    If I step on a crack on the sidewalk, I have to step on the other one with my other foot so I'll feel more balanced.

    I am always late to something. No matter how early I get up to get ready for an event, I am always late. I'm hard-of-hearing and half black, so I'm always on "Deaf Standard Time" or "Black People Time" lol

    I have an irrational fear of standing in front of the microwave when I'm microwaving something cuz of radiation screwing with my body.

    I cannot even come close to doing the splits, but I can get my foot behind my head.

    I do this too.

    a clown at a circus once grabbed my arm, and despite my resistance, pulled me as hard as he could into the ring. I was then a part of the show and had to go behind a privacy screen and pretend to be changing, but really they were just throwing a giant dress on me.

    When I eat french fries with salt I constantly move my fingers to get the salt off. I've been made fun of for that since High School still do it.

    I can't have my back to a doorway or a window at my feet in a bedroom. I also have an illogical fear of red doors.

    When I eat a burger or sandwich, I have to eat all the way around the edges first. I eat pizza crust first (literally peel the cheese off) and the cheese last, with a fork. And I eat all of one type of food at a time before eating another (I don't care if they touch), but it's always veggie, then carbs, then meat, then dairy... and each subtype is eaten separately, so if there's two types of veggies, I eat them one at a time.

    I hate excess salt, and will rub salt off pretzels. I refuse to eat potato chips, but some tortilla chips are okay.

    I hang my shirts up in order of sleeve length in my closet.

    I turn my clothes in the proper orientation before throwing them in the laundry basket (my mother was strict, and if a shirt was right side out in my laundry hamper and was supposed to be washed inside out, she refused to wash it. Balled up socks were not permitted either)

    I have a phobia of going to the Dr., and especially of needles and getting blood work done.
    I was scheduled to get a blood panel done once, and I ran out of the office crying when they called my name...and I was 23 at the time /shm

    Another problem of mine is a social anxiety disorder I have, but haven't been medicated for in a very long time, so it makes shopping really difficult.

    I know people aren't staring, and saying nasty things about me when I do go shopping, but for some reason I can't get it out of my head and I know it sounds a bit nuts but I always end up having to remind myself that I'm nobody important, and these people are here to shop just like me. No one is paying that much attention.

    Oh, and while I'm embarrassing myself - I'm still secretly afraid of the dark :/

    I used to have a major fear of midgets...

    It used to affect me in a big way, i couldnt deal with it in my job, in daily life (shopping/going out for a walk so on)
    Couldnt even bear watching them on TV.

    Im not so bad now, i had to deal with it (as in get over it) because of my job.


    And to think.. if i hadnt of, id never have been able to watch the amazing show that is Game Of Thrones!

    I also have a fear of going under bridges... Even more so when trains go across.
    I tried to explain this to my dad once, telling him that due to the age of the bridge.. never know when it could collapse... My dads responce was 'they have been there years, carrying tons of weight an occasionally getting hit by cars/vans and having lorrys stuck under them' ...... All the more reason for them to just collapse then!!

    1) I was featured on a hunting show
    2) I tell people I grew up in a small town & they picture 12,000 people. What I really mean is I'm from a small town, like less than 300 people. If you're from there, we've met.
    3) I orangize the clothes in my closet based on ROYGBIV. Dont mess with it.

    - When I was little I told my mom that I didn't like to eat raisins because they made my teeth tickle - still do! But oatmeal raisin is one of my favs.

    OMG I'm the same with apples and nobody has understood me before!

    Nope. And if I don't have time to properly put my clothes away, I hang them in the coat closet so there's nothing out of order in my closet.

    LOL I do this too!

    Odd Facts: I smell ALL my foods before I eat, I refuse to eat a salad that I haven't put the dressing on (I get mad when a restaurant puts the dressing on MY salad), I shake my right foot until I fall asleep, and I WILL NOT eat any kind of meat with a bone in it.

    A band I was playing Bass in opened up for the Jam (My UK friends will know) in a small club in Boston and they introduced me to their buddy named Bono....yup THAT Bono but it was 1980 and U2 werent famous yet

    I love hunting and can kill, field dress, skin and butcher on my own (though I need help dragging a deer out of the woods and hanging it up lol I'm too little). My favorite purse is one I had custom made from the hide of my first buck!

    I have my CHL and carry a Wilson Combat Stealth 1911 every day. I also got 3rd place in a local target shooting competition last month.

    I drink fruit juice from wine glasses because it makes me feel fancy.

    In college I was the lead singer in an indie band.

    I look young (people usually think I'm 16-17, but I'm 23) and my fiance is twice my age so people always think he's my father. Imagine the surprise when he grabs a buttcheek and steals a kiss while they're looking :devil:

    - I *HATE* bridges, anything bigger than two cars freaks me the hell out. My eyes screw shut-driving or not-, my body tenses, and I start breathing very quickly. It's very traumatic for me, my passengers too if it happens when I'm driving. DH always drives wherever we go somewhere new because you never know if there's a bridge. I've never been in an accident because of it though.

    - I have to eat the head off of gummy bears first. Otherwise, I feel they are staring at me with their little soulless eyes, and *judging* me.

    - hate having housepets, always have, and would rather they were outside. I've always had a housepet, parents, grandparents, DH. IThey smell, their dirty, and they mess your house up no matter how much you care for them.
