[/caption]1. I have a really weak stomach and lots of things make me gag: soggy bread, sick spewy people, eyeball goop, people chewing with their mouth open, people sharing toothbrushes. I say the word 'disgusting' a lot, because I find so many things in this world, well, disgusting.
2. Most people who have read my blog and then meet me, are surprised at how tall I am. It appears I blog like a short person. (No, I have no idea how I do that, but if you're reading and thought I was short maybe you could enlighten me.) In fact, I'm 5'8" and considered tall by most standards... except that of my family. Between my parents and three siblings, I'm the shortest. It's the greatest injustice in my life.
3. The scariest movie I've ever seen is Con Air. John Malkovich is one creepy guy, and after seeing him in that movie I wouldn't let Steve leave me alone in the house for weeks. Literally. For those who haven't seen it, this is not a horror movie, which might explain how easily I am spooked - and why I won't watch actual horror movies.
4. I'm struggling to think of things I haven't talked about here before, because my memory is really bad. I can read books ten times and still wonder what's about to happen. Same with movies, which drives Steve insane when we're hiring a DVD ("Oh, this movie looks good!" "We've seen it." "No we haven't!" etc. etc.). However, my bad memory means I write everything down because I can't trust myself to remember it, so when people accuse me of not remembering something because of my bad memory I have a fall-back. Confused? Yeah, me too.
5. I once sat in a group of people I didn't know and told them the story of when my husband died. I was laughing as I told it and then realised that they were all looking at me in horror. "No!" I explained, "He's alive now! He just died for a couple of minutes, and it was before I even knew him!" They just looked at me like I was an idiot. I don't tell that story very often anymore.
6. My thumbs are horrible. When I had my nails done for my wedding, I found out they don't even make fake nails wide enough to fit my revolting thumbs.
7. I talk in my sleep sometimes, and Steve tells me my favourite sleepy topic is toast. Which is weird in itself, but partly because I'm not a great fan of it. Maybe so much so that it gives me nightmares.
8. I don't like phones - or at least, not to talk on. Phone conversations freak me out, because I like to see someone's face when I talk to them. I feel awkward if I can't.
9. I'm a very decisive person usually, but not when it comes to shopping. I'm forever returning things and then going back to buy them again, or filling an online shopping cart and then closing the screen when I'm halfway through the checkout process.
10. When I'm nervous, I laugh. When I'm tired, I struggle to form sentences. When I'm hungry, I'll yell. When I'm sad, I want to hide away. When I'm asleep, I sleep through anything. When I'm content, I find a new challenge.
(Thanks to Jane and Clint for tagging me to do this post!)
this is awesome! Great blog for a Friday.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what's funny?.
I knew nearly all of these things about you and I still love you anyway! :D

Great post Megan. Very funny. Those glasses are massive. Everyone will notice them and think that 'They're massive sunglasses!' and that's why you should continue to wear them. I'm going to check out your thumbs next time we catch up. You really do blog like a short person - I was actually surprised to meet you and find out you're not a midget. Very cool top ten.

I luff you, that's all! Xxx
ReplyDeleteLaughing at your dead husband story - I get it, they clearly didn't. Boring people for sure.
ReplyDeleteI have glasses at least that big, because I'm very light sensitive.
ReplyDeleteI have an inability to watch horror movies because the last couple of big thrillers I watched kept me awake (Robert De Niro in Cape Fear scared the utter crap out of me for 2-3 nights- is he clinging to the underside of my bed like he did under Jessica Lange's car?) And Se7en (OMG- no sleep for a week).
But I do wonder if the toast you're talking about is the alcoholic kind? I'll drink to that :)
I knew you were tall because I saw you in Sydney last March, but even so, from your pictures on this blog, I could tell you were tall. Long bones...
ReplyDeleteI love Con Air! It's one of my favourite movies. The one horror movie that scared me silly was Chucky. That evil, evil, little doll!!.
I don't like phones either.
and people are surprised at how short I am.
ReplyDeleteI love your list.
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to find someone who is as indecisive as me when it comes to shopping.
I just don't have the guts to return things though.
I've also never understood how being scared is enjoyable. No horror movies here either, thanks.
:-)
I'd listen to your dead husband story. Some people have no sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteI am a short blogger... I wonder if people think I'm tall?
Ought the food chewing talking is the worst x
ReplyDeleteYou are totally short in my head! That is so odd.
ReplyDeleteI am easily disgusted, too. People spitting in the street - I mean, really? Revolting.
And you and my beloved would get on famously - if you could remember you'd met one another before! Brendon's memory? Drives. me. nutty.
Yes, I was one of those people surprised by your height! I think it's less blogging like a short person and more that on the computer you are used to seeing everyone at eye level in their avatar *lol*
ReplyDeleteI hate the phone too.
interesting fact. most people who read my blog and then meet me are surprised by how short I am to the extent they say oh my god your so freaking short! Apparently on my blog I appear taller.
ReplyDelete[...] might have picked up a quick purchase or two for myself as well – those infamous glasses and a new maxi [...]
