More Random

Here's some more weirdness you may not have known about me:

1. I collect toiletries. I've got something like three kinds of antiperspirant, two kinds of hair gel, four bags of cotton balls....I've always been like this and I don't know why. To make up for it, I bought more shampoo, shower gels, and face washes today.

2. I listen to music almost obscenely loudly when I drive. There's a noise ordinance in this town, and I'm amazed that I've not yet been ticketed. I also seem to turn it louder after I've cleaned my ears, and have spent more than one day pretending I could understand what another person was saying.

3. I find it difficult to get rid of things. I've got every love letter I've ever received, I keep just about every CD, and it pains me every time my answering machine fills up and I have to delete voice messages.

4. Related to #4: One of my phones has just everyone on caller ID. The one in my bedroom has only calls from my boy. And wow, I can't believe I told you that.

5. I have a favorite parking space at my complex, and it really bothers me when someone else takes it. It especially bothers me when the lady with the pro-life car tag parks there.

6. I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how to fill up my day. People, twenty-four hours is a lot of hours when you've really not got much to do. I wish I were more motivated; I'd clean this whole place from top to bottom or write a novel or something. But instead, I'm lazing about.

7. Even after over a year, it makes me heart skip a beat to see the boy's number on my caller ID.
