7 Weird Things About Me
Category: Unicorn Queen
1. I have green hair.
That’s right, green! Evidence. I dye it a deeper red but after a few weeks get green roots. Most people consider it strawberry blonde but it’s really just green with red highlight! I’ve only met 2 others with the same type of hair and we all tell the same story: blonde when little, green at puberty. Apparently there is also a book that describes a girl with hair like that – does that mean there’s more of us?! Come out, green-haired sisters! :)
2. I made a lipstick after my grandma.
In her youth, my grandmother wore a bright carrot lipstick, her signature color. It looked stunning against her white skin, dark eyebrows and green eyes. Because I wasn’t allowed to have it, my desire to possess it was torturous. :) I created My Beautiful Rocket to emulate that shade – a pure luminous orange with no red or coral undertones. Now it’s mine!
3. My favorite horror film is A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Not necessarily weird, just a fun fact. My mother took me to see it when I was merely 10 years old – needless to say, I spent most of my young life terrified of the man in the dirty hat!!! Haha. I re-discovered the franchise later on, and fell in love with the idea of dream becoming reality. I hear there’s a remake on the way???

World’s most stylish boogie man, Freddy Krueger!
4. I have every single color in my wardrobe except orange.
No offense grams, I just don’t like things competing with my hair. ;) There is no prevalent color, it’s all a very balanced mix of pinks, blues, greens, reds and purples.
5. My right foot is 1/2″ (half a size) larger than my left.
Most people’s limbs are uneven but this is ridiculous! I never know which shoes to buy, 7 or 7.5. Sometimes I’ll wear a foot pad in one shoe, other times a thicker sock is in order, haha.
6. I’ve never met my biological father.
My mother divorced and re-married when I was very young, and I was raised by my step dad. I never knew he wasn’t my real father because he treated me like his own. I discovered my true origins by accident, while looking through old medical records and spying a different last name. When confronted, my mom at first said it was a clerical mistake, but later came clean (I was almost 16 at the time). Unfortunately, my real father died young so I never got to meet him. I did acquire a new granfather as a result though, a retired captain who lives in Ukraine. This explains my odd interest in the sea.

7. I have an unhealthy obsession with mermaids.
Kids don’t censor themselves, so it’s usually the best time to learn about one’s true nature. I remember my kindergarten teacher asking us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Most named “veterinarian”, “astronaut”, and “ballerina” as an occupation of choice, and my answer was “mermaid”. Come to think of it, 90% of my early drawings featured a mermaid, usually perched on a rock, with a hair comb in one hand. I later found out that children who display such interest in these sea creatures often have a conflicted gender identity. To me, a mermaid is a feminine identity that is independent from its sexual organ. Plus, they are beautiful and I fit right in with my green hair! :)
Your turn, Deerlings: what are the 7 weird things about you?

I’m not sure if this is the book you’re talking about, but Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits opens with the story of Rosa the Beautiful: the town belle with green locks.

This will be fun!
1. I guess I’ll start with the most obvious: I am short as hell, lol. I stand a proud 5′1″.
2. I don’t think this is weird as much as it is unique, but I am Wiccan; that’s why I appreciate most of your eyeshadows being vegan. :) I do not associate myself with a coven as I dabble mainly in herbal magick and lore.
3. I’ve always been obsessed with Japanese culture/fashion. Before I get called a weeaboo, I need to point out that I actually respect it…and I actually look good in their clothing. :P
4. I’ve never met either of my biological parents. I was adopted from birth, along with my blood sister.
5. I HATE pants.
6. When I was little I thought I was supposed to be a boy. Now I realize that tomboyishness is normal, lol.
7. I have no idea what my ethnic heritage is, since I’m completely disconnected from my biological family. I apparently look like everything from Hawaiian to Roma to Korean and Meztizo.
None of these were all that weird, sorry…

I go to college where the Elm Street is from “Nightmare on Elm Street”!!!
I don’t really know what seven strange things to say about myself- most of my eccentricities are obvious in person more than are from my past. BUT, when I was younger, I was convinced that I looked like a boy. I stopped wearing pants and wore skirts, dresses, heels, and corsets every day! I kind of look absolutely nothing like a boy so it’s a bit strange that I thought I did!

Love your green hair!
So, here go my 7 weird things:
1. I have golden brown eyes, but when I cry they look yellow (And my hair does the same, but with sunlight).
2. I dont wear pants. Ever.
3. When I was 5 I had to sing a christmas song about rudolph with all my kindergarten classmates. I sung so loud that everyone felt embarassed and stopped singing. I didn’t notice and kept singing the whole thing completely alone. (And things like this tend to happen a lot to me.)
4. I have the worst sense of direction EVER. I’m 18 and still get lost when I go to the supermarket.
5. I have an umbrella hanging from my bed headboard, and I use it to poke my curtains every night before going to bed (In case someone’s hiding there).
6. I ADORE Jim Henson. He died the 16th of may 1990 at 1:20 am. I was born the 16th of may 1991 at 3:00 am.
7. I have really delicate skin. Actually, the first ‘big’ word I learned was ‘hypoallergenic’ :)

I LOVE Jim Henson! That’s so weird that he died in 1990 because when i found out he died I wondered what year, i was even wondering the other day. I kept having this strong feeling it was the year I was born (jan 1990) AND IT IS! I keep being slightly psychic lately,about really simple stupid stuff. I was going to make it one of my weird things but thought i’d sound crazy, I now realize that’s long since out the window.

1. I have green hair, too! My friends thought I was insane when I told them I dye my hair all the time because my hair is actually green.
2. I am eighteen and wear a size 4 shoe – in kids! I have to shop at kids stores for all my shoes, and this means I can NEVER find heels that fit me. :[
3. This one is amusing. I definitely knew I wanted to be a mermaid when I was little, but also a vet. So I seriously thought that one day I could become a mermaid who was the veteranarian to all sick sea creatures. Nice thought, I suppose.
4. Everytime I walk into the bathroom, I STILL cautiously throw open the curtains on my shower if they are closed to check for monsters.
5. Speaking of monsters..I am scared of nearly everything. :] My strangest fears are moths and condiments; yes, this means ketchup and mustard make me want to cry.
6. My favorite movie is A Goofy Movie, followed closely by Dawn of the Dead and American Beauty. Strange mix!
7. I can’t go out without wearing a few black hairbands on my wrist, but I refuse to wear my hair up. Just a strange habit I can’t really explain.

the exact same thing happened to me when I was in first year in primary school. I said I wanted to be a mermaid when I grew up! I’ll never forget it, all the other children laughed at me and the teacher made me feel so bad I was reduced to a few tears. but it’s alright, I still love mermaids!

December 4th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Hey Doe, fun post :) Me and my mom also both LOVE mermaids, my mom probably moreso than anyone I’ve ever met! In fact, she has had her own small wine label (she is a professional winemaker, rather ‘famous’ in the wine world, haha) called La Sirena for about 13 years now, with a gorgeous metallic blue mermaid on the label.
Do you or Mark like wine at all?? I would love to send you a bottle of her fabulous Moscato Azul – it comes in a bright blue bottle (with a matching bright blue cork) and it tastes soooo wonderful. Even if you don’t normally like wine, this one is so easy to enjoy, and you could always use the bottle as flower vase later :)

5.) I can dislocate my hip at will
6.) I always cry if I am laughing unless I am fake laughing

