No wonder if feel like an outsider here. I'm not like any of you...

Keys in the right pocket... of my jeans... I love Dance Moms (a reality show)... I love driving in the city... I don't mind making left turns... bologna and cheese sammiches remind me of my childhood, but I haven't eaten one since then.... I'm not ticklish at all... (used to drive my chidren crazy!).... PB and J makes me gag (yet I make them every day for my kiddos)... I love being barefoot... I'm a soda addict... Hate Sanford and Son...

SODA? And you call yourself a Minnesotan?!? :stubborn: Do you also play, "Duck, Duck, Goose?" :P

I am addicted to all fandoms, even the ones I don't participate in.

 

All I want to do with my life is travel and learn. Perpetually.

 

I am terrified of dark enclosed spaces.

 

Sometimes, I still kind of believe that there are monsters hiding in my closet.

 

I put Tony's Chacheres on my watermelon.

 

I put lemon juice in my gumbo.

 

I am scared to drive. (I'm sixteen and have never been to drivers' ed {that's changing this weekend} and I don't have my permit)\

 

I start health kicks, but quickly fail at them.

 

I love yoga even though I have been told not to do it.

 

I love being the source of controversy every once in a while. (heh heh heh...)

 

I hate hot weather, but I have been born and raised in the South.

 

I have no idea what I am going to do with my life.

 

All I know is what I love.

 

That is perfectly fine.

I keep my keys on two different sets, one in each pocket.  In my left pocket is my car keys and in my right pocket is my house keys/work keys.  I have seven separate keys for work that are identical in appearance and can only be differentiated by the numbers on them.  If I accidentally put one set in the other pocket and both sets of keys are in the same pocket, I freak out because I think that I've lost my keys.

 

I use these plastic key covers to differentiate my keys:

That is quite a gift! Sometimes I can't even fall asleep when I'm completely exhausted...

 

So I use reverse psychology to do it.  I thought about how hard it is to fall asleep if you're seriously trying, but when you want to stay awake for something then you start drifting off.  So I use this to my advantage.  I grab a book or handheld video game and I force my eyes halfway closed and keep telling myself I need to keep going and make it to the next chapter/natural pause.  Out like a light, works every time.  Although I don't really make any progress on it, but that's okay.

I've not been able to find any that fit unfortunately :(

I dipped my odd-shaped and large keys in rubber; I think it's called Plasti-dip. And then while it's drying you can put something colored into the rubber and it sticks. Or borrow some nail polish from someone to color-code them :)

Not The Philosopher

When I was born, both of my ears were slightly folded over. They managed to get my right ear back to normal, but my left remained recalcitrant. As a result, my left ear looks a bit like an elf/vulcan ear (most of the time it is covered by my hair, though)

 

I went into university as some sort of bohemian aesthete mainly interested in books and sex. I came out of it a Catholic. I'm still kind of a pretentious, artsy guy though.

 

I am the author of three incredibly bad novellas. I personally destroyed two of them with my own hands.

 

Hummus, baby carrots and coleslaw constitute a large amount of my diet.

 

In high school I had unruly long hair and a scraggly beard, which made me look older, though not in a particularly dignified sense. Now that I'm clean shaven everyone thinks I'm 17-18 until otherwise corrected.

 

I am apparently descended from a man who ditched Sir Francis Drake during his voyage.

I can relate to the desire to be a bohemian aesthete, though I have never been hipster enough to actually attempt being one. :P

I went to college in Wisconsin. I sometimes say "bubbler," too. I like to think I'm bilingual. But, no... I would never, ever call it "Duck, Duck, Goose." There is not challenge in a game called "Duck, Duck, Goose."
