5 Weird Things

I got tagged by my friend Tammy a while ago to do a list of 5 weird things about me. I've actually kind of been avoiding it, because once I started to think about what would be "weird" about me, I realized my list is much longer than 5. By admitting some of these things, I believe I am also admitting to a slight case of OCD, but oh well, we're among friends, right? Well, here goes:

1. I kind of enjoyed childbirth. Don't get me wrong, the pain was terrible and if I hadn't had epidurals, I might be singing a different tune. But through all that, I was so excited both times to see my baby and find out if I was having a boy or a girl, I really didn't mind the process.

2. I have a real texture problem with food. I can't stomach anything slimy. Tomatoes make me gag because of the slimy seed stuff in the middle. Kiwi & cucumbers do the same. I only like baby pickles because the big pickles are too mushy in the middle.

3. I count letters in words and see what the word is divisible by. Example word: "Group" I do this in my head: gr, ou, pg, ro, up. Then I do this: gro, upg, rou, pgr, oup. I have to keep doing it until I get the letters to come out even. 6 letter words are my favorite because they divide nicely. See what I mean about OCD?

4. I do something similar with numbers. When I see a number, I use each of the numbers to see how high I can count by using them. Example number: 125 Here's what goes on in my head: 1, 2, 5-2=3, 5-1=4, 5, 5+1=6, 5+2=7, 1+2+5=8, (5x2=10)10-1=9, 2x5=10, (2x5=10)10+1=11

5. I hate messy condiment bottles. You know when you open the cover to the ketchup and there is that dried ketchup "skin"on top. I hate that. Ketchup, mustard, dressing, any of those things need to be free and clear of goop.

So there you go, those are about as weird as they get. I am now tagging Allison to share her weirdness with the world.

I've known you a long time, and i think you are holding back some stuff. Those weren't as crazy weird as I know you to be!

I can totally relate to one and two, but three and four?? Very Rain Manish. I can't decide if I think that's really, really smart or just plain weird.
