I'm supposed to share 10 weird things about me.
Hmmm...Here goes...Hope they're weird enough for you! :)
1. My favorite way to pass the time as a kid on my 45 minute bus ride was to calculate the powers of 2 as high as I could go. I have them memorized to a large number as a result. 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024...
2. I'm left handed, but use scissors with my right hand. I got tired of the left handed scissors in elementary school, decided to learn how to use the right handed comfy ones and now I can't cut with my left hand.
3. My whole room at one point was various shades of purple, and it was the best room ever. I hope to have a purple house at some point.
4. My neighbors will probably hate me someday b/c in addition to wanting a purple house, I hate grass lawns. I HATE them. When I have a home that I can, I'm getting rid of the lawn and putting in xeriscaping/gardens/weeds, anything besides grass. My husband wants a small patch, so maybe we'll compromise, but I really hate grass. And the thought of it ticking off stuffy neighbors just makes me giggle.
5. I am irrationally afraid of muddy water and all the invisible creatures in it. I will not go in it, and if the water (re: the beach) becomes too cloudy, I freak out and scream a lot like a girl. I do not enjoy swimming in lakes, rivers, or anything that isn't clear.
6. I taught myself how to hold a pencil (being left handed with right handed parents) and I hold it in such a way that I have a large callus on the front of my ring finger when I write a lot.
7. I want to move to the country and grow all my own food and at the same time, I love the convenience of the city and my computer, and being near people. I don't know if that's wierd, but I needed more for the list.
8. I'm pretty sure I could live off of dark chocolate and orange juice.
9. I was a cheerleader for one football season in middle school. Then I found out I'm not that peppy.
10. After trying to leave Utah as fast as I could for 8 years and not succeeding, I finally succeeded and now I miss it sorta. (Though I love Texas so far.)

Love the fear of dirty water - I think we share the same phobia. Good thing you dont live here with the questionable New England beach water - esp just across the coast of NY. You know you're in for surprises then! :)
Working on it... I'm really quite normal and am having difficulty coming up with 10... JK, narrowing it down!
I'm totally not ignoring the tag :). I even have my list half-written...And I enjoyed reading yours!
