  • A Little Bit About Me…

Can you spell C-R-A-Z-Y?

Posted on November 16, 2010 by Sandy Collier Posted in Uncategorized .

I was reading someone’s blog that I’ve been following and she was talking about a little “quirk” she has. I told her we all have them. So while I was getting ready for work I was thinking of a few little oddities about myself and thought that might make an amusing blog. So here goes…

1) When I tweeze my left eyebrow it makes me sneeze

2) I hate bright lights, most mornings I just take a shower with the closet light on. I like those muted yellow toned lights and candles around the house.

3) Now this one is going to sound crazy, but hear me out. Sometimes I wonder if spirits are trying to communicate with me. Many times I am woke out of a sound sleep hearing someone say my name in my ear. It used to scare the “crap” out of me, but not so much anymore

4) Along with number 3, I also wonder if I have telepathic abilities. So many times at work I’m thinking about something I want to say to a player (usually something they need to do/or not do) and within 5 – 10 seconds they do it without me ever having to say anything. Come on, that’s kind of weird, right?

5) I can only sleep on the right side of the bed.

6) I never leave the house without a bottle of water. But I do live in the desert so maybe that’s not so crazy.

7) When I’m at a party and I am bored with a conversation that someone is having with me I don’t really listen to them but I act like I do. I nod my head, say “oh really”, say mmmhhhh. But I’m actually not listening to a word they say. But they don’t know – so it’s not rude, right? Dale will always crack up from across the room when he sees me doing this. Sometimes he’ll come up and whisper in my ear – “you don’t even know what this guy is talking about.” Oh and I nod my head quite a bit also.

8) Sometimes when I travel I bring my pillow. “Baby needs her pillow.”

9) I hate when vegetables touch each other on my dinner plate

10) I use a razor when I need to do maintenance on that annoying hair on my upper lip. Before you say, “Oh no you didn’t,” Dr. Oz says its okay and its not true that it comes in thicker.

So, do I need to check myself into the psych ward? I just think that if you can’t laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at. What a boring life it would be if we were all the same.

Now, I encourage you to post a comment and list a few of your “quirks.” Come-on don’t be a chicken… I dare you!

    You are probably hearing spirits, and yes you are telepathic…and I didn’t know you could take a razor to the annoying hair on the face…I might try it…I use wax and always break out because of it. So I go through a week of ugly to get cute for 6 weeks…I hate it. An odd quirk of mine?…lets see…I can’t go to sleep without brushing my teeth or washing my face and removing eye makeup, no matter where I am. I have to have a moment or two or three before I get out of bed…a kind of meditative state, I can’t just bounce up and get going. I love this time and will not budge on having it. And I can’t leave the house without having every thing in place.
    Thanks for sharing your quirks…good stuff!

    Sandy, Loved reading this. I do some of the same things and sometimes I think I’m crazy. I’m told “It’s age” which infuriates me. I’m not that old! I never leave the house without a bottle of water and I live on a Peninsula, surounded by water every where. Of course most tap water tastes like swamp water WARM SWAMP WATER AND IS A TAD YELLOW). so bottled or filtered is a way of life down here. As for the telepathic thing I think you are right on. But I think that a lot of people have that. I swear my grand mother (who used to call her self a Hungarian gypsy) could read our minds as children. Scare the pants off us as kids. And she was always right. Keep blogging it makes my day. And brings back old memories I enjoy.

    Sandy, I so enjoyed reading your blog! I definately believe it is spirits. Just this past month it happened to me twice while I was at work. And, then it happened to my boss. We have both lost our Mothers. For me, it is always a woman’s whisper in my ear – saying my name. Keep writing – you are truly gifted.

    Hi Sandy ~ I love reading about other people’s quirks! It makes my own, seem “normal” 🙂

    I agree with you on #2. I prefer dimmed lighting in my house, too. Only exception is when I am putting on my make up! LOL

    #3 – I prefer the right side of the bed, too. It just doesn’t feel right if I am on the other side.

    #8 – I have to have my own pillow, too!

    Other quirks about myself include — I can not stand it if a magazine comes in the mail and someone reads it before I do! I HAVE to be the first one! — All of my clothes have to be facing the same way on their hangers. — I never leave the house without make up on!!

    It was fun reading about all your quirks…when you tweeze your left eyebrow you sneeze? LOL 🙂 That’s funny 🙂

    I have 2 that Ed makes fun of endlessly…
    1- I can NOT crawl into an unmade bed… if we are out and get home exhasted at 3am I will insist on making the bed before Ed is allowed to get in it… and for that matter… once my bed is made if someone sits on it or I feel the need to make it again LOL 🙂
    2- I end every yawn by saying bada boom LOL 🙂