7 Weird Things About Me…
1. I’ve been in love with the 70s rockstar image since I was very young (and didn’t even know it). My very first encounter was in the movie Let It Ride which is a favorite of my parents. So naturally I saw it quite a few times and I had a crush on the character ‘Looney’ who just so happened to be played by David Johansen (of the new york dolls) haha. It wasn’t until a few years ago when I got into the dolls that I rediscovered my young age crush all over again.
2. My eye color changes quite often. I’ve never seen it but people always disagree about my eye color. But apparantly, they don’t change in unison either. I’ve had a nurse ask me if I was wearing contacts because my eyes are two different colors. I love that about me.
3. My favorite type of romances are those that end in tragedy. For some reason I find tragic love to be more true than just your average ‘cheesy’ romance. My favorites are Sid and Nancy, Kurt and Courtney and Romeo and Juliet. This is definitely unhealthy but an avid obsession of mine.
4. I’m very much fascinated with the psychoanalysis of serial killers. Much more than any average person should be. I’ve become a walking encyclopedia upon many U.S. serial killers (and some from other countries as well) and have even taken a high level college course upon the subject which has now become my favorite class I’ve ever taken (I wish I could take it all over again). I end up ruining a conversation if something someone says parallels a specific killer because it automatically triggers something in my brain to spew out some little piece of morbid information that usually ends in awkward silence. This is a far cry from the little girl who thought serial killers came out of cereal boxes haha.
5. I have issues talking over the phone. For some reason, since I was little, I get anxiety if I know I have to call someone. It used to take me at least an hour to prep myself up to call someone whether it be a friend or someone I don’t know. I’ve gotten better about it nowadays but I still have to psych myself up a bit to call someone.
6. I’ve gone through almost a whole year without breathing correctly. It was about 2-3 years ago and I had such a hard time because I couldn’t take a deep breath. It got so bad that I couldn’t even yawn. Everytime my body would try, I just couldn’t catch any air. So I pretty much had to live with taking small breaths day in and day out. Turns out in the end, my bad breathing was a result of a misdiagnosis from my doctor. They thought I might have asthma because I (supposedly) had it when I was younger. So they gave me an inhaler. Eventually I found it out it was really anxiety restricting my breathing. You have no idea (unless you’ve been through it) how wonderful it felt to be able to yawn again haha.
7. I’ve never been in Love. And in the words of Edie Sedgwick “…but I have a certain amount of faith that it will come.”

December 4th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
1. I have a 3.25 size ring finger. I have a hard time finding rings that fit me, needless to say, and usually I just wear them on my thumb.
2. I used to eat silkworm pupae when I was a kid! (I lived in China until I was 5.)
3. One of my clearest memories is of this drawing of a mermaid I did when I was little that I was really proud of, and I left it on the floor, and when I was in bed that night my mom came in and asked me if she could throw something away, and I just kind of made a mumble, I wasn’t paying attention, and in the morning I found out it was the mermaid drawing! I was sooo mad! And sad. :[
4. I can move my little toes an usually far distance from my other toes.
5. I think barn owls are very scary-looking, and that the Mothman was probably a barn owl because when you see illustrations of him in silhouette, it looks pretty much just like a barn owl in the dark.
6. I am afraid of inner-ear (as in coming from inside your ear) noises.
7. I’m obsessed with serial killers, Victoriana, black-and-white vertical stripes, and Louise Brooks.

Green! Well barely, at least in the picture. I always thought we had the same roots but mine lack the greenish tint lol still almost identical. Must you always have more fascinating versions of so many of my qualities! I had noticed you and your sister took only after your mom in the family photo you showed.
Hey guess what I wanted to be in the 1st grade? A marine Biologist lol I guess I was destined to “study” you. I loved mermaids too but i don’t think it had anything to do with gender identity issues since 1. I LOVED super feminine fairies almost or AS much 2. I loved swimming and the idea of breathing underwater and living in the ocean was like heaven and 3. The little mermaid was the only disney redhead I identified with her to an insane degree I had her blue eyes long red locks, pale skin and love of singing and I also enjoyed hiding in dark places playing with my collections of junk and my best friend wasn’t the same species. But frankly it’s possible i might.
7 weird things (as if I haven’t said enough)
1. I can communicate and befriend almost any animal and I get really really upset when i meet one I can’t but someone else can.
2. I was partially raised by a cat (this explains #1) My cat was 2&1/2 when I was born and died a year ago when I was almost 19. She was my big sister and watched out for my brother and I and was my best friend.
3. I have 9 calendars up in the room I sleep in.(2 are moms) I love how they’re like posters that are always changing, I call them white trash digital photo frames =P
4. I’m allergic to my bedroom walls, and so is my aunt, so i can’t sleep in there.
5. I yell profanities at martha stewart rather than turn off the t.v. or find a DVD.
this is hard….
6. For several years I thought Alan Rickman was hot, no not just in old movies but as Snape too. yeeaaah….
7. I have been wearing lipstick to bed for a little over 2 months now.

I am terrified of butterflies as well. I used to hate animals as a kid (though I’m pretty alright now) and we went to a butterfly museum in 2nd grade. I went in and started screaming and crying and had to be let out. I think it has something to do with an episode of Spongebob that showed a closeup of a butterfly. *shudders horribly*

1. I to wanted to be a mermaid as a child. Heck, I still do. I even taught myself how to swim incredibly well with my legs tied together so I could swim like a mermaid. I still swim best that way. I also always wanted to be a vampire, but not the sparkly can have sex kind. I wanted to be the Dracula kind that was empty and only wanted blood. That’s my favorite book. Besides Alice in Wonderland.
2. I am afraid of the dark inside of houses. But, I’m fine outside. I think it’s because in houses when you’re in the dark it is truly pitch black. At least outside you’ll always have the moon and stars.
3. Ever since I was a child I have always been in tune with nature. I used to (and still do) call the moon my mother. I used to sleep in trees by the river next to our house the whole summer. I saw faeries and talked with them. I knew instinctively what plants could hurt and heal and used them often when I was out on my own. It wasn’t until I was around 13 that I realized I was a pagan. I call myself an Earth Witch because I feel it defines me and what I believe.
4. I was almost born into a toilet! True story! My mother at the hospital went to use the bathroom and when she started making hard moan noises my aunt made her get back to the bed. a few minutes later I was born! :)
5. When I was 7 I tried to fly by jumping off our porch roof. I had just finished watching Peter Pan (The Mary Martin). So, I thought I would be able to fly. Silly me, I forgot my pixie dust! (I was unharmed by the by. The porch was only 6 ft. tall. Lucky me I just got the wind knocked out of me!)
6. I love to cook but whenever I cook it always looks horrible. But it tastes amazing. I’m glad I have friends who will look past it’s outside to taste it’s inside.
7. My biggest dream is to sing in a nightclub. A big ban and sitting on a grand piano. I know I have the voice but I’m always so scared that I don’t have looks. That and there’s nowhere around here looking for a singer which makes me sad.

1. I used to tell everyone that I wanted to be a Princess when I grew up, so don’t feel too weird! I still want to be one, too :)
2. I am terrified of throwing up! So terrified that I don’t even drink alcohol for fear of drinking too much and hangovers.
3. I have never smoked a cigarette, drank alcohol, or done drugs. I am 23 years old and feel like a little old lady, but I love it!
4. I am obsessed with cupcakes. I have an entire cupcake themed room in my condo, and I even have a cupcake tattoo on my hip!
5. I don’t have a gallbladder. I had to have it removed when I was 15 due to gallstones, which is extremely unusual on someone young and thin.
6. I am a Harry Potter freak. I know hordes of useless trivia, have read all of the books 8 times or more apiece, and paid $600 to see Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) perform Equus on Broadway! (in the nude, mind you!)
7. I have a pet Fennec Fox. She is the perfect mix between dog and cat, but can be quite the pain! She’s so cute that she’s worth it though :)

I don’t think I’m quite terrified of throwing up, but I really, really dislike it. Somehow, I haven’t thrown up in about 8 years or so. But whenever I start feeling nauseated I get really anxious at the idea of actually throwing up.

