5 Weird Things

I was tagged by Samantha, from The Handmade Dress, to share five weird/random things about myself. I couldn’t think of anything weird. I am sooooo normal! So I called Olinda to think of some weird things about me. So here’s a couple of things she said about me.
1) I think I am normal. She thinks that’s weird. I think that’s normal. Everyone thinks they’re normal right? And I argued with her quite passionately about how normal I am. And she replied, who has to convince people that they are normal? Hmmm… I had no reply to that.
2) Then she said sometimes I think of something out of the blue and laugh maniacally. It scares people. I’m sure other people do that, right? That’s TOTALLY normal I said to her. I mean she does it too!
3) Then she brought up that I see ghosts. Ok I had no reply to that.
4) See that’s all Olinda mentioned. And I just asked Alan. He can’t think of anything. I am SOOOO NORMAL. Ok how about some random things. I am a little obsessed about the dish sponge. This is normal and not a weird thing. It’s a random thing. I need the dish sponge to be squeezed completely dry. I am crazy anal about it. I tell Alan that it shouldn’t smell like anything, ok maybe smelling like soap is acceptable but anything else and I get so grumpy. It really drives me crazy. That’s understandable.
5) Ok what else? I’ve always wanted to color my hair blue or maybe hot pink, or some crazy color. Any tips on how one would get that done when said one does not like going to the salon and only had her hair colored once and it was at a salon? Here I’m throwing in an extra random thing about me here because it relates, I don’t like having strangers touch me. Hell before I didn’t even like hugs. DO NOT TOUCH ME. Maybe that’s why I haven’t ever had a manicure before. That would mean I would need to be touched. And you know, when I was pregnant with Isabelle I always worried that people would touch my belly. It never happened. Maybe I had the touch me and I’ll break your fingers look on my face.
Whoo hoo 5 things! DONE! And who to tag? How about I let anyone who wants to play go ahead and then link back here so I can read it. Yep sounds good to me.
And is it weird that the outfit I drew myself in sort of appeals to me? Oh and party post coming up in a few minutes since I timestamped it. Oooh two posts in one day, can you stand the excitement?

I’m convinced no one is normal. I sure as heck am not normal! I realized this in high school when one of the popular girls told me “Laurel, you’re SO weird!” It wasn’t in a bad way, it just made her laugh.
You see ghosts? That is so cool! I’ve seen one once at my parents’ house.
And about dying your hair a crazy color…I don’t like paying salon prices for things I can do myself, but crazy hair colors may constitute a salon visit.
First you have to bleach your hair and put toner on it. Bleaching really is the hard part. You want to strip as much color out of your hair as possible. It will be a little yellow or orange most likely. That’s when you put the toner on it, and that balances out the yellowish tones. Finally, you apply the bright color goop. I leave my bright goop on an hour or so. This allows the colors to sink in. But crazy color hair is a huge commitment! I would suggest a bright color hair streak. I do the underside of my bangs. I’ve done it completely myself, but have to re-dye every month or so to keep the color bright.
I just realized I rambled forever! My apologies.

How about remember how weird you are because you don’t like eyeballs. That is funky.
And how about your strange Chinese shoes that curl up at the toes. That is totally funny!
What about getting mad about strange things like mousse on the head of your Pound Puppy and then inserting the arm of Funny Face Reindeer completely in your mouth. That was bizarre and ineffective as well.
What about doing strange little weird dances particularly by moving your shoulder region up and down and side to side whilst singing while typing on your computer.
Oh the list goes on and on…….
