Ten Random Weird Facts

Rose asked me to do this meme.  And since she asked so nice, I agreed.  Without further ado, I offer proof of my weirdness:

1)  I don’t like putting my face under water at the pool.  I never mastered that holding your breath and breathing periodically thing they tried to teach me at swimming lessons.

2)  I had an umbilical hernia repair when I was a year old.  That’s the only time I’ve been hospitalized.

3)  I gave birth at home, twice, on purpose, in rented birthing tubs.  That’s right–no drugs!

4)  I’d rather do almost anything than make a telephone call.  (But I love when people call me on the phone.)

5)  I hate watching DVDs/videos at home.  Hate it.

6)  I cannot stand to hear people clink their fork or spoon on their teeth.

7)  I never went to a high school dance.  I only went to one high school football game.

8)  I am a pianist, yet I can only stretch my fingers across one octave, maybe nine keys on a good day.

9)  I wrote music in college and haven’t written a single song since.

10)  I’d love seeing movies in the theater alone.

Consider yourself tagged if you’d like to play along.  And thanks, Rose, for asking.

    I don’t like putting my face under water at the pool either and I’d say you are weird. But so am I. :) He-he

    I don’t like watching movies at home either, altho I can be persuaded when I am feeling especially kind.
    I hate making phone calls too!

    My husband hates the fork and teeth thing.

    It is funny how many weird things people actually have in common.

    First it was 5 weird things, then 6. Inflation has obviously struck the world of blogging.

    I could make ten keys with my right (still can) but only 9 with my left. Does that count as weird?

    I’m with you on numbers 4 & 6. And #6 makes me grimace, big time, to the point where I’m rude about it. ;-)

    Oh, I so hear you on #4…and now I understand your anticipation/dread of VBS!!! Uggh.

    I can’t stand watching movies in the theater–I’d much rather watch from my comfy chair-and-a-half in my den!

    And my husband DOES the fork and teeth thing. YUCK!

    I never went to a high school dance, either. Not even the prom.

    OOOOHHHH, I hate the silverware on the teeth too! Also, silverware on plates. You are not weird at all. People who are not bothered by this are! Those who are guilty of doing it are worse!!!

    Right there with you on #4. Why is that? I think I’m afraid I’m going to interrupt them or call at a bad time, etc. I love to communicate by email-even with locals.

    I’m going to play.

    Good for you, no pain no gain. I did no drugs for three and then the fourth was a c-section that I thought good god have mercy!
