starts with the "6 weird/things/habits about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a blog of their 6 weird habits/things, as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their comments and tell them to read yours. (which I'm not doing)

1. I have a lot of insane fears. I posted about them a little while back, but here are a few in no particular order. Needles. I pass out whenever I get a shot. I get squeamish and shaky when I see them on TV. I'm also scared of baseballs, pregnant women, and really long hair.

2. Every day in the shower I give myself a pep talk. I go over all the things that will happen that day, and prepare myself for them. I've been doing this since I was about 8 years old, and had a hard time dealing with people. Now I just do it, so that I have no surprises coming in the day.

3. For being a sugar-free vegetarian, I have the worst diet in the world. I never eat anything remotely healthy. Except for once month when I have a salad. My stomach constantly hurts, and I can't seem to stop eating the way I do.

4. This is probably the most embarassing on the list. I enjoy watching figure skating. I really do. Everytime I see it on TV I stop and watch it. I can't help it.

5. When I get bored, I tend to recite the alphabet backwards. I've done it so many times, that I can pretty much do it on cue. I find it helps on road trips. I tend not to think on how sore my ass is.

6. I purposely aim too high on things just so I can feel disappointed. I find it keeps my (very small) ego in check. I tend to try and over achieve, and stop myself just short of the goal.

That's all for now. Thank you Sarah. Whoops. I mean Mandy.

Now since then some of of these have changed.

1. I am in constant fear of making an ass out of myself around people that I respect. This tends to keep me indoors alone, so there will be a very small chance of me pissing someone off.

2. I am an avid watcher of crappy teen dramas on TV. I hate the OC. But I love Dawson's Creek, Veronica Mars, One Tree Hill, and most stuff on the WB. I also love Antiques Roadshow.

3. I still love to watch figure skating.

4. I am not gay.

5. Not only to pregnant women scare me, but also pretty girls. At least the ones that know how hot they are. Bitches.

6. I eat Tums like a motherfucker.

Seeing as how I'm on a roll, I might as well keep going.......(the constant fear I was talking about, might as well just accept the fact I'm a weirdo, and bring on the embarrassment)

7. I haven't gotten a haircut in five months. I have not shaved my beard in one month. And I refuse until I have a good reason. Vanity isn't one of them. Speaking of this, I've found the more hairy I get, the less inclined people are to talk to me. I pretty much get ignored by damn near everyone at work. It's very nice.

8. When I'm home alone, I sometimes pee sitting down. Why stand when you can sit?

9. I am not gay.

10. Every morning I have to hear "It's Your Thing" by the Isley Brothers to wake up.

11. I refuse to throw away clothes on a timely basis. I have shirts from the late eighties I still wear. That includes Vanilla Ice and New Kids on the Block. Not too mention my Chuck Taylors from high school.

12. Sometimes I challenge myself to say as little as possible in a given day. Record at home-0 words, three days. Record at work-5 words, 1 day.

13. My favorite place to shop is the grocery.

Well I think I have embarrassed myself enough now.
