Pet Peeves, Oddities, & Random Talents

Here's a little more insight to what goes on in my brain, makes me tick, or just makes me.. me.

Pet Peeves: not many but those that are there make me crazy!
- when people take food out of the microwave early, but don't clear it after.
- when people don't use their blinkers while driving.
- people who walk slow.

Oddities:
- I have to hold the case when I watch a movie.
- When I eat Tums, I only eat the yellow ones.
- I'm obsessed with drinking Powerade
- I love the show Lost Tapes and thoroughly believe in them.
- I totally believe in the Loch Ness Monster... Nessy!
- I sometimes I talk to inanimate objects.
- I love Twilight. (yes it's considered an oddity to most of my friends and the Seattle area)
- I love commercials! And when it's really funny, I can't stop laughing (Like when it's 11 at night and my roommate is trying to sleep... sorry Lisa!)
- I have a very weak stomach and any type of medical-like words or sights will gross me out! Sometimes to the point of passing out if it's bad enough...
- I refuse to ever use a port-a-potty
- I have a very sensitive nose, and sometimes randomly smell odd things (like Eggo waffles, steak on a BBQ, blue raspberry lollipops... you get the picture)

Random Talents:
- I can pretty much tell every song coming up in my iPod by the first note.
- I know all the words to "Ice, Ice Baby"...
- And the Harry Potter movies 1-4 at least, word for word.
- I play a mean nose whistle.
- I have a gift for memorizing birthdays.

This is all I can think of right now, however I'm sure there is more so I will add them when they come to mind... keep checking back!

Hello Tara!
I know you don't know me but Ally van Ingen suggested that I check out your blog. I read your blog on "major" decisions with great interest. That seems like an interesting field and I wish you a lot of luck at SU!

i thought of some more for your lists:

number 27: pulls out random movie quotes anytime and anywhere
number 28: has a penchant for losing bets against the nuggets
number 29: continually watches scary movies and television shows even though it will have disasterous effects at nightime
number 29: has an odd affinity for john denver

I may have to take this blog for a test drive. Any blog title based on an Elton John song has to be great!

"- people who walk slow." You must hate walking behind Ally.

" I have a gift for memorizing birthdays." My birthday is March 8th and I like receiving cash.

Thanks everyone for being so supportive in reading my blog! And thanks again to Ally for putting in that shoutout!

If any of you would like me to put you on my e-mailing list I would be happy to do that so you can get updates! Just send them to morenot@seattleu.edu

Many of these are the reasons people love you. And I totally agree, Nessy is real;)
