    They did an episode of Seinfeld based on my "man hands"
    I rode a bike (not "bicycle") during college because I just thought chicks should be able to ride-My dad STILL doesn't know!
    I think automatics are blasphemy
    I love construction and remodeling projects and can tile and hang cabinets like a pro
    I DETEST shopping!

    I love spending money, whether I HAVE it or not
    I love nice dinners at upscale restaurants
    Home decor and cleanliness is IMPORTANT
    SHOES-mostly cause they always fit. :)
    Towels. I'm a sucker for a good towel. I have thought about getting married, JUST so that I could register for some towels that I would never splurge on myself!

    1. I'm known for squeaking/squeeing/squealing at the sight of something so adorable I just can't help myeslf (puppies, adorable children, etc.)
    2. I'm a sucker for love songs/movies/novels.
    3. I cry at pretty much every movie ever made (sometimes even those action ones), commercials, etc.
    4. I love miniature versions of things for no other reason than the fact that they are super cute and tiny.
    5. Burning candles with a lot of fragrance makes me happy; pretty much have one burning 24/7 while I'm home.

    1. I wear men's clothing more often than women's (only recently have I started to buy clothes from the women's section).
    2. I carry a wallet rather than a purse (I hate purses, in fact)
    3. I cannot understand the concept of needing more than about 5 pairs of shoes; anything more than 10 just seems out of control.
    4. I cross my legs "guy style" rather than girl style unless I'm wearing a skirt, which is rare, and even then only if I remember
    5. Although I actually do like looking at jewelry and I think I want to wear it, I very rarely wear any jewelry at all (and have never even had my ears pierced).


    I love tons of the others listed, too, though. Love the Hitchhiker's books, love football (NFL, really, not much into college), etc.

    Love this post! :drinker:

    Towels. I'm a sucker for a good towel. I have thought about getting married, JUST so that I could register for some towels that I would never splurge on myself!
    Register anyways, and send a link to your 'out of town' friends that would never show up.... have your fake wedding in Africa or Australia... where they would never go, and hope for them sending the gift via mail. Towels would just 'show up' at your door.

    Then, a few months later, have a fake divorce. :laugh:
