Oddly, this is kinda hot.

Not so oddly, this is also hot.

i am extremely uncomfortable around umbrellas

i once bought a car because it had really cool roadrunner decals - it ended up being quite the lemon

i'm an early bird and a night owl so i'm wise and have worms

1) I am not afraid to burst into song, no matter who I'm with. This makes my mother very nervous and my bestest friends chime in. Fortunately for you I can carry a tune. Unfortunately for you I like to mangle the words of songs intentionally.

2) For example... if my room is perfectly clean and spotless and for some reason there is a sock in the middle of the floor, I will not pick it up. I don't know what perversity there is in my nature which makes this happen, but it's true. I won't pick it up. If you do, I probably won't notice.

3) My books are not shelved in any particular order. Some of my books are not shelved because I have no shelf space. I display even the books most people don't want to admit they've read because I don't go for that hipster crap.

4) Sometimes I find a cisdude hot. Justin Timberlake can bring sexy back to me anytime, and Tom Selleck is still a total hottie. I consider this being human, and nothing to do with sexuality or identification.

5) I still love my teddy bears and apologise when they have to sleep on the floor. Better yet, I don't make them sleep on the floor. I read The Velveteen Rabbit too many times as a tenderhearted little girl.

1. Do not mishandle my bag of chips at the grocery store, this is my pet peeve, as I hate broken chips.

2. I love to dress my dog up in her own clothes, which I buy in the second hand stores in the baby section.

3. I can yodel pretty darn good......

4. I do a great impression of the lion on the Wizard of Oz.

5. I would really, really like to hug a cow.....they are very misunderstood animals, very cat-like in their behavior.

1. I am a clean addict everything has to be spotless and the ladies that have been my partners have been clean addicts also.

2. I love to sit by my bedroom window watch the birds fly from tree to tree while I enjoy my morning cup of coffee.

3.I do my laundry three times per week.

4. I will not leave dirty dishes on my sink or counter !!

5. I have to own at least five bottles of colognes different scents.

I have a serious sugar addiction and have to start a sugar free diet soon. I wanted to wait until after valentines day so I could enjoy one more blast of chocolate before I start weaning myself off sugar. Its for health reasons...

I get hung up on old tv shows. I will watch every episode of the Waltons, then turn around and watch all the Brady Bunch shows.

I really dont care for music. Sometimes I can listen to it. Sometimes i feel almost normal about it. But most of the time, I dont like it much.

I take 12 pills a day.And thats way down from what I was taking. But they are all working great!

my fantasy is to have someone clean my house. Because it hurts to move in certain ways, I cant get on my knees, or stretch or push my arms, so I cant do baseboards, or hand scrub my floors.

1. I mostly refuse to take pills, my doctor only halfheartedly offers medication, knowing I will most likely turn them down. I have consistently found ways to recover from conditions, and without pills, so he knows that I am actually fine. I hope this works for many years to come.

2. I do not like the phrase "hot mess", it annoys me. I find it repugnant, and it feels heavy with sexism.

From The Urban Dictionary:

Hot Mess

1. When ones thoughts or appearance are in a state of disarray but they maintain an undeniable attractiveness or beauty.

2. a derogatory term describing a situation, behavior, appearance, etc. that is disastrously bad. Think "faux pas" but times ten. Possible origin is literal (think, steaming dogpile).

3. An attractive person, generally female, that repeatedly engages in situations which could negatively impact his or her social, mental, societal, and legal reputation. Examples include, repeated and excessive alcohol and/or drug consumption, a habit of being ejected from drinking establishments, a general disregard for the law concerning public safety, petty theft from convenience stores/supermarkets, and a voice that is about 3 decibels louder than everyone else.

4. An intoxicated attractive girl dressed in a sexy outfit and heels that make her unbalanced dancing seductively while acting very drunk. Often seen stumbling outside of bars/clubs, slurred speech and unable to keep eyes open for long periods of time.

5. When someone's life is a mess but they are still super hot.

6. Someone or Something that is such a mess... the level of it, is off of the charts. It's past pathetic, past pitiful. It's to the point you almost have to walk away to keep from bustin a gut. Hot messes can exist in levels.

