6 Weird things

(For the owner/operator of the COOLEST trivia quiz on the internet)….

Mmmkay. Since I just did a post about my OCD - I’ll skip those because oh yes, my friends, there is MORE.

1. I was diagnosed as dyslexic in grade school. As an adult that types far more than she writes, at least twice a day, I’ll type a long word entirely backwards, like, hemangiosarcoma… or metastasis..and I don’t catch it until spell check does. I don’t even realize I’m doing it.

2. I am ambidextrous. When I’m nervous, I forget what hand I normally do things with. I’ll just get extraordinarily uncomfortable, and then realize it’s because I’m writing with my left hand.

3. When I was in first grade I had a few seizures. One day I fell asleep in class. My teacher let me sleep and sent the rest of the class out to recess leaving me alone in the classroom. Apparently, I had a seizure, came out of it, and walked home. I got home and watched as my dad killed my pet rabbit. To this day, no-one in my family knows that I know.

4. I once stole a stepladder from an employer on my last day. I was mad at them and it was the only thing I could think of to do on my way out. I still have it.

5. When I’m left alone in doctor’s offices I can’t resist going through the drawers of everything in the room. Sometimes, I take completely useless things, like pens or cotton balls.

6. When I was little and people would ask what I wanted to be when I grew up I always shouted “A garbage-man!”

And that’s all I’m giving you people tonight. I hope Valentine's Day, however you chose to celebrate it, was a smash hit.