1. I’m kind of a hypochondriac!
I say kind of because I’m able to talk myself out of my self-diagnosis’s, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking that I’m having a heart attack when it’s really only heart burn, or stomach cancer when it’s just cramps.
2. I’m terrified of chalk. I will not touch it without wearing gloves (drawing on the sidewalk with my baby cousin is hilarious because she wears gloves too since I do it!). When people write on boards with chalk I want to cry. The sound makes my teeth hurt!
3. I’m incredibly empathetic, to the point where when other people are just having a bad day I feel like I’m going to cry. And watching Extreme Home Makeovers, I usually sit there bawling the entire hour it’s on!!
4. My determination doesn’t usually come from support, but from people telling me that I can’t do things. Like of course I need support from the people closest to me like my family and my man, but I’m lucky enough that my mom has a friend who doesn’t believe I can do anything I say I will (she didn’t even think I would get into college!), and everything I accomplish is to spite her and the other people who don’t believe in me.
5. I’m very easily distracted. When I’m with groups of friends in the city I usually get lost because I see something brightly colored or something shiny and just wander off. Thank god for cellphones ;]
6. When I was younger they started putting up Neighborhood Watch signs by my house (the ones that tell you to watch out for thieves and murders). I was never afraid of their being monsters under my bed, but I was always convinced that there was a serial killer in my closet. I still check my closet every night before I go to sleep.
7. I’m a pedo-magnet. I look a lot younger than I am, and I have a really naive and child-like air about me. Therefore, I am often followed home by men when I’m walking, and I’ve been offered money for relations more times than I can count. It is by far the creepiest thing in the world, and for my birthday after I had almost gotten kidnapped, my friends had bought me a can of mace, a knife and a rape whistle. Happy birthday!

Not sure that I can come up with 7 but I`ll try my best:
1. I have conversations with my dog, not just talking to him, but expecting him to respond to
2. I love small spaces and the dark
3. I have a fear of dead fish, I avoid the fish section of the grocery store just to avoid seeing them
4. I`m a color addict, I`ve been known to buy lottery tickets, tear apart magazines, or mutilate books simply because they had a color that I liked in it and I had to have it
5. I keep a notebook that is filled with nothing but swatchs of color
6. I`ve never broken a bone or had to get stitchs
7. I`m the eldest girl of the eldest girl of the eldest girl in my family, and it may go back farther than that, I have to ask my grandma

December 4th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
1. Spiders, I’m only scared of the small ones. They just scurry so fast and you see them coming out of the corner of your eye and it’s so creepy. But the bigger ones seem much more tentative and walk slower. It’s almost like the small ones are hyperactive youngsters and the bigger ones are older grandparent types.
2. As a child I thought the world was a giant egg because of the way the sky was shaped.
3. As a kid I definitely believed I should be able to fly, my best friend and I spent hours jumping off my dads arm chair trying to fly. I also took a leap of faith off the deck porch with a broom placed firmly between my legs. It did not work out.
4. Much like you my favorite horror movie is Scream which I saw way to young. And it still scares the crap out of me!
5. I knit a lot. And I knit everywhere basically. On the bus, train, car, waiting for people, while watching t.v. And I look nothing like someone who would probably knit lol. I’m a bit of a grandma.
6. My ear lobes are oddly thick. No one noticed until I got them pierced and people always pointed it out, so I was very self conscious about them.
7. Parts in Disney movies still scare me. Like in beauty and the beast when belle’s father turns around and see’s beast for the first time. Or in the great mouse detective when the bat pops out of the baby stroller!

1. I have a phobia of touching flower petals. I can get by roses and a couple others… but most flowers I cannot touch, lilies are the worst. They feel sorta slimy, and I always think they’ll move by their will.
2. I’m a 22 year old girl seriously into martial arts. Like, the only peaceful, calm time when I am 100% focused is during hardcore sparring.
3. I can almost instantly start crying. I have a naturally slight nasally voice, which makes it very convincing. Thankfully, I have never used this skill to manipulate people.
4. I’m addicted to pixy stixs.
5. I can look at the camera in a way, you’d think I’m starring right at you if you looked at the photo/clip.
6. I feel uneasy when my house is neatly organized. I also can’t find things when they are organized.
7. I have never had a nightmare. When the dream starts getting a little bit scary… I wake myself up subconsciouly. I have also never had a real nose bleed.
[Reply]
December 4th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Hmmm, 7 weird things..
1. This will sound crazy but I can “feel” if certain things are going to happen or not. Like say I’m wanting permission to go somewhere, and I have to ask my parents, usually I can “feel” what the answers going to be. And 90% of the time, my feelings are right.
2. When I was younger, I was such a little oddball. I still am, but I would talk to fairies, and believe they were pretty much everywhere. I actually had a “snot fairy” in this small little bottle thing with a cork. If the cork was out for more than 5 seconds he’d escape. And if you stuck your finger inside then licked your finger, you’d have a cold that lasted a month. That actually happened to me too.
3. I can crack my toes 24/7. They never stop cracking. & also my left knee crunches all the time.
4. My nose bleeds at least once everyday.
5. This may not seem weird, but I’m 100% confident with myself. It’s really rare to find somebody who is truly confident in there self and not just saying it. I think so highly of myself. I’m not cocky or anything, I’m just so sure of myself with everything.
6. I have 50+ bracelets on my left wrist. I don’t take them off, ever.
And I’m always wearing rings.
7. I actually can’t think of a 7th thing right now, I lost my train of thought watching tv.
But that’s about it?

1. I’m a hypochondriac. I will freak out even if I think I’m in pain.
2. All my binders for school need to have some sort of picture in the front. If any of them are blank, I will tear apart a magazine and make a collage. :)
3. I have an odd obsession with celebrities. I love to talk about them, the ones I love, the ones I can’t stand, and the ones that I don’t have a problem with. Actually, some kids at my school call me ‘Gaga’ because I was Lady Gaga for Halloween
4. I also have a fascination with burlesque dancers and burlesque in general. My mom isn’t too happy about that one.
5. I’m in musical theater, but I don’t have a good voice.
6. I tell people the reason I dyed my hair black/blue is because I was bored. The real reason is because adam lambert has black/blue hair.
7. I want a tattoo but I’m afraid of needles.

7 weird things about me:

2. I’m not religious at all and I don’t celebrate any Holidays, that includes Christmas. However, I celebrate my birthday every year n_n.
3. I can’t use a browser that isn’t Mozilla Firefox. I have it all customized and with certain add-ons I can’t live without. I hate those websites that only work with Explorer ¬¬.
4. I’m obsessed with time. I can’t be late, I can’t be early. I program all my activities to a certain time and I’m also a neat freak.
5. My hair is soo curly that people ask me if I got a perm.
6. I often forget what I was talking about during a conversation.

[Reply]
December 4th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
Your green hair instantly reminded me of this 1940’s movie…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_with_Green_Hair
1. I can wiggle my bottom lip and move one side at a time. No, not like puckering your lips for a kiss. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s different. When I was little I thought everyone could, but then my friends set me straight.
2. My father was 25 years older than my mother. Now he’s passed away, but when he was alive people would always assume he was my grandfather. I have a feeling this has to do with my affinity for older men.
3. When I’m around people with accents I unintentionally start mimicking them very slightly. No idea why.
4. My natural hair color is brown/blonde/red. All three. Sometimes it would seem like highlights, others it would just look like one day I was a brunette the next day I was a blonde or a redhead. Now I dye it red, the best of all. People always ask why, of all colors, someone would CHOOSE to be a redhead. So rude.
5. I work with the elderly. No, not weird, but most people wouldn’t guess it when they meet me.
6. I’m a SLOB. Another thing nobody would guess, because I’m always put together physically. My room is piles and piles of clothes and books. Sigh.
7. I’m so pale that no drugstore foundation is pale enough for me. It either looks slightly YELLOW or just a LITTLE off. I usually settle for a little “off” because prescriptive foundation is expensive, but I’m thinking I should just invest in it.

