Why I Am Weird!

February 7, 2009

I have decided to stop denying that I am not normal.  I don’t even try to be normal anymore…it is way too much energy.  I am accepting  the fact that I am weird.  So…I have decided that weekly I am going to list five reason why I am weird. (Maybe it is an exercise in self-acceptance.)

1.  I have an abnormal love of Cool Whip.  My love of Cool Whip is at such an extreme I can tell you how much is costs at various stores.  Most products I know how much it cost at a couple…cool whip I know the price at most major grocery retailers.  (This is for the Fat Free Version: Target: $1.02, Walmart $1.46, Shop N’ Save 1.68, Dierbergs 1.76)

2.  I love writing in pencil.  This is not something many adults like to do…but I love pencils.  I recently got a whole bunch of automatic pencils and I adore them!  I know it is only on step up from crayon…but my handwriting looks wonderful in pencil.

3.  I think Dry Erase Markers smell good.  I do not inhale them, it is bad for my brain and not Godly and just plain bad, but I love the smell.  When people buy the low odor ones…I am a little disappointed.  I have no idea why I think they smell great, but I do.  I am not suggesting it should be a new fragrance of body wash at Bath and Body Works, but I sure do like it.

4.  I am obsessed with eyebrows.  I pluck mine daily and complain about my husband’s constantly. (Sorry honey!) I cannot handle the uni-brow!  Stray hairs drive me nuts.  I just have to have them just so. (I sit in the bathroom sink…just so I can get close enough to the mirror to see the little random hairs.)

5.  I watch the Golden Girls everyday…even if for just a minute or two.  This might just be plain sad.  I have no idea why, but the show still make me laugh and can sooth me to sleep.  That Sophia can still get me!  (With this I must end this entry…because I am not just weird.  I am pitiful.)

Why I love the…

When I write I realize I love to use the …  There are many reason why.  I think it is time to share them.  First and foremost, it allows a space for you, the reader, to fill in your thoughts.  This allows me to look smarter because your deep intellectual thoughts are filled in where I have just placed empty space.  This is brilliant!  Second, I can disregard basic rules of grammar.  I love that!  The… can fill in any space, where proper punctuation should be placed.  It also allows for the run on sentence to be acceptable.  It is pure grammatical freedom.  Once again brilliant!  (I think I may be a genius!)  Lastly, I love the…because when I am just not sure what to say I can…or if there is something I want to say but shouldn’t I can…I can also…. randomly because it is my blog and it makes me…smile!!!! 

(If you hate the…sorry.  I just cannot stop…)