7. When one looks terrible, or acts in such a way that makes them unpleasant to be around.

3. I dream of dressing little dogs in frilly tutus...

4. I love the store New Seasons, I go there intentionally to try samples, I also do this at farmer's markets. I do buy some things, but I sample most things. This has led to more than a few moments of "Oh my god, why did I put that in my mouth"

5. I will go to a thrift store before I will go to a mall. I personally prefer fishing over shopping.

[VintageFemme]

1. NO waterspots on the kitchen or bathroom chrome. I'm a freak about it.
2. I prefer wildflowers to cut flowers any day. A handpicked bouquet of wildflowers tied w/ a ribbon will make me swoon way before a dozen red roses that's for sure.
3. I prefer semi precious stones to diamonds always. You couldn't give me a diamond that I would wear, ever.
4. I've gotten a little chubby this year but I'm way ok with it! I feel good.
5. NO WIRE HANGARS! Love, Mommie Dearest

[shiagirl]

1. I spray lysol on all door knobs inside and out of my home once a week, along with wiping down remote controls, cell phones, counters, any kind of knob (kitchen door knob) or handle (fridge handle) with antibacterial wipes. I also spray my keys with lysol. I even spray my steering wheel in my truck with lysol. lol

2. I will not scrape my teeth on metal. I use my lips instead to slide food off a fork or spoon.

3. I cannot eat fuzzy fruit without peeling it. Examples; Apricots, Peaches, Kiwi.

4. I can't stand lazy people

5. I sit in public places facing the people and doors. I need to know what's coming.

[cinnamongrrl]

1. I CANNOT step on or walk directly over a sewer grate.... I read IT at a formative age (12)
2. I avoid public restrooms as much as possible....I once drove 16 hours to NC and didn't use the restroom. (I was 16 then and MUCH more neurotic that I am now...tg)
3. I never got over the "monster under the bed" mentality and I CANNOT leave any extremity dangling over the side of the bed. I am CONVINCED that something under the bed will grab me or even just TOUCH me ......and odder than THAT....i even have that problem when I'm on an air mattress..

4. I can't STOMACH the smell of wet peanut butter! When I wash out the empty jars for recycling...let's just say I dont love it

5. I really dislike dolls...can't have them in the house. I dont mean Barbies...I mean baby dolls....just give me the heebie jeebies....

[laruss]

1. I have fallen through 3 decks and am now very nervous to walk on one unless I can walk along the support beam. People really would it kill you to replace a rotting deck board.

2. I do not lend my books out because you would never know my books have been read. I do not bend pages or the spine and I NEVER write in them, not even text books. I will rewrite a whole page in my notebook just so I can make notes or highlite something.

3. I will always choose a self check out before going to a clerk just so I don't have to make mindless chit chat with a stranger, and if the person who mans all the self check outs comes to chit chat with me I will be pissed off for quite some time after I leave the store. Some people find this surprising because I am actually a nice person and will talk to people in the street.

4. I HATE labels or tags left on anything. I will even remove them at someone elses house. Why do you need the label saying it is a 2 litre container, why? Why do you need to know the energy rating of your appliance after you have it home? REMOVE the labels people... or I will.

5. My road trip foods of choice are beef jerky, wine gums and water. But, I hate green wine gums, so whoever is the navigator removes them for me so I do not "accidentally" get one (all my friends understand that this is their job). If I travel alone I stress about finding a green winegum in my hand and will freak and have to pull over if it makes into into my mouth. That is how much I hate green winegums.

Ok, yes I have some quirks... and I don't eat square hamburgers either (what is that about Wendy's?)

Hey! You stay away from my utility customers! I'm trying to help them learn how to use less electricity, and to educate them about the highest energy using appliances in their homes. They need their labels!

1) I have lived in places where there were cults that killed people, nuclear power plants that often leaked, serial killers that were never found, and satanic plots to kill community members

2) I have a haughty disregard for orange junk food...

3) I am deathly afraid to even be in a room where people talk about ghosts or the paranormal...and if you insist on doing so, I will have a literal melt down

4) I lost my brother and my father in the month of September. Its a tough month emotionally

5) I ran away once as a teenager..