1. I can pop part of my rib in and out and it makes an audible “pop!”, it doesn’t feel like anything (except if it gets stuck and its just like a finger pushing on me a bit) and doctor’s can’t figure it out, its not a floating rib.
2. I can handle seeing bloodiest of bloody things in real life (growing up, my father and his family hunted a lot) but I CAN’T watch horror movie blood, most pictures, or even cartoon blood, even the tiniest bit.
3. I’m half korean and have “asian-flush”, which pretty much means I’m lacking an enzyme that breaks down alcohol, so when I drink a little bit my whole body turns red and even though I won’t feel the slightest bit drunk, I’ll look absolutely trashed.
4-6. I like/have done a lot of weird, contrasting things! I’m an amatuer photographer, a girly girl, a horse-farmer, I was the only female on the “men’s” varsity wrestling team in high school and lover of lifting weights, the marching/concert band geek but also the jazz band rockin’ bass guitarist!
I smushed that one together into a few numbers cuz it inclues unique fact!
7. I have a weimeraner, he’s my first and I’m obsessed with the breed. He’s a troublemaker (he stole and ate TWO pumpkin pies!) but I miss him sooo bad whenever I’m not home with him. I could sit and watch weimeraner pictures all day long!

7 Weird Things About Me:
1. When I’m really tired, sad, excited or mad, I tend to refer to myself in the 3rd person. It’s not uncommon among Autistics like myself.
2. Yes, I really do have Autism, Asthma, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, Lower Back Scoliosis and Migraine headaches. No, I don’t know how I live with it all.
3. Ironically, my parents were the youngest parents with kids mine and my brother’s ages at two military bases. My parents were 24 and 28 when I was born. They weren’t that young!
4. I go the mental ages of 4 and 40.
5. People consistently underage me by four years. There’s only been one time that someone overaged me by 6 years (and I about slapped him).
6. I’m the shortest of my family…and I come from a family of tall people. My grandma is 5′8″, my tallest aunt is 5′11″, my dad is 6′3″, and my mom (the shortest on her side) is 5′5″. I’m 5′2.5!”
7. I’m fine with cats…as long as they’re in someone else’s home. I would never adopt a kitty in my life, despite how cute I think they are. I need a pet that likes walks, cuddles, kisses (and gives them back), is a little stubborn, makes me feel safe, greets me at the door, full of personality, loves to sleep on my bed, destroys squeaker toys, can detect my (now rare) seizures and is generally hell/heaven combined. In other words, I need a dog. A terrier or a Greyhound, in particular. I can’t live without one. I was 3.5 when I got my first one and never been without them for longer than a year-and-a-half.

Actually, I think ferrets shouldn’t be kept as pets. Having seen them in their real habitat, I think they belong there rather as pets. Besides, if I got one, I’d have to find a place where this creature wouldn’t hunt and kill said ferret: http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v97/63/70/1144560621/n1144560621_30071499_7444.jpg
Zena is a bonafide hunter. Her breed is specifically bred to hunt everything from field mice to badgers and weasels alone & pumas and jaguars in small packs. Zena acts about 2 in human years. Naps 80% of her day, destroys the other 20%.
I’ve had guinea pigs and hamsters, but no animal I’ve had ever fully filled the jobs of a dog as well as an actual dog.

December 4th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
I hate grape. Grape flavoring is the worst. I don’t even eat anything made with purple coloring.
I make up a lot of stories in my head. I never write them down either. Sometimes I get so into the story that I will start talking out loud to myself.
I get lost.. A lot. I hate to drive anywhere by myself because I get lost really easily. Sometimes I even take a wrong turn going to work, where I’ve worked for 3 years.
I tidy obsessively. I am constantly cleaning things up around the house. I can’t even go to sleep without tidying up my room in some way.
I dye my hair a lot. I guess it isn’t that weird, but I do dye it a LOT. It has been several shades of blue, pink, red, orange, black, blue, blond, auburn, green and combinations of those.
I trained my voice. I grew up in the southern part of the United States. Subsequently, my voice always had a really obvious southern drawl. For as long as I can remember I was extremely self conscious about it, so I worked hard to train my voice by mimicking actresses.
My arms bend unusually far backward.

Good to see that I’m in good company here! :)
7 things that are weird about me..
1. Freddy Krueger and I share the same last name. Yep, my last name really is Krueger. While I’m proud of my German heritage, I wasn’t too fond of the Freddy Krueger jokes growing up. Most were really cheesy.
2. I constantly have to have background noise of some kind. I hate silence.
3. Because I have to have background noise, I tend to talk to myself. Also, cause it’s the only thing I can think things out in my mind.
4. I can’t point my toes straight. They can only curl.
5. My hands are the size of a small child, even though I’m 20. I have the tiniest hands I’ve ever seen on anybody and others have said the same.
6. I still sleep with a blanket I’ve had since I was five. It’s not more than a big piece of fabric, but my grandma hemmed the edges and she made it a blanket. Extra GLEE that it has Rainbow Bright on it.
7. I’m not sure if this is weird, but at 18, I found true love. It’s young, but I already knew who I was as a person and what I wanted in my lifelong partner. I felt something was different with my boyfriend and something deep in my soul and heart that said that he’s the one I was meant to be with. We’re still together after almost 2 years and I couldn’t be any happier. :)

3. I have ADHD which most people say is very noticeable.
4. I am quite tall, almost six feet!
5. I am obsessed with celtic culture, especially their music and celtic tribal art.
6. I did 8 years of Irish dancing.

Haha, I’ve been obsessed with mermaids since I was little! My Nana had this storybook, and at the end of one of the stories, the protagonist jumps into a river to escape an angry mob, and his whole body washes away, leaving a tiny, guppie-sized version of him with gills like a lacy collar, called a waterbaby. I’ve always secretly hoped that I’d drown when I die, so that I can become a waterbaby too. That was my Nana’s nickname for me.
Hmm, I think there could be something to this conficted gender identity thing. I wonder if I’m the only cross-dressing waterbaby around here? XD

1. Fears:
I am emitophobic. I’m afraid of looking into dark empty cars at night. I love to go swimming in the ocean but going under and looking out into the blue scares the living bejeezuz out of me. I can’t sleep without a fan on. I’m deathly afraid of silence
because I think that when it’s silent a loud BOOM is gonna come
out of nowhere and terrify me.
I have to have a blanket on my exposed ear when I sleep (I’m always afraid of something whispering to me.)but not on my nose cause I need to breathe.
2. A lot of the time I think about doing horrible things just because I want to see people’s reastion to them. For example, taking a bat to my boyfriend’s computer when he’s not around and then pouring water all over it. Then proceeding to ransack his house so that I can say some intruder came in and did it while I hid in the closet. Or another example, killing someone in front of a crowd of people. (I don’t want to elaborate on the details)
3. Sometimes when I laugh, one of my ribs pops. It hurts. :/ I’ve never been stung by a bee, broken a bone, orhad surgery.
4. I currently have five miniature dachshunds. Dusty, Libbly, Cocoa, Bandit
and Gizmo. I also have 3 labs but they live at my mom’s house. Sunny, Stormy, and Harley. Over thanksgiving I took care of Sunny and Stormy’s 15 puppies! Stormy only had 4
and Sunny had 11! When I was a kid I had
a cat named Little Paw. I got her around the age of 3 or 4 and had her until I was 16.
5. I have a tendency to manipulate people (but not necessarily on purpose). I do it with this “split personality” type of thing. I have no idea what it is, why it happens, where I got it, and whether I’m actually
mental or not. I also have a tendency to rub my eyebrows and I do it a lot. I can’t break the habit. And every time someone sees me doing it I act like I’m
rubbing my eye.
6. No body truly understands me. Oh how cliche of me to say! Anyway, my point is that I want so badly for someone to understand me and the second they get too close I manipulate them or confuse them so greatly that I confuse myself. I also have a HORRIBLE memory when I’m really angry. But it’s only
when I reach a certain mood and level of animosity. I speak very intelligently when I’m yelling at someone or arguing. Most of the time I end up puzzling them so much that they give up and let me win. I despise being around people that I deem as smarter than me. That’s one thing that bothers me so much about my boyfriend. I have to constantly be in control. Once a situation is so out of reach for me to control it, I go insane and do the irrational.
7. I touch myself a lot without noticing and fondle myself on a daily basis but I don’t actually masturbate. I have my boyfriend
take care of that for me.
I’m obsessed with a ridiculous amount of things that no one gives a shit about. Like: Spyro the dragon, etsy, anything having to do with clothing or fashion, green tea mochi, ect.

haha. It is so fun reading everyone’s response. Hmm, I don’t know if I have anything interesting.
1. I have black Asian hair, but somehow I have a small patch of blond and red hairs (as red as your dyed hair, Doe), which I pluck out or dye since they don’t match.
2. I was suppose to be a boy (the doctor even checked me on ultrasound).
3. I can write with both hands.
4. I trip over anything, but can run on a balance beam (I don’t get this one).
5. I have family history of schizoprenics, OCD, and other psychologic disorders.
6. I have to use the bathroom before I fall asleep (even if I don’t have to), or I will obsess about it and not sleep. Weird, I know.
7. I didn’t know what LOL, LMAO, and any of those other abbreviations until 2 weeks ago. I only learned how to send a text message 5 months ago.

