27 Nov 2007 7 Random/Weird Things About Me
 |  Category: personal  |  Tags: ,  | One Comment

This particular meme has been going about, and I guess it’s my turn now.

1. I only shampoo my hair twice a week. This may seem icky to some people, but my skin and scalp are very dry and shampooing anymore often than that leads to flat hair, breakage, and an itchy, flaky scalp, so I rinse my hair every time I wash myself, but I only shampoo twice a week.

2. I occasionally shed the nail on my pinky toes. It doesn’t hurt when it happens, but sometimes they just fall off. Weird and kinda gross.

3. My eyes are blue, but they have brown flecks around the center, technically making them hazel, but a blue/brown hazel. I got that part from Dad. The blue part picks up the colors I’m wearing, like Mom’s grey eyes do, so sometimes my eyes end up looking purple with yellow flecks.

4. I hate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but I love peanut butter toast or eating peanut butter right from the spoon. It makes no sense.

5. My ears used to be quadruple pierced, with one piercing at the top of the ear, but I let that one close because I decided it looked silly on a person of my age.

6. When I’m watching TV, my imagination fills in all the missing details. Specifically I imagine the smells that go with the scenes. My imagination’s so vivid, I can actually gag myself with imaginary smells. I think that’s why I can’t eat meat and watch CSI.

7. I secretly lust Chris Garver from Miami Ink. I can’t explain why. Maybe it’s because he’s the most mature acting one on the show. Maybe it’s because he knows that some people have to buy cool, but others (like him) simply are cool. Either way, I watch the show for him.
