Seven Oddities

I introduce to you "7 facts about me"...brought to you by Miss. J:

1. I easily attach myself to "things & or people". I don't know why, but I do. I do crazy things like name inanimate objects. I seem to have particular strong connection with my cars. Of course every car I have ever owned or drove has be given a name, and when the time has come to part....I morned the loss. I even have nightmares about people stealing my cars.
2. I fall into the salty category. There are people out there who crave chocolate and sweets and just love dessert, and I'll admit, I can always eat ice cream, but I have to follow it with something salty. Always!
3. I love to travel! Especially internationally. I love to see all the different cultures, try new foods, and just be a part of it all. I too, like Amanda, wish I were independently wealthy so that I would be free to travel when and where I please.
4. Phones bug me. I was annoyed in college when students would answer their phones in class, I'm annoyed when I see children (who don't even need phones) conversing with their friends on the phone who happen to be mere feet away, and I'm annoyed when phones at work ring incessantly. Don't get me wrong I'm not anti-phone, I just wish people a) wouldn't use phones to excess b) wouldn't buy phones for young children who don't need phones c) would learn phone etiquette.
5. I am terrible at world games. I'm no good at scrabble, text-twist, boggle, crosswords, and other various games like unto. Perhaps I've just siked myself from being good at these games, but I really feel I lack the vocabulary, and spelling skills to actually achieve success at these games. I guess I should hone my skills better instead of admitting defeat.
6.I have a hard time separating reality from fiction. This fact underlies the fact that I can't watch scary movies, go to haunted houses, or be home alone if I watch CSI. Roy thinks it's the funniest thing to watch me freeze if he turns all the lights off. I am also very good at carrying on unrealistic conversations that go on for hours, especially with Jill.
7. I like office supply stores. I know this is strange, but I can't help myself. I especially love the pen isle where I can walk down and look at all the different colors and styles. I also get a kick out the office organization tools. Good times!
