Friend and fellow blogger, The Hotfessional has tagged me to share 6 quirky things about myself that you may not know, and then pass the challenge on to others. I thought the challenge would be an easy one - my love of midgets, for example, is a quirk that I wear with pride. But I realized that you regular readers may know many of my quirks already. So I had to dig deep to find some new ones. So here goes:
- When I was in high school biology class, my teacher had to pull me aside for a serious talk after I inadvertently replaced the word "organism" with "orgasm" all through my mid-term exam. Really, it wasn't on purpose. But it did prove that I have my priorities straight, after all.
- One time in college I was so drunk that I didn't think I could navigate downstairs to pee. After a precarious 10 minutes swaying at the top of the stairs, I ended up peeing in a jar that was in my room instead. The next morning, imagine my surprise when I woke up groggy, hungover and disoriented, to find a jar of my own urine sitting next to my bed. That marked a turning point for me. I now never live in a house where my bedroom is on a different floor from the bathroom.
- When I was growing up, I used to be a regular soloist in church. My mother is still trying to figure out what went wrong.
- When I was young, my mother used to dress me like Holly Hobbie all the time - fucking bonnets and all. I think this is why I eventually rebelled against her (see No. 3) and am so into fashion today. You just don't get over something like that <shudder>.
- I have an irrational fear of Jello. I don't care what Bill Cosby says - that wiggling sticky crap is just WRONG. It grosses me out.
- My right boob is bigger than my left boob. But both, let's face it, are fabulous.
So those are my quirks. And now ... for my tags:
HeyJoe, Marie, Superbongo, Witchypoo, Dawn, Sarcasticmom.
The rules are:
- Link to the person that tagged you.
- Post the rules on your blog.
- Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
- Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
- Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
My work here is done, people.
Oh my goodness, I cannot believe there is another person in the universe who is afraid of jello. People have been making fun of me for years!! You're right...it is just so....wrong!

Please, please, oh please let me see a picture of you singing at church!
Do you have an aversion to pudding too?

Your fear is justified. Jello is made from cow hooves!

YES @ midgets!
And are you uncharacteristically intrigued and repulsed by mullets, also!?