I remember reading awhile ago that you were raised by your step-father, but i never knew you didn’t get a chance to meet your biological father, that’s kind of sad.
I’ve always loved your honesty, when it comes to talking about yourself with your fans. I hate when people who make blogs and do other things that grap attention refuse to tell details of their lives.
[Reply]
December 5th, 2009 at 4:51 am
I’ll take a swing at this! =)
1. I was the product of lemon gin and black ceiling paint. I’ve never met my biological father and my mother has yet to tell me a thing about him, but she does not know that I already know who he is and that he wants nothing to do with me. I’ve been raised by a man since I was a few months old and I refuse to call him my step father. He is my Daddy.
2. Speaking of my father, when I was a child, I used to steal his shirts after he got off of work because he’s always smelled amazing and I’m a true Daddy’s Girl. To be honest, I still do it.
3. I wear red lipstick all the damn time. Lately though, I’ve been switching up.
4. I have a fear of socks. They disgust me.
5. I love to wear girly sun dresses… to heavy metal shows.
6. I never wear clothing when I’m home alone.. but you probably didn’t care to hear that. ;P
7. Everything I draw looks like a jellybean.

OKay weird things about me:
1. My friends tell me I have rainbow eyes. Basically my eye color changes on how I feel or by my mood. Green when I am anrgy or frustrated. Bright blue when I am happy. Dark blue when I am sick or sad and grey when I am grumpy. I constantly make jokes that I have to match my clothes with my wardrobe. This also makes it very hard to hide emotions from family.
2. I was born two weeks late, however my hips never formed. I spent the first 6 months of my life in a plastic diaper. As a result I can pop my hips on will. It is a good way to make my friends stop talking because it grosses them out, with the very loud popping sound.
3. I have never met anyone with the same spelling as my name. As it is a rare gaelic boy spelling and I am a girl.
4. I am obessed with anything that relates to the Labyrinth movie or Tinkerbell.
5. When I go into a REM sleep very fast my body jolts and will jump a foot off the bed. This is great when my boyfriend sleeps over because it scares the crap out of him.
6. The way I found my boyfriend was that I met him when he was dating my childhood and best friend, 2 years after they broke up she set us up and we have been together for 5+ years.
7. I need to have an atmosphere or temperature of completely freezing around me to sleep. So I am basically the only one I know that puts the air conditioner on in the winter on high.

December 5th, 2009 at 8:33 am
1. I have a slight obsession with white haired people. Not necessarily older people but young people with white hair…and anime characters. All my favorite anime characters have white hair.
2. I hate wearing the same outfit twice or just regular t-shirt and jeans together…so I have to makeup new outfits all the time even though I rarely go shopping.
3. I was born on the last day possible to be a Scorpio and my personality is somewhat between a Scorpio and a Sagittarius.
4. When I was little I was scared of almost all animals…even chipmunks.
5.I can bend my hands all the way around. But I need to be on a flat surface. I can also put my foot on my head and bend my foot to my head when standing up.
6. The year I was born was exactly one week before thanksgiving (the day I was supposed to be born)and now my birthday can never be on thanksgiving, only the daybefore.
7. When I get stressed the way I calm down is to clean obsessively (my mom loves this) but I will only clean things if I want to. If I’m asked to do so it makes me angrier.

1- Not too strange, but I grew up on a farm with cows, pigs, chickens and turkeys.
2- Growing up, my mother had a rule that we weren’t allowed to sing at the dinner table.
3- I had a phase of a few years when I eliminated black entirely from my wardrobe. I’m finally comfortable with (and enjoy!) wearing it again.
4- When I was little I wanted to be a pickpocket, because my father told me about secret schools in Italy to learn the “trade” and I became infatuated.
5- I think if I was a guy, I’d look just like my sister’s fiance. (WEIRD!)
6- When I was younger, my grandmother would buy a lot of boxes of popsickles all at once and discard all but the pineapple ones.
7- I have a very strange way in my head for showing emotions. For example, when I’m overwhelmed with joy and happiness, I get this personal connection to the earth and want my entrails to bust out of my body and be shared with the world.

My 7 Things:
1. I’ve been Diagnosed with 4 different Phobias:
Nyctophobia – Fear of the Dark, I still have to have two night lights on in my bedroom, if at that my table lamp. During Hurricane Ike, I had to take my anxiety meds to make sure that I didn’t freak out when I went to bed! Is it any wonder that my favorite show is Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Coulrophobia – Fear of Clowns, I LOVE the circus, but I’m terrified of the clowns, even the happy harlequin sets my nerves on end. At my Fraiming job, I get so many clown pictures, I’m in tears, shaking, trying to compose myself. I work mostly by myself when I’m at the store, so I’m pretty much stuck. “IT” probably was the reason behind this one.
Emetophobia – Fear of vomiting, when I have to, I sit in the toilet area willing the bile to sit in my stomach and go away.
This one has not been given a name, but I HAVE to be the one driving, I’m terrified of riding in a car with someone else driving, I’m so scared that they’d get into an accident, I HAVE to take an anxiety pill to make myself calm.
2. I’m a 25 year old, who absolutely LOVES comic books, and uses them as a teaching tool for her High School Students, in fact, I’m the only History Teacher in the school who uses comics, music and modern cartoons as teaching tools.
3. I’m a mad mad mad mad Dresden Dolls/Amanda Palmer fan, I’m making art pieces of her work, AND shadowboxed a rare DD tshirt for my bedroom, on my DD Wall….scary much? I went so far as to Rothbury, Michigan just to see them one year.
4. I met my boyfriend at an Adult Novelty Store, Cindie’s, that I used to work at. When we go to Comedy Clubs, we sit in the front and they always ask us where we met, and then we’re the joke for the night. We’ve been dating almost two years.
5. I have a bald spot on my head, due to alopecia, its fun going to my guy friends who are worried about going bald, and telling them that I am.
6. I’m recollecting all the R.L. Stein Fear Street, Fear Street Sagas, and anything with the name Fear Street, books. I have about 1/2 of the collection so far.
7. I love anything that is interesting, so I collect fetishes from different cultures, religious statues (with in reason, nothing too big or offensive to the religion itself), fossils, books, pictures, record albums, broaches, gloves, etc. If its beautiful and interesting, I want it, its so easy to shop for me sometimes.
Also, in discussion of mermaids, checkout this image I made a while back: Mermaid

1. I study the flags of the world for fun..so i can pretty much identify them.
2. I love going to the toy sections and looking at all the colors and often buy myself a ” My little pony”…i wish i was one, LOL
3. I am most creative at night time, so i go to sleep by 3 or 4am, only to wake up at 6:30 am..
4. I LOVE coca cola, actually i am IN LOVE with it. Not only the soda, but i collect it as well. But there is nothing like opening a can of coke and that hint of lime that it has..awwwwwwwwww.
I am actually thinking of having a coca cola xmas or making a tree out of coke cans, LOL!
5. I love anything to do with the MOB. I like watching bio’s on them and know the history.
6. I still try to find the end of the rainbow, so i walk as far as i can, but then i return.
7. I often hear my name being called out or i hear musicin complete slience..but then i think that is being CRAZY not weird, LMAO!

