quirks

Stephanie tagged me to share 6 unspectacular quirks about myself:

1) I love the History Channel. I have been known to sit and watch shows like Cities of the Underworld and Surviving History for hours. Seriously.

2) I don't do well with music that is not in tune. For example, I cannot watch American Idol before they get to Hollywood. (And even then, sometimes...) I have this weird head tilt thing that happens, as if to say, "You're almost there...I know that you can get that note to not be flat!"

3) While we're on music, I can be listening to music and singing along with it, while typing something completely unrelated. Still don't know how I do that one.

4) When eating vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup (which I LOVE), I have to mix them up completely before I eat it.

5) I don't always like constraints. For example, I don't want to come up with a 6th quirk right now, so I'm not going to. HA. Take that!

random things that few people know about me...

Ok, I've been working on this for about a week. You know, back when I didn't have anything of substance to post. Well, we all know that I've written more in the past two days than I have in the past four months! But, since I've been working on my fun little list, here it is:

Random things that few people know about me:

I love the sound of trains. If I could, I would wear jeans, a T-shirt and my Birkenstocks all the time...and my Braves cap. I love to be outside, even though I barely ever get to be. Some days I think I could live on sweet tea. At some point I want to live overseas, although the location keeps changing. I love road trips and enjoy them even more when the windows are down and the music is loud. I love to go swing dancing. In college I took rock-climbing, ballet, & golf and really would like to try all of them again. I'm messy. (Just ask my roommate!) At some point in life I want to live in Tennessee. I've only been camping once (with my youth group, in Tennessee right before we rafted down the Ocoee river!!). I've been teaching myself the guitar for 8 ½ years. I've lived in 4 states: Florida, Alabama, Georgia, & Illinois. I used to have a reading tree that I spent my time in until Hurricane Andrew blew it down. I speak a little French, a little more Spanish, and I can pronounce Italian, German, and Latin really well thanks to vocal diction classes! Oh, and I can speak Pig Latin too! I love to watch the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, and PBS. And the last one for now, thanks to Brian, I realized tonight that I can sing all of "Matthew's Begats" by Andrew Peterson! (That's quite a feat!)
