So Jen wants to know six weird things about me. Only six? Well, gee, it might be hard to narrow down the field. In no particular order:
1. I have an obsession of sorts for old furniture and objects of interest....not necessarily quality antiques, but old. I love to think about the people who sat in chairs before me, the kinds of clothes that used to fill dresser drawers, and the hands that created the legs of a table. I am currently housing in my garage: five occasional chairs, a headboard and footboard for a double bed, a dresser, a pig trough (I bought it accidentally at an estate auction and couldn't bear to part with it), four window panes, and various assorted shovels from an old farm.
2. I can find very small things when they are lost. Case in point-the button from my camera I found last week at the very big playground. I once found my stepdad's wallet in the woods behind our house, and I also found a diamond stud earring that was lost during a game of volleyball at my cousin's graduation party.
3. I am nice to telemarketers, usually. Sometimes I let them talk and talk and talk because I think it must be frustrating to constantly get hung up on. I never participate in any of their gimmicky deals, but I do wish them a nice day before I say goobye.
4. My dream house would be one of these. I love the curves, the colors, the artistic appeal...don't they look like something out of the Smurfs?
5. When I complain about my cramps during that TOM I am not joking: I have two regular sized uteruses. Uteri?
6. When we were kids my brother and I created a huge "theme park" in the woods behind our house and named it Weirdland. No joke. My mom found the sign I painted for the park's entry in the shed last summer. See? I've been weird my whole life!
Thanks for participating! Ok, that house - WEIRD! Really, though, it would be pretty calming not to have corners I think. Hmm..now you've got me thinking about all the angles in here...
