blurry elevator self
Boho tagged me today so I guess that means I am coming out of hiding...
I haven't really been hiding just not having anything really to say...
6 wierd things about myself:
1. I have to make the bed and have the dishes done to really feel like my world is straight. My gramma said to me once "if your bed is made and the dishes are done than your house is in order" and I've taken that to the bank. The rest of the house can be in total disaray but if those 2 things are done I feel ok.
2. I think about death often; how, when, where and how I'll react to it. My therapist years ago told me that I fear not being prepared....so if I think about it now it will prepare me for later. Which I realize isn't really true but still doesn't stop the fact that death is just part of my daily thoughts.
3. I don't like condiments and neither does my husband along with not really being a big fan of beans. We live in a bean free, condiment world. I feel bad for Kadison.
4. I don't like calling people on the phone unless I know they are expecting my call; I fear that I'm bothering them....I try to overcome it but it's hard.
5. When walking at night I'd rather walk in the street than on the sidewalk where someone could easily jump out of the bushes.
6. When driving in to work while listening to the radio I find myself talking back to the DJ's like they're right there with me...
Now, here I thought I wouldn't be able to come up with 6 weird things about myself ..ha!
ps. I love typing "......." with everything. I'm much more conversational than storybook I guess.
Posted by stef at February 8, 2007 09:52 PMReading this makes me feel the same kind of connected-humanity as reading the PostSecret cards. Like your #1, I have to line up the shoes at night. They just get used and moved all around the next day (like making the beds and then they just get used again), but somehow it makes me feel like things are in order and okay and arranged. I also (#2) think about death a lot, and I really think too that it's about wanting to feel prepared (even if that's not really possible). And TOTALLY #4, even though I try to tell myself that *I* often love those random calls and that the people I am calling are usually friends and also that they would tell me if they were reallyreally busy, I still have that feeling and it's hard to reach out in that way. #5 as well. Being in the city I'm often stuck having to go on the sidewalks, but sometimes on non-busy streets I do actually walk in the streets instead.

Posted by: snwosparkle at February 10, 2007 11:46 PMI adore this post. Hmmm....could it be because I adore YOU, or merely a coincidence?? Anyway, I don't like walking in the street because I'm scared of cars and whenever I have to cross the street I feel like I'm about 4 or 5 years old again. I actually like EXTRA condiments. One of my most favorite meals was 20 years ago and it included ketchup, tartar sauce, bleu cheese dressing, cocktail sauce (glorified ketchup), lemon wedges, and malt vinegar. I was in Condiment Heaven! =)
Posted by: Becky at February 9, 2007 09:14 PMnot even ketchup???....
i'm the same about #4 and #5. i figure i can get out of the way of a car coming down the street easier than i could get away from someone lurking in the bushes...
