6 of my weird habits

1. I am obsessed with chewing on things. Call it an oral fixation (yes, think whatever you want) if you will, but I am always chewing on everything. First and foremost is chewing and biting my nails. I've done that for as long as I can remember and I've tried to quit. I love chewing on those plastic tags that hold the price tag on your clothes. I also love chewing on pens until the ink comes out in my mouth and that's gross. I know it's totally unsanitary, but whatever, I do it anyway.

2. I hate eggs with a passion. I don't know how to cook them either, so don't ask me to make you eggs. When I was little I always wondered how you would know if you were getting a yolk, or a little baby chicken when you cracked open an egg. I'm not sure I know that answer today. My dad even had a little chicken house for awhile when I was little and I liked them. Hopefully, the only time I use eggs (in a cake mix, brownies, etc), I won't crack it open and a little baby chicken would come out. That would be weird.

3. Also, when I was little, I thought rent-to-own places were magical. You could get a big screen tv and only pay $20 a week for it?? What a deal!! I thought my parents were strange for not going to the local rent-to-own place so we could have a big tv, a new couch, whatever...when we had a smaller tv and a couch that wasn't as cool as the ones on tv. I knew when I grew up I would definitely get everything from a rent-to-own place.

4. I am not photogenic and I always hate how I look in pictures. If I make someone take a picture of me, I make them take a bunch until it's perfect. If not, then I look at the picture and critique it and find something wrong (for example: I think my arms look fat in every picture, hence the term BFA - big fat arm/s). I don't believe I look as bad in person as I do in some of my pictures.

5. I am super-obsessed with Sex and the City and sometimes I feel like that's real life. I compare a lot of things in my life with SATC. For instance, I want to find a man just like Steve...he was so in love with Miranda for years and finally they got back together and got married. Of course, I don't want to be a single mother like Miranda was before they did get back together, but anyway. I never watched it when it was on HBO because I was a poor college kid and didn't have that channel. I didn't start watching the show until the reruns starting on TBS but now I have every dvd. I watch it every night at 10 and 11 if I'm home and if I'm up. I also want to write a book someday like Carrie. I also have the trivia game so if you are ever up for challenging me, let's do it! We can make it into a drinking game like Heidi and I did.

6. I love doing the crossword puzzle in People magazine and that's the first thing I do when I pick up the magazine from the mail on Friday or the weekend. I don't look through the magazine until I've done the crossword. I also like the crossword puzzle in TV Guide but it's usually too hard, at least People's is easier.
