5 things you never wanted to know about me.

Soft*Silver · 12-11-2011, 07:35 PM

I am a procrastinator. I put everything off. I use to think it was because i was so busy but now that I am not busy at all, i still do it.

I sleep two hours, wake up, toss and turn for an hour, sleep two, repeat cycle once more, get up and have my day. Sleep is restless, and I rarely get the rest I desire

I am so not a germ aphobe. I wouldnt shave my legs in the sink, tho. LOL. I think we live in an already too sterile environment and use way too many chemicals to separate us from natural living. From the foods we eat to how we clean our environments and bodies. The more we use chemicals to "clean" the more we get sick as a species.

I havent seen a movie in the theater in a long time. I miss it. But I cant stand the nuisance of other people. I am becoming more and more a recluse. I dont like the outside world all that much

I have two different ways to make my S's when i write. I use them both randomly.

I hate it when people call me, chatter away and then say “well I’m going to let you go now”, it really pisses me off. You were not holding me hostage. I was there on the phone of my own free will. I could have gone at any time. I’ve been known to just hang up when someone says that.

My feet have to be touching something. They can’t just hang out in the air. They have to touch the floor, a sheet if I’m in bed, each other, something, and socks touching them don’t count.

I love animals. All animals. So when I was offered a job as a dog officer I jumped at the chance, thinking it would be something I would love and that I would be good at it. I did it for a year. It was one of the most difficult periods in my life.

I am quite claustrophobic. Among other things centered around that phobia, I have a fear of riding on an elevator unless it is made of glass and I can see out. Through circumstances beyond my control I found myself living in an apartment eleven stories up. Walking up and down eleven flights of stairs every time I went anywhere got old pretty quick. I did desensitization techniques on myself and I always carried a book in case I got stuck so I could have something to do besides screaming and rolling myself into a ball. I am still not comfortable and some days it’s not possible and some elevators are just unacceptable but most of the time I can ride in one without freaking.

I hate drinking out of plastic but I am also fussy about glass. I have to wash the glass several times and rinse it for two minutes to be really happy about my drinking experience.

i hate gross feet. and i will stare at them thinking about how much they gross me out but i.still.can't.look.away. this includes funky toes.

unwashed hands before touching food will make me into instabitch.

i'm obsessed with the cleanliness of my kid's teeth. i must inspect them daily before i'll let him go to school/bed. i'm justified in this obsessiveness by the fact that he's gone 12 years without a cavity.

don't touch my boobies. i don't like it and you're doing it wrong anyway.

i'm so skilled at being vindictive and getting away with it that it's scary because i'm an opportunist. it's so scary that i'm very careful not to act this way cuz it's so harmful but i recognize those opportunities on a regular basis and refrain from acting on them. it's fun to play out in my head though.

"Instabitch"? Is that a new energy drink that gives you a kick when you need it (and where you don't need it)?

2. My tool of choice ( Besides THAT ONE) is duct tape...I am up to 105 official uses
3.Don't take food from my plate..I don't know where your fingers have been (or maybe I do )
4. Although I don't want you touching my food, I have NO issues about using your toothbrush ...go figure ?
5. I have a personal philosophy: If I don't recognize it- it doesn't go in my mouth... Words to live by !!

Duct tape is not a tool, yes Mz Villa it is handy but that doesn't make it a tool. Just sayin. Ha

instabitch....the instantaneous transition from happy to pissed cuz i have no time or patience for stupid.

Soft*Silver · 12-12-2011, 09:51 AM

I have developed a real need for cheetos. I have always found this food to be Styrofoam covered in orange shavings until now and this truly humbles me about changes as we age...

I wont drink juice unless I know its literally freshly squeezed from the fruit right before it is handed to me

About the only times I am not dour is when I am with my animals or in my garden. I really am turning into the cranky old lady of the neighborhood...lol

My fashion sense has gone away. never strong to begin with, I have always been a wild card when it comes to dressing, but nowadays, I dress solely for comfort.

The older I get, the more Me I become. No longer layered in rising to expectation of others and the culture, i am surprising myself with having the courage and audacity of a post menopausal crone

1. People who habitually use a lot of exclamation points in a row make me feel nervous, even through a computer screen. I feel like if I were close to them at that very moment they might be yelling or flailing their arms around.

2. I have a phobia about getting a paper cut in my eye and my friends like to irritate me by making paper airplanes while we're sitting in restaurants.

3. I'm not out at my job because one of the judges is notoriously biased against homosexuals and I don't want it to affect my clients. I resent feeling trapped in the closet by a puritanical old asshole so I always wear very high heels on days when I'm assigned to his courtroom because he's also quite short and towering over him makes me feel authoritative.

4. Sometimes I throw up on airplanes. It always happens when we're taking off so I can't do it in the privacy of the bathroom. The first time it happened I was fifteen and flying to Florida with friends and I didn't know what to do so I vomited down the front of my shirt. It's been almost twenty years since that first incident and a 24 hour fast and Dramamine before flying do wonders.

5. I get regular manicures, which is mostly a waste, because when I'm not working I tend to dress like a twelve year old boy. A twelve year old boy on his way to the skate park with a french manicure and a chignon.