December 5th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Here we go!
1. When I was in secons grade, I wrote a story called “Big Fat Bird.” It was all about this obese bluebird who ordered pizza with his friend Short Squirrel.
2. If you can’t make it in the microwave, I can’t make it. As a result, I am now a pro at cooking chicken, rice, soups, potatoes, and other quick foods in the microwave. Thank goodness for boyfriends who can cook!
3. I have an unhealthy obsession with Drag Queens. The makeup, the jewelry, even just the walk! I’ve decided that once I’m old enough to get into the good gay clubs, I’m gonna be a faux queen! The girls who dress as guys that dress as girls!
4. I can roll my stomach like a bellydancer!
5. I’ve never seen any Star Wars, Jurassic Park, or Rocky movies. But I’m a huge fan of Thai and Japanese horror :]
6. I dip Cheetos in vanilla ice cream, brownies in ketchup, and Oreos in ranch-flavored chip dip.
7. In addition to drag queens, I’m obsessed with….Russia! I’ve never heard the language spoken, been to the country, or even been exposed to the culture (aside from your ancedotes about your heritige, Doe!). I’m going so far as to major in Russian Studies and language in college and move there!

Okay…
1- I’m naturally blonde, but I dye my hair dark brown. I have to pencil in my eyebrows every morning to match. When I get regrowth it looks like my hair is floating away from my scalp.
2- I have trained everyone I work with to think all my Loli outfits are (a) perfectly normal, and (b) acceptable work attire.
3- Don’t touch my bellybutton. Ever. Thanks.
4- I won’t lose RESPECT for my friends even if I find that they do stupid things, like cutting. Sure, you’re an idiot. But you’re a lovely idiot.
5- Both my boyfriend and I went through this animé phase when we were younger. We never obsessed, though, and now that sorta stuff gives us the creeps.
6- I blush when I read flashback issues of Hellboy or B.P.R.D… I have SUCH A HUGE SECRET CRUSH on WWII-era Prof. Bruttenholm. He’s so brave and smart.
7- I can pretty much quote the Henson / Bowie movie Labyrinth from start to finish.
“Through dangers untold and hardships un-numbered…”

this is a fantastic topic, doe, it’s been really interesting reading everybody’s comments!
hokay, seven weird things about me:
1. i get really frightened of reflective surfaces at night. i always feel like i’m suddenly going to see a creepy face behind me.
2. i don’t, as a general rule, use capital letters. i started doing this because i thought they were ugly, now it is just habit. related to this, i loveloveLOVE non-standard english. creative and interesting uses of language make my heart do a happy dance :) (the only exception to this is when companies do it; for some – and probably hypocritical – reason, i like companies to use standard english for the most part.
3. i often act out whole movie/book scenes to myself. yes, out loud. (and sometimes in public)
4. i’m a shameless people watcher. i’m a writer, so i’m always looking for interesting people to base characters on. i stare at people all the time, and i’m probably not as subtle about it as i should be.
5. i’m obsessed with crushed velvet. i can’t walk past anything velvet in a shop without pausing to stroke it.
6. i still sleep with three stuffed animals: a polar bear called snowy, who i’ve had since i was a baby, a tiger called rajah, who’ve i’ve had since i was four or five-ish, and another polar bear who i haven’t officially named and just refer to as fat bear (it’s a term of endearment), who i’ve had for two years. now i’ve probably just sealed my loser status, haha.

This is the most happymaking thing I’ve read in days. ^_^
On to the seven:
1.) When I was a kid I liked to pretend I was on reality tv. I would narrate anything I was doing and talk to my “camera” people all the time.
2.) I’m obsessed with the idea of having a pet goat. I think it would be absolutely fabulous.
3.) I am a smoker, and an anime fan, once I saw an anime in which a character wrote awesome quote on her cigarettes before she smoked them, So I decided to try it. I learned its not good to smoke pen ink. In fact, my mouth tasted like pen ink for a couple weeks. ick.
4.) I love video games, playing sports, and most guy activities, guys tend to beat me at most guy activities, but! They can not beat me at farting. Which sounds gross but I find it to be one of my better qualities.
5.)I pour hot candle wax into all my ashtrays, so that when I put out a cigarette it smells good! =)
6.) One of my exes dumped me cause he decided he was gay, which should have made me sad, but instead I took him to a gay club so he could find a boyfriend.
7.)I like to go out and compliment strangers. But never lame compliments, I like to make them from the heart. It’s really fun. Plus the responses are always different, once I got stuff thrown at me for it!

ooooh, uhhh, 7 weird things! might as well type them out before my best friend gets out of the bathroom.
1. i love smelling like food. i will NOT wear a perfume that smells like flowers or anything boring like that. yuck! for me it’s all about smelling like cupcakes, icing, chocolate, cream… vanilla and cinnamon and other ‘traditional’ foody scents like that are pushing it.
2. i pretty much only ever find gay guys or straight girls attractice. you have NO idea how annoying this is, hahaha! or maybe you do?
3. i don’t use nailpolish remover unless it’s a necessity. i prefer to chip and peel it off in the shower. its hell for my nails.
4. i wear boots all year round, even if it’s summer and my legs are sweltering.
5. i cannot text talk at all. well, it’s possibly, i just hate it. everything i text to someone has to be spelt properly, with few exceptions for really long words. grammar, i’m a bit slack with though haha. i dont use capitals out of pure laziness.
6. whenever i do things in everyday life, i think ‘i should tweet this’ or ‘i should put this on tumblr’. i am ridiculously addicted to microblogging, its insane! :/
7. unlike your green hair, mines naturally dark blue-black! i dye it sometimes though, and usually only a certain chunk in the front. right now it’s pink but it’ll fade to a gingery orange-red. black hair with at least a bit of ginger in it [before the fringe chunk, it was the bottom layer] is my signature hairstyle. :]

December 6th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
When I saw this post I wanted to join in the fun.
These point are in no order.
1) I want to a job that allowes me to travel and I love language. So to compromise I am in Linguistics (the study of human language), I am taking Russian (I am needed to learn a language before graduation), and I plan to take a course to get a ESL teaching certificate.
2) Now after reading two I will say this: I have a hard time speaking. I speak far too fast for those around me and slowing my speech down is a difficult thing for me.
3) I have a hole in my chest, medically it is called Pectus Excavatum, or something like that, I could care less for Latin spelling atm. If you choose to google it you will probably see the worst cases. Thankfully I am a girl so my boobs hide some of it, but I still feel a bit uncomfortable wearing a bikini :)
4) I have light brown eyes and my hair is Blond, Red and Brown all at once. It is always changing colours depending on the lighting! When I was younger my hair was white and all my other blond friends had blue eyes. I was so jealous that I had my lame brown eyes unlike all the other blond kids, this still bothers me.
5) I am straight but sometimes when I am at the mall or whatever, I will see what I think to be a hot guy and as I sneak a little closer I find it is a girl :/
6) I am very aloof in many ways and at times detached. The weird thing I am about to say it that while I am very detached I am very passionate, I usually only feel strong emotions and in fact hate emotional people. I don’t like to be around people who are overtly emotional. Because of that I may come off cold to others who don’t know me to well.
7) I think I am falling in love with a new friend of mine. I am scared that he feels the same way for me. I have never had a boyfriend before and I am 18 and in my first year of Uni, his may sound odd but I am scared that because I never had a boyfriend before I may botch our relationship if it comes to that. I want to ask my friends for help but I don’t like to share my secrets with anyone except the internet… no one knows me on the internet.
So I realise that what I wrote here is not so much as ‘fun’ but more-so interesting. :D

