The Kat House

I found this meme on Barry’s blog, and I just couldn’t resist. Logtar has issued a blogging challenge. List 24 unusual things about yourself. Wow, it’s going to be difficult to choose just 24, but here goes…

1. I can’t swim.
2. I set my alarm for one hour before I have to get up. That allows me to hit snooze eight times before having to get out of bed.
3. I’m not particularly fond of babies. I like children who are old enough to walk, talk, and use the toilet.
4. Whenever I eat a baked potato, I have an overwhelming urge to pour pancake syrup on it.
5. I put a smiley face sticker on the calendar for each day I have sex.
6. I put a red dot on the calendar each month at the start of my period.
7. I take off every stitch of clothing when I get home from work, shopping, or anywhere else. If I’m home alone, there’s a 99% chance I’m naked. This is precisely why I don’t appreciate unannounced visits.
8. I rarely go to bed before 2 AM. In the rare event I get tired at some insanely early hour (like 10 or 11 PM), I will take a “nap” and then get back up at 1 or 2 AM.
9. When I’m with Brico, I actually enjoy going to bed at an early hour. And I don’t get back up - at least not until he starts snoring!
10. I refuse to touch messy foods such as ribs and chicken wings. In fact, I’ve always avoided those foods altogether, just because I don’t like getting them on my hands. This apparently goes back to my childhood. My mom says that when I was a toddler, I’d cry because I wanted chocolate. She’d give it to me, and then I’d cry because I didn’t want to touch it. She had to feed it to me because I didn’t want it melting on my hands!
11. I have never been kissed at midnight on New Year’s Eve.
12. With the exception of snakes, I love reptiles and amphibians. I especially love frogs and toads!
13. I have an unusual psychic ability. I am able to “see” through other people’s eyes at will. To date I’ve kept this a secret to all but a couple of people.
14. I have seen several ghosts in the past. One of them even talked to me.
15. Nearly all my boyfriends have been younger than me - in most cases by more than a few years. I’ve recently discovered, however, that I’m MUCH happier with an older man.
16. I have an incredible aptitude for mathematics - in particularly, algebra.
17. My occupation of choice would be a Medical Examiner.
18. I once worked in sales for a funeral home.
19. I once repaired hardwood floors on the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Network.
20. I love Oldies music, and I think that Sam Cooke is one of the greatest singers to ever live.
21. I was diagnosed with glaucoma at age 26.
22. If I am reading or studying, I have to do it in complete silence. Music distracts me - mainly because I can’t stop singing along.
23. I have my favorite poem, The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe, committed to memory. Every time I think of this poem, I remember The Simpsons Halloween special a few years ago. It was awesome!
24. I haven’t flown a kite in years, but I would love to. When I used to fly them, they seriously scared me!
