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.)
Concerning #5 … Alisha is … my mother?
I sit in the bathroom sink too!
Hi Alisha, You don’t know me, but I found your blog through Kelli. I’m one of the kids from youth group. I just wanted to let you know that we share all but #4 in common (and that I should do more often). Maybe we were separated at birth? The next “Why I’m weird” list should confirm it.
In all seriousness, I enjoy your blogs.
Ummm…I have eaten Cool Whip all by itself…I mean whole thing…good times. You are not weird, most people don’t admit they do these things.