Hmm…My husband would tell you have alot more then 7 weird things about me.
1. I loved mermaids when I was little too. Me and my best friend use to swim like mermaids in her pool and sing the little mermaid songs. I loved that I have red hair like Ariel. But I definately dont have a conflicted gender identity. I am a girly girl.
2. I love barbies still. My husband bought me a big barbie dream house about a year ago because I had been deprived as a child. I don’t play with them though. I collect the display one’s now. The dreamhouse is just there in my closet as a comfort. haha.
3. I get sentimental about almost anything. A hair clip my best friend gave me in year 1… an old dirty shirt signed by all my primary school friends etc. Because of this I often find big clean outs to be very conflicting and frustrating…because i have soo much stuff and want to get rid of it…but can’t let go.
4. I have a huge closet filled with lots of clothes that I have never worn…and not sure that I ever will. Lately I have been making a conscious effort to wear a different thing everyday until I circulate through the whole lot.
5. As with number 1…I still feel very much like a child. I find comfort in things from my childhood and have never truly let go of somethings thinking and acting like a child.
6. I love wearing costumes and wigs and making drastic changes to my appearance for fun (including fun and dramatic makeup..I love lime crime)…I love the idea of being in disguise. Unfortunately I rarely go to costume parties and have decided to start having my own costume parties. The first will be new years eve and I think I will be a pirate or snow white.
7. I think, overanalyse and examine things. Sometimes I stare because I like seeing people, the way they dress and integrate with the people around them. I get way too interested over the smallest things. I definately was one of these kids that couldn’t concentrate at school…there was always something more worthy of my attention.

My best friend has the green hair too, though she doesn’t believe me and has dyed her hair multiple times with tons of colours. Now it’s gone to a grey – ish tinge.
7 Really Weird things about me:
1. Whenever I watch a scary movie at night, I will, actually, jump a couple feet to my bed to make sure that the serial killer, or monster, won’t grab my feet from under the bed, as I crawl into it.
2. I would kill for a Russian or an Irish accent. Big jump between the two, but since I’m Irish, born in Canada though, I’ve wanted a familial connection. And a Russian accent sounds beautiful.
3. Although I won’t admit this in front of friends and loved ones, I have read, and loved, Twilight. I have read all four of them a minimum of 4 or 5 times, and to rid me of my habit I have donated my book set to my former highschool.
4. When I get bored and have tweezers handy, I pluck the hairs from my legs, and anywhere that requires it.
5. I have conversations with my cat, and get mad when he doesn’t respond. But it bugs me even more when I’m talking to him and he just leaves the room.
6. I have a huge pain tolerance level, at least when it comes to sharp objects. My piercer and tattoo artist is actually amazed. I’ve had over a dozen piercings and three tattoos and I’ve never even said “ow”. And I’m usually the one who’s friends have hold their hands when doing something ‘painful’. But I can’t stand biting my nails to the quick and having them bleed or hurt every time they’re touched.
7. The scene in Transformers when BumbleBee gets carnapped and is being sprayed with the cold to slow him down, I tear up and get a knot in my belly.

I totally agree with #2. I love Russian accents with a passion!
We were watching a WWI video in class, and a Russian man started to speak and I forgot the rest of the movie. xD

This is a really amusing post! Seven weird things about me:
1. I have weird bones and joints. My sternum (breast bone) cracks when I sneeze or cough. My hips dislocate and my kneecaps are positioned incorrectly.
2. I am a cat and often communicate as such. I have even trained my boyfriend to understand what specific meows mean, which is useful when I am too lazy to use words.
3. I’m considering changing my last name to McNutt, my great grandmother’s last name. That way, I can be a psychologist named Dr. McNutt. How funny would that be?
4. I come fully equipped with my own engagement ring.
5. I can’t stand to be wet unless it is on my own terms–even then, it is short-lived. If anyone touches me with wet hands, I get really annoyed. I also hate rain unless it is POURING. If I am going to get wet, I might as well feel justified. The drizzly, misty crap infuriates me.
6. I am a medical enigma. No one can ever figure out what is wrong with me. I do have one good example of doctors actually figuring out what was wrong though: One doctor examined me. Then she had to go get another doctor to examine me. Then they went and got a text book. Then they stood there looking at me and looking at the book. (Very comforting!) Apparently, I had a viral infection in my nerve roots. WTF? I get sick with weird things.
7. I am allergic to latex bandaids, except for Hello Kitty ones. However, I am not allergic to latex or latex-free bandaids. I’m also allergic to ants.

1. If i don’t make it as a makeup artist, I want to be a meteorologist. or a tornado chaser.
2. I have the mind of a guy when it comes to cleaning. I can never see when a room is dirty and needs to be clean.
3. I can go over 3 months without wearing the same thing twice.
4. I am allergic to everything green outside. Trees, grass, flowers. My childhood really sucked because of it.
5. I collect the weirdest things. Some of my collections: dead glow sticks, dead batteries, beach glass, neon beads, juice bottle caps, jolt energy drink cans
6. I am nothing like any of my family and it constantly makes me think I’m adopted
7. My aunt thinks I’m part alien. Literally. She thinks an alien came down and impregnated my mom and I’m the end result

Fun!
1. I am double jointed. This makes me good at yoga.
2. I never set alarms on the hour or 15 minute marks. And it’s always on ad odd number. For instance my get up for work alarm is set at 6:57am.
3. I’ve always been a bit obsessed with forensic psychology & and serial killers. I LOVE reading books/watching documentaries and movies about those subjects. It fascinates me to no end.
4. I don’t eat animals and I don’t wear them either. I never wore fur (gross!) and I stopped wearing leather about 8 years ago. I also don’t use anything tested on animals. This goes for cosmetics, cleaning products etc… This also includes things made with gelatin. Since I’ve been a vegetarian for 17 years I always felt like a hypocrite when I wore leather so I made the decision 8 years ago to stop. Plus leather shoes are extremely bad for the environment…tanning of leather especially. For the same reason I also try not to buy PVC products.
5. I have a sometimes unhealthy obsession with all things Hello Kitty. I started collecting Hello Kitty items many many years ago. My collection also grew significantly when I lived in Asia for a year. The amount of HK stuff I brought back with me was insane. I probably own 500+ hello kitty items. Some of my favorite are in a display case in my apartment (huge Ikea bookcase with class doors) and the rest are packed in several boxes in my attic.
6. I hate my natural color of hair (light brown) so I have been dying it for over 15 years. First time I dyed it I was 15 and I dyed it bright red (ala Miki Berenyi of Lush who I was a bit obsessed with when I was a teen). My favorite colors were blue, magenta and red. Now that I can’t have too much of an un-natural color of hair (due to work) I fluctuates between blacks, plums and reds.
7. I have an eye phobia. I can watch the most gory horror movie or surgery show without issue but if it has to do with the eyes I have to turn away. I get VERY anxious when I have to go to the eye doctor and I am unable to put anything in my eyes like contacts or even watch others put them in. Luckily I have never had pink eye because there is no way I would be able to put ointment in my eye. It’s already hard enough for me to put eye drops in. This is also why I can’t line my inner bottom lash line or put fake lashes on well. That skeeves me out.

you want weird? :P you asked for it…i’ll say stuff i’ve never said in public before…. :/
1. i believe in fairies. not in a childish way,in a completetely and utterly real way, the way i believe in…orange juice or something :P
2.i can sometimes “read people’s minds”, i’ve done that since i was very young, now i can even make them think what i want to…it’s quite difficult though (i swear it’s true even though i doubt myself all the time)
3.i used to have violet eyes :P as a little…then they gradually changed to grey-green
4.Until I went to school I used to think that there is a country called Yahahafa. My mother used it in short chats as the following:
Little Kelly: I want to play now!
Mom: And I want to be in Yahahafa now but I’m not. :P
5.My dream job as a child was to open a tavern (greek restaurant) by the sea, close to our cottage.
6.i love to look at my life as i would watch a movie sometimes, i get a dramatic look in my face and “play my part”. I enjoy the hell out of it, it’s a great way to look on the bright side of life AND years of it have resulted to my friends calling a “cartoon” hehehe
7.i am a bit afraid of all the theories about the year 2012 :/ i try to convince myself that the whole world will broaden their minds and believein fairies and such spirits…only that and not the horrible things they say :/

