AuburnChick's Adventures

My friend Rebecca tagged me.  So now it’s my turn to share seven random or weird things about myself.  Just what you wanted, eh?  As if I wasn’t weird enough!

Ok…here goes…

1.  If I walk around in a circle for something, I have to go back in the opposite direction…kind of like to unwind.  Weird, but it’s what I do.  It’s almost like I’m preventing myself from getting dizzy.

2.  I cry when I throw up.  I hate throwing up…hate the feel of my throat afterward.  So I cry.

3.  I cannot stand sweet potatoes.  My mom made my sister and me eat them every Thanksgiving, and I barely got them down each year.  You didn’t say no to Mom.  I cook Thanksgiving dinner for our family each year, and we do not eat this dish.  I refuse to allow my mother-in-law to fix it.  I don’t want the stuff in my house, and I won’t wash the dishes it’s cooked in either (even if we’re at her house and she makes it for Christmas).  Everyone tries to get me to try their recipe, insisting that I’ll love it, but I refuse.  Me thinks that there must be a reward for the person who gets me to try it and like it.  Warning…you won’t win this award.  Don’t try.

4.  I do not like the little Windows Update shield to stay on a computer.  As a computer tech, I HAVE to run the updates on a computer if I see it.  I don’t care if I’m at your house for dinner.  I’ll update your computer if I see it.

5.  When stacking towels in my linen closet, I must have the folded edges facing outward…not the loose edges, if you know what I mean.  In my mind, it looks bad when you open the door if the folded edges aren’t facing you.  Yeah, anal…I know.

6.  I will not enter a room if I see a spider.  No way, no how.  Gives me the heebie jeebies.

7.  I will not look in a mirror in the dark.  When I was little, I had a strange friend who did all of these weird incantations and freaked me out mightily.  I never, ever forgot it.

Ok…so now I’m going to tag some of my friends.  Please visit their blogs by clicking on their names:
