"I am transparent. I am like the window. I am see-through. I'm like Saran Wrap..."

I've met quite a few personalityless people recently. Because of it I grow more comfortable with my quirks. I can be odd at times, but I'd rather be odd and have a silly personality than be bland and personalityless.

* I recently succeeded on a major goal of mine: I can say "the usual" at the chinese restaurant near my office and the waiter will get it right. It took months and I'm excited.
* I watch movies with the Closed Captioning on.
* I think in movie quotes often. ("You phrased that incorrectly. We need to know how many toggle flips are needed, not counting the gratuitous toggle flip you may have asked for in a moment of panic.")
* I have a Chapstick addiction.
* I prefer Strawberry or Spearmint to any other Chapstick variety.
* In an attempt to combat my shyness I overcompensate and am overly loud and annoying often. I am well aware of it.
* When I'm on my home computer I usually position my left foot on top of my desk or my moniter.
* I can hold my foot to my forehead without much exertion.
* My goal is to get it behind my head.
* I'm a Happy Clicker. I click my mouse repeatedly while reading long paragraphs.
* I can't cook for one. My fridge is full of leftovers I probably won't touch until I throw them away.
* I named my VW Beetle after a Beatle because it's funny, and George is my favorite Beatle anyway.
* I didn't name him after any of the other 3 because I enjoy the subtly of the humor. And I love when people figure it out.
* It's the same reason I lengthened his name to George V Dubya.
* I can apply mascara very well while driving.
* I can't drink (without a straw) while walking without spilling.
* I can't drink from a cup without spilling.
* I can't drink without spilling.
* I can drink 11 glasses of Diet Coke before I start to shake.
* My record is 14.
* My first reaction to anything is laughter. Fright, pain, humor, whatever.
* Sometimes I get shushed by my siblings in the movie theater for giggling incessantly. (Jayar shushed me repeatedly throughout "Elf')
* I could live quite happily on bread, corn, and potatoes.
* They call me the Carb Queen. I'd probably starve if I attempted Atkins.
* It's easier for me to fall asleep with the TV on than in the silent dark.
* I can watch all 5 hours of Pride & Prejudice (A&E Colin Firth version) in one sitting but I have yet to finish Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, regardless of watching the first half a dozen times. (I keep falling asleep!)
* I dance in my car. Horribly. Only at night. Usually to "Play That Funky Music White Boy" and "Shaniqua Don't Live Here No More"
* At the company Christmas party I tattooed my tongue with the company logo from the monogrammed chocolates.
* I have yet to put my M&M's Darth Vader ornament on my tree; instead he is hanging from my visor in George. I named him "Darth Chocolate" ...we're buddies.
* In the majority of the pictures I take of myself I am making goofy faces at the camera. My favorite being the crossed eyes, forced triple chin, and thumbs up. It's a classic.
* I often laugh at myself so hard I start crying. Jayar calls me "Self Entertaining."
* I am genuinely surprised each time I am accused of being "so quiet."

Hahaha. ;)


But I think I'd rather be the silly one who does a little pelvic thrust dance in the frozen food aisle or the PeeWee Herman "Tequila Dance" in the middle of the kitchen because it makes my nieces laugh than a polite vanilla personality. Who enjoys a blah?
