watch me get my FREAK on:
7 weird things about me:
1. after years of struggling with pretty frequent insomnia, i now have very little trouble falling asleep. i sleep very soundly now and i never wake up in the middle of the night. in fact i have slept through fire alarms (not just in my apartment, but all 5 stories of my building going off at once). i have also slept through people trying to get me to take them to the hospital, only to wake in the morning and wonder where they had gone.
i'm a sleep-talker too. people can ask me all kinds of questions and i will answer them, not remembering any of it in the morning. i've also been known to say weird things like "why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer" or just verbally abuse the person trying to wake me. again, i never remember any of it.
2. i hate raisins. hatehatehate them. i think they can ruin anything, and no, i cannot just "pick them out".
3. people never recognize me. i've changed the way i look so many times over the years that i usually have to remind people. i usually say "hey, it's me melissa, from suchandsuchaplace, i used to be bald/blonde/straight/wear glasses" etc.
4. i do not own a scale or a full length mirror, and it's been close to 10 years since i have. i have a way better body image if i'm unable to scrutinize it every other minute. i do pull a small mirror off the wall every now and again, just to make sure i'm not making a total ass of myself though.
5. i am extremely sensitive to noise. other people's loud music or unnecessarily loud talkers can bring me to tears. really. i'm also constantly adjusting the volume on the television until it's so low that you can just make out what people are saying. the funny thing is, when i'm in my car i listen to music so loud that i eventually blow a speaker or two, so i guess i'm just a freak.
6. i think red shoes go with everything. i think about fifty-percent of the shoes i own are red.
7. i am a procrastinator of the worst kind. for example, i received a summons for jury duty, i don't know, maybe months ago. never responded. 2nd notice. never responded. 3rd notice, which basically said 'wtf! are you coming or not!' never responded. jury duty is tomorrow. today i was on hold forfreakingever just so i could confirm that i'll be there tomorrow. oh yeah and my living room has been half painted for months. i'm ridiculous.
if i haven't scared you away forever, check back soon for possibly two (2!) finished objects.
