Since I'm fairly new to "Chit chat"!


As a child loved the show "alf" so much I wished to marry somebody with a last name starting with "F"(first two initials are A L).

    I played clarinet in high school, but my senior year for marching band, we didn't have enough low brass. So our director recruited me and two other clarinets to play sousaphone. Being named Susan (and having gone by Sue at the time) I had unwittingly adopted a new nickname.

    The inside of my garage/workshop is decorated with Christmas items, many of which I light up while working on new decorations for the coming year....with Christmas music playing....in the middle of summer. (I set up a 25-30K light display each year.)
    Note: One photo of the display is included with my MFP photos.

    Apparently I always eat my food in a specific order. One item at a time until it's gone and then I move to the next item on the plate.

    Never noticed I did that until my wife pointed it out when we were dating.

    I'm an organized neat freak. I separate all my clothes by sections (dress shirts, gym wear, casual shirts etc), then by color light to dark. My closet looks like a store rack.

    I have an irrational fear of people walking too close to me on the stairs. if people chase me for a joke i sit down, there and then.

    This btw stems from my brother chasing me up the stairs as a child, until i once threw myself up the last steps and somersaulted and broke my hand. And then from my dad chasing me down stairs and i fell and broke my foot.

    If my family think i need a "punishment" they make me run up the stairs and they chase me, i always scream. Im 30.

    Jeez.. lol

    I do that too!! And all my canned goods have to face forward and be grouped as well. LOL

    I'm terrified of subway tunnels. I stand about 10 feet away from the track, cling to whoever is next to me (thankfully, I've always gone with people I know!) and take a running leap into the train so the door doesn't close on me. It's pathetic.

    Also, I was published in a teen literary magazine when I was 14 :)

    The day I got my license I was driving my mom's mustang and hit a pole... I convinced her someone must have hit the car while it was parked in a parking lot. I came clean a few years ago.... (about 10 years later)

    Oh and I'm so claustrophobic that I will avoid elevators at all costs. Even when I was in labor, I insisted on taking the stairs up to the maternity ward at the hospital.

    I do that too, bf thinks it's cute. I go from what's less tasty to what's tastier.


    I was raised by military parents in a military way, doing cleaning chores 3 times a week, as soon as I got out of their place, I didn't clean more than once a week/ every other week and I don't do my bed anymore ;)

    Well i suppose its how you look at it, i think my irrational scary thing is quite funny and causes my friends and family no end of amusement at my expense.

    but ok, um... When i was a kid i wanted to be a dolphin and i didn't understand why this couldn't happen.

    Several years ago I accidently dyed my hair pink because I didn't leave the dye in long enough. I was horrified! One of my co-workers (a young woman) liked it and so did my son. I'll never make that mistake again. :noway:

    I kinda do this....
    But only if my meal includes some sort of potatoes (fries, mashed, baked etc)
    I always eat the 'potato' first---maybe cuz they're more filling? Idk.

    I do the same, except to the extreme.. my food cannot touch.

    If I eat something "saucy" I'll have several plates.

    My weird eating habit is I eat the middle of the pizza and leave the crust in a perfect circle. That always gets me weird looks from the waiting staff!

    I was trying to get my hair dyed Red, but instead it was Orange... BRIGHT ORANGE!!!! I had it for 2 weeks and changed it before college classes started again. My nickname was "Wendy's girl" because of the Wendy's logo with redheaded girl.

    I've just been doing some sorting out and decided to count how many pairs of shoes/boots I have got, i'm up to about 70 at the moment and know there are more. Do you think this is a little obsessive lol xx

    My nickname in High School was "Mighty Mouse" because I was kinda built like this:

    Plus I'm only 5'6" and stopped growing at 13.

    The big guys thought it was funny watching me do a bench press and only have to move the bar like 6" from chest to full extention because of the short arms and barrel chest.

    I am addicted to chapstick. I put it on at least twice an hour. I wake up through the night and put it on. I have 6 tubes in my house at all times.

    I'm addicted to chewing gum.
    I can pop everything in my body...even my nose.
    and I have a fear of playing the game hide and seek or manhunt...

    I was bitten by a snake this morning. The little *kitten* got me like three times. It didn't hurt.

    I am terrified of even numbers, absolutely terrified. The radio/ TV volume must always be set on an odd increment. I'm constantly doing math in my head to make even numbered things come out as an odd number. haha I blame my mom. I was born 13 days late, causing me to be born in an odd month, on an odd day, of an odd year. Hmmm.... hahaha

    I work for an airline, fly fairly regularly, and turbulence scares the beejeebers out of me. Logically, I know there's nothing to fear, but as soon as the bumps come, by stomach knots up immediately and there's nothing I can do to stop that fear reaction.

    It wasn't always like this - I think a missed approach due to crosswinds a few years ago did me in. Man, that was scary - aircraft rocking all over the place. :frown:

    I'll never stop flying though!!!

    I stutter when i get nervous and am quite awkward around cute guys. I also make "clicking"sounds when a cute guy walks by. I have had this pointed out by multiple people and i have only caught myself doing it a few times. seriously strange and i don't know why i do it. AT ALL....

    Another thing about me, I HATE being tickled. When I was a kid, my mom used to tickle me until I'd lose my breath. To this day I cannot stand to be tickled. My kids knew better from a young age not to tickle Mommy.

    Maybe it's going back to some cavewoman roots.....like your mating call?:laugh:

    Sort of like as a guy I'm almost completely incapable of looking not at a woman's cleavage without some pretty good effort.

    "Not gonna look....not gonna look...no gonna........damn it, I looked":blushing:
