Day One: The Weird Things

Alright. There are a lot of weird things that I do, which for the record, I don't think it's weird. I think it's normal. But any ways, here are some of the things people have told me is weird.

One, I've never been into relationships. This is one of the obvious things about me. I'm not big into commitment. I don't last in relationships that long before I start feeling annoyed and claustrophobic. It usually lasts a grand total of a month or so before I end things. I'm not sure why, but I just don't. I like being able to do my own thing without worrying if it's going to piss someone else off. Don't get me wrong, I know that some relationships aren't like that. In my opinion, if you're in a relationship like that, you're lucky.

Two, I walk better in heels than I do barefoot. This one is pretty self-explanatory. My mother always told me that I just have a weird arch in my foot that makes it easier for me, but I'm terribly clumsy barefoot. I will trip and fall. Every time. Wedges are like that for me as well. I'm just unsteady. That's apparently a weird thing.

Three, I prefer whiskey over any other alcoholic beverage. I'm not hardcore, I can get drunk pretty fast, but I love the warmness and smoothness of whiskey. I'm not a big beer fan. Granted, after so many Pepsi and whiskeys, beer tastes like nothing to me so I'll drink it. But I always start with my Jack and coke. I've been told that's weird. So I suppose it counts.

Four, I have to have my stuffed tiger on my bed when I sleep. My dad got it for me when I was like five, right before he went on a business trip, and I've had it ever since. I absolutely loved this tiger. Now, I can't sleep without it. I don't cuddle it or anything, but it has to be within reach. I know, I just lost some street cred. Oh, well. But that's awkward.

Five, I usually skip breakfast and lunch. My meals are generally coffee between the hours of eight in the morning until six at night. I've never been into breakfast, unless I'm hungry or can't get coffee. I know it's unhealthy, but I don't eat until I'm hungry. And I just like coffee more than food. If I could just get an IV of coffee, I probably would.

Six, here's the ultimate weird thing. I know it's weird, and I cannot help it. Seven tells me this is fucking strange, but hey, I'll go with it. No one else can lay in my bed because it makes it impossible for me to sleep. I don't like smelling other people on my sheets. I can't have it. It's not necessarily a bad smell, but it doesn't smell like me. Now, before someone gets confused, I do not go into my room every night, and sniff my sheets to make sure no one has been on my bed. I breathe normally, and if I can smell my sister for example, I have to get up and spray Lysol or something similar on it before I even try to go to bed. This is also why I can't have anyone sleep with me. It's impossible for me to get a good night's rest. So.... there's that. One of my awkward quirks, I suppose.

That's all I have for now. It's six, so good enough for me.
