More about me....

So the other day I posted a REALLY long list of random crap about me.... I actually had a lot of fun doing that and decided I wanted to do another one.  (Hope I don't repeat any of the old ones - sorry if I do...)

* I know I have some of the best friends and family out there.  They love and support me.  Unfortunately, I can't always tell them what is going on in my head either a) because I can't quite figure it out or b) I don't want to burden them.  Some people would not understand it and many might be afraid hence I bottle things up A LOT...

* When I get tired I have different stages of tired.  I have:
  (a) goofy-tired - this scares quite a few people because I get very silly. 
  (b) grouchy-tired - you really don't wanna see this one.
  (c) avoidance-tired - I look exhausted but won't go to sleep.
  I know I have more but can't think of them off the top of my head right now.....

* I have NEVER been a good sleeper.  I want to sleep but never really sleep well.  I had a doctor once tell me that I have "strange" sleep cycles because a normal person has a 90-minute sleep cycle but my cycle varies.  I can sleep 6 hours and only actually get 3 "good hours" of sleep. 

* I am constantly moving.  Even if it looks like I am still, I am probably moving my toes or something...

* I have a terribly short attention span.  If you want to write me a letter, keep the sentences short.  If you get "long-winded" I will get lost... 

* I have a reading disability.  I LOVE to read but don't always comprehend what I read.  Sometimes I will read things over and over again just to figure out what something means...

* I can't read well with background noise.  (for example: if a TV is on in the background I will either stop reading or leave the room.  The other noises distract me).

* Don't leave a tv on in front of me... My sister-in-law calls it "deer-in-headlight" stare.  I immediately stop and watch.  (this is really bad with reality tv)

* I can't stand reality tv.  I think it's crap, mindless, brainless stupidity and think people who get paid to be idiots on tv are even stupider than most.  (Yet I always stop to watch... dammit)

* I CONSTANTLY forget what words I want to use.  Sometimes it will take me forever to get my thoughts straight (sometimes because I can't think of the right word).  Occasionally I will think of a word in another language, it's kinda funny and fustrating at the same time...

*When I get mad my English vocabulary decreases... I may start yelling random words in other languages (including words that may not be real) at you or just out in general...

* I tell people I have "foot-in-mouth" syndrome because I have a habit of saying things wrong. I told a good friend of mine "if you were any older you could be old enough to be my mom" but what I meant to say was "We should just say we are sisters with a few years between us..."

* When I am mad and even music does not calm me down it usually means RUN AWAY VERY FAST... Time is the ONLY thing that will keep me from ripping a person apart.... (This happens rarely, don't worry)

* I believe I am funny in my own mind.  Unfortunately, it's never really quite as funny when it comes out... Hey, at least I can make myself giggle.  :)

* I love trivia. I play once a week (Thanks Lydia!)... I am pretty bad at it but it's fun so I don't care.  :)

* I am a closet "hermit."  I usually want to be alone but know that I can't be.  If I could work from home and never leave my house, I would seriously consider it.  (Especially if I lived with my brother and his family because I could still play with the kids everyday) My brother makes fun of me because I would "hybernate" in the basement when I lived with him.

* My cat thinks he is part dog. (Yes I tell people this all the time but it's totally true)  He LOVES to beg!  He also likes to try and tip your plate (if you are holding it) out of your hands so he can eat.  Don't try and eat cheese around him, he LOVES it and will not SHUT UP if you have it until you share and he has to have the last bit.

* Toby (the cat) also tends to roll over.  He can speak too sometimes...

* When I am home he will not let me go into the bathroom by myself.  (What cat does that?!?!?!)

*I have serious trust issues with the male gender.  (The cat does too)  It takes a lot for me to trust a guy and for some reason, whenever I really trust one, one of us always gets hurt (if not both). 

* More fun words:  (See previous post "This is me..." for explanation) http://randomnessofme2011.blogspot.com/2011/03/this-is-me.html
  - razza-fraggin (found a lot of people use this one)
  - gwumble (self-explanatory)
  - de-frazzledness (the state of coming out of fustration of confuzzlement)
  - snikey (pronounced shn-eye-key; used so not to swear since I do spend some time around kids)

* I have very strange taste in music (or so I am told by some people)... I can go from Hard Rock to R&B to Les Mis to who knows in any given amount of time.  I listen to almost all of it.

* I have never seen Pulp Fiction nor have I ever had the desire to.  (I know a lot of people will give me crap for this - sorry)

* Some of my favorite movies include The Princess Bride (also the book is awesome!), Labrynth, Boondock Saints, and Meet the Robinson.

* I can watch a Disney movie any day of the week.  I <3 Disney movies.  I also love Jim Henson movies.

*When I laugh really hard I can sound like a hyena.  Also, I laugh so hard I cry.  I call this "leaking"

* I love polar bears.  No idea how this came about, don't care, I just love them.  I think they are beautiful and wonderful animals.  :)

* I realized this thing has gotten long again so I gonna end here.... I know I missed things, please feel free to tell me your random thoughts about me.  I love to hear fun things people notice about me.  :)
