Quirks Tag

I have to admit that I seem to be a lot quirkier than most other people. I have seen this TAG on so many other peoples sites so I've have lots of time to think over which of my quirks would cause the least amount of embarrassment to myself. Thanks, Erin, for tagging me. Here goes the fun:

1. I am terrified of squirrels! When I was little and growing up in MD there was a whole craze going about rabies and which animals to stay away from. Well, of course, squirrels was one of them. One afternoon I was sitting on my porch reading those "choose your own mystery" books when a squirrel starting walking towards me. It kept getting closer and closer and I started freaking out and looking for signs of rabies. It got within 2 feet of me and I was sure it was just going to pounce and start gnawing at my neck. Nothing happened, but I still have that same fear when I see squirrels!

2. Before I eat my Snickers, I have to eat the nugget off the bottom first, but have to leave the last little inch "un-nibbled." This way, the bar lasts longer and I have the last bite to savor the "full" taste of the Snickers bar. I guess the same applies for the Kit-Kat's as well. I break them up and nibble the chocolate around the edges before I eat the wafer.

3. I won't eat foods that become mushy after a liquid has touched it. i.e., I have to put syrup on one pancake and eat it before I will add syrup to the next one. I will never eat biscuits and gravy, bread pudding, put ice cream on cake, dip bread in a sauce,. . . you see where I'm going with this, right?

4. I absolutely HATE hair falling into my eyes. I would rather have a mermaid haircut, long and straight, then have to endure this haircut again! That reminds me of another quirk . . .

5. I don't like hair separated from anyones body. I get grossed out when people put their hair on the floor instead of a trashcan because I just imagine it getting caught in my toes. This is a reason I don't like public swimming pools; because other people's hair gets into my hands and it makes my stomach churn.

6. When I initially fall asleep at night, I have to lie on the side of the bed closest to the door, facing the door because if someone is going to come in, I want to be awaken to see them. But, if I wake up in the middle of the night and need to fall back asleep, I lie on my stomach, facing the middle of the bed, with my toes hanging over the end of the bed and I put a pillow over my face. Weird, I know, but now I can't fall asleep any other way.