I’m not exactly normal to begin with but…
1. I can roll my stomach, learned out of boredom when I was really little. I can also pick up almost anything with my feet.
2. I have multi-colored eyes. They look green a lot of the time, but in the right makeup they look bluish or brown, and if I’m crying they look like a silvery-green
3. I have one full sister (3 years younger) and two half siblings (13 an 16 years older).
4. My dad is from New Zealand, his mom is from Scotland and his dad is from Canada (They met in NZ).
5. I have traveled out of the country more times than anyone else I know and have had a passport since I was 18 months old. 2 times to NZ, 1 to Germany, 1 to Belize, 2 to Mexico, 1 to Canada
6. I am a MASSIVE Batman fan. I collect Batman shirts, toys, posters, and random stuff (I have Pez Dispensers with Batman and 3 villains, toy binoculars, action figures, posters, pajama pants, shirts, cape, Batgirl costume, comics, etc…). I also have plans to get myself a Batarang or Bat symbol tattooed somewhere. Batfans, ftw.
7. I am a nerd and gamer. I have a comic book collection (mostly Batman and anything by Alan Moore), more books than shelf space, over 100 horror movies… I have watched most of them.
8. (Sorry, last one I swear!) I write. I’ve written enough content for at least two novels (or countless short stories) but I never think they’re good enough to publish anywhere but on FictionPress.

we all tell the same story: blonde when little, green at puberty
oh my gosh! you too?? i’ve never met anyone else with (natural) green hair before! the changing of my haircolour also coincided with puberty, now that i think about it.
nowadays i bleach my hair platinum blonde, so the roots tend to look really really dark by contrast when they grow in, but in the past when i dyed my hair a similar red to yours i got the green roots problem as well @A@

This is such a great post, my boyfriend broke up with me tonight, so I came on here to get alittle glee. Everyone on here is so positive and kind. Sometimes when you want to give up on the world, seeing others support each other and be kind to one another just makes me remember it’s not worth giving up at all. :)

December 8th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
My hair is dark greenish (ash) brown. It’s so lacking in red that, when it is bleached, it goes straight through honey instead of that crazy horrible orange-ginger that clashes badly with so many skintones.
Your roots look greener in comparison to the red :) I used to dye my hair burgundy and my roots would come through the most disgusting, dirty colour. Now it’s all (mostly) natural, it just looks soft and pretty with my pink skin and green eyes ;)

Love this post! I read everyone’s replies! okay, my turn…
well, first the mermaid thing. YES, I was in love with mermaids BEFORE Disney’s ariel :) And I definitely have gender and identity issues (bisexual! whee!)
okay…
1) I was baptized catholic, went to catholic school, became a witch at 13 and a goddess worshipper. At the age of 30 I deconverted into an atheist!!! Weird eh? any ex-wiccans out there?
2) I went through a phase in my late teens and early 20’s where I hated PINK. HATE HATE!!! But then I started wearing brighter more feminine colors. Still no pink. The day after my wedding at age 29 I stood in front of the mirror wearing a peach colored shirt and had the STRONGEST urge to wear pink again. Now I wear it a lot!
3) I am a lucid dreamer. In my dreams, I can make people and things appear and disappear as well as fly. I often fly myself to a donut shop :)
4) As a child, I wanted to be a singer. I didn’t give up that dream until I was 18.
5)I went to massage school and I got tendonitis in both my arms! I still graduated but never practiced.
5) I’ve been obsessed with vampires, witches, werewolves and ghosts since I was very little.
6) My grandma was an Avon lady. She was one of the top sellers in the country. The owners of Avon brought her to New York to find out how she was making so many sales! Now I can spot Avon products at any thrift shop or antique store. I also have my own small collection from the things my grandma passed on to us.
7) I love Disneyland but most of my nightmares are about Disneyland. totally weird. I think my subconscious is using Disneyland as a metaphor for my life!
8) In high school I played Rizzo in our production of Grease. It made so much money, the school was still using it like 3 years later.
9) I am a very fast reader.
10) I have a wealth of song lyrics stored in my head. At times it is uncanny….
later everyone!

haha, it’s so fun reading these. I’m gonna post my own now
1) When I was about 7 or so I had a little spanish friend in my hands that I would talk to. Just clamp my hands to my mouth and talk to him.
2) I randomly scream when something I really don’t see, comes. It’s like bam! instant scream.
3) I have a habit of accidentally dropping food. a lot.
4) I do have many full blown conversations with myself.
5) I love trying everything and variety so I’ll often mix frozen yogurts together, have a little of almost everything on plate at a buffet, etc.
6) I love dipping my fingers into hot candle wax. In fact I can’t keep much attention span or other things going on in a room so I never light candles. Only once.
7. I LOVE SMELLING things. Like seriously. My nose is hyperactive. I’m attracted to good scents. My future husband will probably lure me sweet (but subtle) cologne. My hearing is not so great though.

7 odd things about me :)
1. i ABSOLUTLEY HAVE to lift my feet up when i drive over railroad tracks. i get really bad anxiety in the car on road trips because I feel like there is a possibility that I might miss a railroad. My husband has become accustomed to being prepared to wake me up when one is coming. I get really anxious when i even look at railroad tracks and when I see people near them, stopped on them in their cars, etc. I panic. Last year my aunt got married on a train (a la’ the polar express) and I had a major freakout about having my feet on the ground while we were on the tracks. it took me about an hour to start feeling comfortable ish.
2. my favorite colors are pink and leopard/cheetah print., and sparkly. sassy :)
3. im obsessed with cupcakes but i dont like cake. or maybe cupcakes are just the right amount of cake, im not really sure. I have a cupcake tattoo on the top of my foot and I collect little cupcake shaped items. people I barely know have bought me cupcake things because they just know how i feel about it. ps. doe deere. i have that urban outfitters cupcake ornament on my tree, along with a really cute ice cream cone (joanns fabric store), bows, and hello kitty stuff! all glittery white silver and teal! you’d LOVE it.
4. i havent had a drop of soda in 6 and a half years. my sophomore year of high school i weighed 108 lbs and didnt want to get “FAT”. so i stopped drinking it. I weigh 132 lbs now. go figure. lol.
5.i used the word BONUS instead of extra. even when its clearly not a bonus to have extra of some things.
6. when we were little my family didnt have a ton of money so my sister and i used to make tinfoil jewlery. My sister likes to tell me i went from tinfoil tiaras to tiffanys. im just moving up in the world ;) still a princess.
six is good for now :)

Aww, I love mermaids too!
I’m an artist, and they’re basically my signature thing to draw.
Maybe I’ll send you some of my drawings sometime.
mk, seven weird things about me
1) I remember my dreams better then I remember things in reality. Especially when it comes to what the background looks like. I can remember hundreds of dreams dating back to the age of 3. I’ve also had the same dream more than once and I can Lucid dream.
2) Keeping on the subject of dreams, I can also lucid dream with my eyes open during the day, so basically its like, hallucinating an alternative reality. Gives a new meaning to the term “in lala land”!
3) This is kind of unique. I’m left-handed.
4) I’m OCD to the point where I can only have my hair light blonde/ white because white is the only color that matches everything (besides black, but having blonde eyeborws…no)
5)Projected thermography fascinates me to no end.
6) I can’t sit out in the sun for more than 10 minutes without getting a sunburn. even if I have sunscreen.
7) I didn’t sleep in my own bed until I was 10 ( I slept with me sister) and even now, I can’t sleep without someone else, or my dog in the room.
