So here it is. 10 things you didn't want to know about yours truly.
1. I can turn my arms around almost 360 degrees. It's an awesome party trick and is great for creeping out people but I cannot for the life of me remember how I figured out I could do it but I'm bendy like a pretzel thanks to hypermobile joints. I'll vlog it for you one day.
2. When I was little I used to think the emergency stopping lane next to the freeway was actually an emergency shopping lane. I imagine that if you were on your way to someone's house when you realized you'd forgotten to grab something for morning tea you could pull in to it and it would lead you directly to the shops.
3. I have been known to eat slices of apple dipped in Nutella. Actually sometimes I don't even bother to cut it up and just slather it over the outside. I come away with a bit of a Nutella mo' but it's totally worth it.
4. Going in to a toilet immediately after a woman and finding the toilet seat up kinda freaks me out a bit.
Yes, this is my toilet. |
5. Sitting on a chair when it is still warm from someone else's bum makes me dry retch. I realize there has been no touching of flesh but the idea of my bottom stewing in someone else's farts just does not sit well with me.
6. I'm scared of anything that moves unpredictably. This includes cockroaches, jumping spiders, crickets and drunken teenagers.
7. I've never ever had a credit card. It's less about being responsible and more about not having any trust in myself to resist shiny things.
8. I generally take really short showers, like a few minutes at the most, and I have no idea how people can stay in there any longer than that. Don't you get bored?
9. I am a snorer. Of the chainsaw variety. When looking for roomates for Blogopolis I was shitting myself that I would not be able to find another person willing to admit their nocturnal noises weren't the prettiest. Until I found Kelley. Except she says I make cute snoring noises. I think Map Guy would disagree with her.
10. I watch movies that I love over and over and over again until I know all the words. If it's a sad movie though I'll fast forward through the sad bits and just pretend it didn't happen.
Now that your life is complete from knowing these 10 things, it is time for me to pass the torch...
Miss Pink @ The Mummy Autobiography, Jen @ Four Bees at Home, Lil @ Going Left and Kellie @ The Good, The Bad & The Unnecessary. Go forth and tell me 10 things I didn't really want to know.
Tell me something about YOU that I don't need to know.
As much as I try, I just can't take short showers. It is my thinking space. I drag out my showers as long as possible, well until I feel guilty for wasting water.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same with the chair thing, shower thing, and credit card. *nods*
ReplyDeleteCrap, now I need to think of something you guys don't know about me!
Brilliant! I love love love it! Although I can't trust you anymore purely because of the credit card situ. And Law & Orders are to me what your favourite movies are to you. Thanks Glowless!
ReplyDeletexoxoxoxo
The toilet seat thing freaks me out too! what is up with that??? But i looove a long shower, i dont get bored, i live the time out :)
ReplyDeleteOMG I thought the same thing about the 'emergency sHopping' lane when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteI am the extreme opposite of you in the shower. I TRY to take short showers but before I know it - ten minutes have passed. I think there is a totally different space-time continuum in my shower than in the rest of the world. Or at least ... that's my story and I am sticking to it!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Particularly impressed by #7!
ReplyDeletei'm with you on the toilet seats being up. it's just weird? what could they possibly have been doing in there? why oh why is the toilet seat up and oh shit am i in the men's toilets???
ReplyDeletelol!
you make cute noises AFTER the truck changing gears in a deserted tunnel noises.
ReplyDeleteJust so we are clear.

Your list is kinda cool and kinda familiar. I "think" too much about the maybe, the could have, the wtf, of situations where other humans have been.
ReplyDeleteI could never share a room since hub moved to own room. I love love love my alone space more than anything.
I have a fear of "lifting the lid" on a toilet in public loo "in case of what I may see" and how CAN people leave IT there........ Throwing up a little right now at vision.
The toilet thing - YES! What's with that?!
ReplyDeleteOh that's funny. Thanks for sharing. I just might try nutella and apples... I do like nutella from a spoon! And the warm seat thing.. I get sista! I'm with you, ick! And I can't do long showers. Bored? yes! Wash, rinse, get out. what else is there? and the movie thing... got me again! lol we could almost be twins! almost.
ReplyDeleteOkay tell me, what's your time record with the shower thing? Mine is 60 seconds give or take. Hah! Beat that.; )
ReplyDeleteI actually laughed out loud at No. 5. I totally agree with No. 7 and I am on the same planet as you with No. 10. I will even go out of my way to not see a sad movie that EVERYONE ON THIS EARTH is raving about just to avoid the sad bits (i.e. The Notebook)
ReplyDeletethere are a few movies i have watched over and over again and my mum used to always say how that just surprised her how i could do that
ReplyDeleteSoppy movies are avoided at all costs here. I also refuse to see The Notebook or anything with with Sally Field in it.
ReplyDeleteIt's great for trivia nights :)
ReplyDeleteTwin powers, activate!
ReplyDeleteHehe I always want to look back and see if it was a cross dresser :P
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for clearing that up xxx
ReplyDeleteI change my theory every time. Raised by men. Cross dresser. Cleaning afterwards. Who knows?
ReplyDeleteI have a visa debit card so I can buy online though :)
ReplyDeleteI can understand that. It's sometimes the only place you're ever alone!
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to know that :-)
ReplyDeleteWooohoooooo!!!! This is the best thing I have heard all day! I am not alone in my 'can't read that fast when I'm 6'-ness.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag :) I hang around people with credit cards and make them buy me cool stuff.
ReplyDeleteAim for random :)
ReplyDeleteMap Guy works for the water board... if I took a long shower I'd be shot.
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished :)
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on the warm seat thing! Even worse, sitting on a warm toilet seat . . . so yucky.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I have been known to have some longish, hottish showers and loving it. Somedays that is the only place I get any real alone time and I relish it.
I wanna see those hypermobile joints. Go on. Vlog it. I dare ya ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're weird! Except for the chair thing. I lose time while in the shower. I'm sure that some sort of time warp gets turned on at the same time as the taps.
ReplyDeleteThank you for not tagging me. I don't think I'm weird enough :D Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it...
You vlog it, I'll kill you! I have a weak stomach for such shenanigans :)
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile I hear you with the emo thing. But you knew that xox
Absolutely love the emergency shopping lane. Did a quick day trip to Perth today and kept looking at the side of the freeway and giggling...
ReplyDeleteThat shopping lane thing was kinda crazy, but then I remember when I was a kid, I thought skeletons lived in the moon and cooked soup in their kitchen all day.
ReplyDelete#5 Yes!
ReplyDelete#10 yes yes yes!
I love long showers, but can't have them anymore. Where I'm living now, if I turn the shower on more than a trickle it floods the bathroom, and if I stay in more than three minutes the hot water runs out if I haven't adjusted the handle "just so". It's tricky, but I'm getting the hang of it.
I'm so with you on being scared of things that move unpredictably. Yes even (especially) teenagers. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI disappear into another realm in the shower. I never really know how long I've been in there
Even worse, sitting on a warm toilet seat. Ewwww I hate this!
