Yay for Christine. Actually, she sounds much too sane and healthy to be posting here with all these lunatics. Must be due to her early childhood environment and her choice of music.
Interesting things about you

Bobbi - I said ALMOST :+. I still go back and forth. Some days I'm fine with who and what I am, others I think, "Oh, if I could only lose 20 pounds..."
And Robin - I don't think I've ever been accused of being too sane... LOL. And I did not mention my adoration for all things Buffett (Jimmy, not Warren!). That is a vital part of my life!
Okay, okay - here's the flip side:
* I was overweight in High School and very, very out of shape. I could not even run a lap at the school track.
* I HATED gym class.
* I still have days when I believe that people are pointing at me and laughing, saying "Look at that fatty." I just try not to make those too often...

Since I am way to sane for this crowd, I will share a quirk of my DD's boyfriend. I'm sure some of you nuts share the same flaw. He hates "fork-biters." You known, people who bite the fork when they put food in their mouth, making a little TING sound with their teeth. Unfortunately, I have found we are a family of fork-biters and sometimes I just have to laugh as he cringes during dinner.

I am horribly superstitious...with really weird superstitions. For example I can't light candles on Sundays.
I have had panic attacks over thinking I left a curling iron on, or the oven on, or the iron etc...so needless to say I check everything over and over.x(
I proudly speak Spanish fluently and am not Hispanic.
I've been told all my life I tend to come across as stuck up because I don't smile, but it's just extreme shyness. ;(

-My father is twenty-six years older than my mother.
-My husband and I got married in the same courthouse in which his grandparents were married and my parents were married (this was a coincidence; it wasn’t planned.)
-I was in a psych ward for the majority of the first year of my marriage (I can hold that one over my husband’s head forever, can’t I?)
-I have OCD, yet I'm the messiest, most disorganized person I know.
-I worked at a grocery store for 11 years and though my mother still works there, I have not set foot in the place since my last day of working there. And I never will.
-I have never, ever tried an olive, a brussel sprout, or beets.
-My mom used to read Poe to me right before bed when I was a child. I have seen more horror movies than anyone I know; I see all of these movies with my mother. My mother is the shyest, quietest person I know. I have never heard her swear, and I’ve never seen her commit an act of violence. Still, she once said, after exiting a theater upon seeing a horror movie, “Not enough people died in that one."
-I have one 'attached' earlobe and one 'unattached.' I'm a genetic contradiction.
-I've always had more male friends than female friends. This may be because I have two brothers and no sisters. Also, my dad stayed home with us and my mother worked.
-I used to waterload and I now hate water. I truly do. I drink it during workouts but rarely drink it otherwise.
-I've been 'cut-off' at bars for drinking too much and have been pulled over for drunk driving, yet I am a teetotaler and have not had a drink in over 10 years.

Most of my friends are surprised to find out I like hard rock music. Probably since I come across as quiet.
I don't like to leave bathroom & closet doors open. They must always be shut completely.
I smell new food before I eat it.
Every guy I have dated seriously has either been a Gemini or Sagittarius. (dh is the latter.) And no I didn't date them b/c of that. It was a coincidence.
I hate crowds or crowded small spaces like elevators. I have no problem riding an empty elevator but I will avoid crowded elevators.
At home, we don't even budge when the phone or doorbell rings. If we're not expecting a call or visitor, we simply ignore it. My friends know to call my cell phone to get ahold of me.
I will not sing for anyone except ds. Dh commented recently that he heard me sing for the first time the other day. (we've been married 10 years! )

)So interesting!!! Here are mine...
When I was a kid, I believed all inanimate objects had feelings. Thus, whenever I opened a dresser drawer, I would open them all so no one would feel left out.
Every guy who has ever dumped me has had a car accident shortly thereafter. And no, I didn't do any tinkering! :7
I knew I did not want to get married months before walking down the aisle. I didn't have the courage to stop the train wreck but I don't really regret it because my kids are so much of their father, and that's not a bad thing.
I am terrified of elevators since seeing a movie as a youngster in which some woman was crawling out of one and was trapped. Thus, I make myself get into an elevator regularly. For some reason this does not make me less nervous.
I am borderline agoraphobic and would rather be home than anywhere else. Yet the job I *chose* requires extensive travel.
My family is enormous and I have nearly 100 first cousins. I don't know most of their names and spend family parties tracing out the lineage in an effort to make sense of them all...

i also park very far away from any building i am going in so that no one parks next to me...not because i have a nice car, but because i can't stand to be crowded in the parking lot. i get mad when i walk out and someone has parked next to me....i guess i do get the side consequence of extra exercise....
i also chew the skin off of my fingernails and play with my hair. i am 37 years old. i have tried to quit playing with my hair and have had a white knuckle grip on a chair to keep my hands away from the hair to no avail. i have to touch everything to feel the texture....

Can't believe I forgot that one. I constantly play with my hair, twirl it in my fingers. I have done it since I was kid. I hated it when I was in military uniform becasue I had to keep my hair in a bun!

What a great thread ... here's some free association about me:
- i generally like animals better than people - what you see is what you get (although I have lots of friends - I just don't like the unkown masses - I think other drivers are insane, I never go to malls, etc.)
- this is probably b/c my dad divorced my mom to marry his office intern, got custody of me and then ignored me for 15 years. oh yeah, then my mom became a nun for 10 years.
- DH is 22 years older than me and is perfect (for me)
- DH does all of the cooking, he's an amatuer gourmet chef by night and a yeast genetisist by day
Dh used to be a beer brewmaster for Stroh's - I am allergic to alcohol
- I am an artist and used to live in NYC, now in Carrboro, NC
- I have 11 cats who all showed up at my house and were feral/homeless. They found me even though I live in town and not in the woods.
- and here's a physical one - if anyone else has this please let me know : I have orgasms when I do ab work! they start at the 27 th rep no matter what style of move ... needless to say, I only do ab work at home

Wow! If we all did that, can you imagine the toned abs all over the place!
oh man, this is fun! Thanks for playing along everybody. It's nice to know we sometimes share things we think no one else does. I think I have some more...joy
-my favorite letter is K and my favorite number is 24 (have NO idea but has been since I was little)
-I learned my right from left in music class in elementary school. It was a portable classroom (they needed to add on for space) and I always envision to this day the classroom and the teacher pointing to each door on the opposite ends of the room.
-I like to round things off like gas price, calories on exercise equipment, etc...I hate things like 298..Ack!
-I like to peel apart things like ice cream sandwiches instead of eating it whole (I get kooky looks from DH all the time)
-I am a diet pepsi-a-holic. I'm sure I'll keel over one day from sweeteners but at least I'll go happy.
Live with sincerity, love with passion, and dance like you mean it.

Arancini - I've read other women having the same thing happen. Must be a bear not being able to do more than 27 crunches though. But, I do have to admit that my first reaction was to hand you the Blue Ribbon and make you Queen of the Thread. I don't think many of us could top that one.

I thought of more too.
I dance. All the time. I dance driving my car... to the great amusement of the people in the cars around me
I do not, apparently, have a lucky number for abs. Not that I've found yet anyway. Knowing my luck, it's probably 754,000.
I'm terrified to wear any of the beautiful jewelry my SO has given me, because I don't want to lose it. So it sits in my jewelry box.
I never understand why people like me.
