Quirks!!

I (Leighanne) have been tagged! Here are the rules:
1. Link the person who tagged you...Steph(An amazing blond bombshell!)
2. Post these rules.
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them.

I tried to think of quirks that have not been previously mentioned by my friends, such as vacuuming (Love it!)

1. I can't stand to have dirty feet or hands. I wear my shoes if someone's floor looks dirty because I hate little pieces of things to stick to the bottom of my feet. I dread wearing flip flops to the park because I hate sand or grass on my feet. My hands get swollen and itchy if they are dirty. It also happens at antique stores and thrift stores, so I wash frequently. I procrastinate pulling weeds and when I do I am very careful to not get too dirty. I need to be clean! (Esp. hands and feet).

2. Now to be embarrassed...as my close friends can testify...I blow my nose a lot. I have to have a clear passageway when I breathe. I blow my nose morning, noon, night, and every hour in between. If I can't breathe out my nose, I forget to breathe. This quirk is necessary for my survival!

3. This quirk is kinda Creepy! I have a sixth sense! I can FEEL it when the TV is on. If I am in another room or just getting out of the shower and Justin has turned the TV on somewhere in the house, I can feel the TV vibrations. I don't have to hear the sound or anything, I just get a vibe. I am 98% accurate!! Another quirk about the TV is the fact that I like the volume to be really low. Justin hates this cause he can never hear his shows. I get frazzled and anxious if all I can hear is the TV. I am in constant control of the volume and adjust sound through commercials, movies, etc. (cause the sound fluctuates SO much, annoying!)

4. I hate to sweat! It feels so nasty. Because I hate to sweat, I have never been big on exercising (until now!). I don't like to be hot and so we keep our house pretty cool throughout the year so we can always sleep under the covers. Luckily Justin is hot blooded too and likes the air conditioner.

5. I shower at night because I like my hair to be damp when I go to sleep. It keeps me cool (refer to #4). I have to be clean to sleep and have a clean bed. When I was growing up, I wouldn't even let anyone touch my bed, sit on it, or anything because they were "dirty" or would make my bed "dirty". It drives me nuts when Justin sorts his laundry on the bed or sets his shoes on the bed while he puts them on, etc. The bed has to be as clean as possible. Oh, back to the shower thing...I also like to still taste toothpaste in my mouth when I go to sleep because it lets me know that I brushed!

6. This one has been a challenge and caused me a lot of anxiety in my short life. I am scared to make phone calls. I have panic attacks if I have to call people for church callings, appointments, returning calls, making arrangements, etc. I am fine if someone calls me, but I guess I worry that if I call someone, it will bother or annoy them. I get tongue tied and forget what to say because I am so nervous. And I hate to admit that it is even hard for me to call close friends. I love to talk, if they call me. I have explained this to people before so they would not get mad at me for waiting until the last minute or not returning a call. I realize that it is a huge inconvenience for everyone involved. I think this quirk makes many aspects of life difficult for me, but is has gotten a little better. I used to not even be able to pay for things like at McDonald's or Walmart. I would give my money to friends and have them order for me. So, there is hope...I just haven't finished growing up!

So there they are...and you still love me!;)

I tag, Tiffany, Jessica, Stacy, Kristin, Jamie (on myspace), Angie! I haven't figured out the 'link' thing, so do your best.

Thanks for your post...I loved it! I too hate to sweat...yuck. A big reason that I don't like to excercise. It just seems like such an inconvenient part of excercise. Also, I hate to make phone calls. I will put it off...sometimes too long. I don't know why, I just do. I'll get all scatter-brained and tounge-tied and sound like an idiot. *sigh* I'm workin' on it, too. ;)

Love your post! I too dislike sweat...it is sticky and so dirty feeling! I am a shoeless person, however, and LOVE to be barefoot! WE love you!
