6 weird things

Kari did this, and tagged anyone who hadn’t done it yet, so I’m giving it a try – listing 6 weird things about me:

1. I really, really like things to be even – not just pictures hanging on walls, but if something touches my left arm, I feel kinda ‘unbalanced’ until the same thing happens to my right arm. Similar things happen with certain walking patterns (even numbers of steps).

2. I am still scared of watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, from the first time I watched it when I was very young – there’s a scene with a scary man who locks the kids away in a basement room (I feel like he maybe has some candy to lure them in, but I can’t be sure). I refuse to watch it to this day. (Same goes for Pete’s Dragon – scary!).

3. Several people have had something similar to this on these lists, but here’s mine – I play along with music when I listen, as if I’m playing the piano along with the music. I used to do this a lot more than I do now (mostly cause I’m not playing piano now), and I periodically do something similar when I’m talking and I ‘type’ the words.

4. I prefer driving alone – not that I mind being in the car with people, but I love my ‘alone time’ in the car, listening to NPR or singing along to CDs. Unfortunately, I also have a tendency to get lost while alone, so having people in the car is sometimes a necessity :)

5. My knees and elbows hyperextend. I don’t think this is particularly weird, but everyone who sees it gets a little weirded out, so I figured I’d add it here.

6. There are some foods whose smells I like, but I don’t like the actual foods. Bacon and coffee both fall into this catagory – love the smells, but really don’t like the food/drink. I do like turkey bacon, but coffee is a no-go.

OK, anyone else who hasn’t gone this, go ahead and take off – comment here if you do!
