5 Weird Things Tag

I was tagged by Liz (www.bepresentbehere.blogspot.com) to write 5 weird things about me. I've seen it on most of my other favorite blogs and felt deeply inclined to participate. Here goes;

1. I am afraid of getting poked in the eye by other people's umbrellas. I'm not sure where this fear derives from, but I've had it for as long as I can remember. Because of this, I never use umbrellas and I try to avoid crowds on rainy days.

2. I love to be barefoot all the time. Not just on soft surfaces like grass and sand, but on dirty sidewalks. I always slip my shoes off when no one's watching, even if it's painful to walk. Sometimes I like it better when it's painful.

3. When I was younger, I would cut celebrities pictures out of magazines and make collages in a big scrapbook. They didn't even need to be celebrities I liked. Anyone would do. A few years later, I ripped out all of the pages and used them as wallpaper for my room. When I was sixteen, I decided it was lame and threw them all away. I miss them sometimes, and am always tempted to rip out pages every time I read a magazine.

5. I got my tongue pierced a year before I pierced my ears. Even when I went to get my ears pierced, I decided on a whim to do my nose as well. I can't actually remember any of it and I often forget they're even there.

4. I partied more at age 14 than I do at 20. We used to sneak liquor from our parents, get dropped off at WaWa and go walk what felt like miles to go drink in the woods. It often took all of our cunning capabilities to pull this off. Now that alcohol is readily available, I find I want it less. I miss the adventure.
