I've been tagged by Trina for weird facts about myself. Gee, that should be quite a list. Let's see what I can come up with.
1.) I have a huge fear of going blind. It's one of the worst things I can imagine. Hand in hand with that, I'm insanely scared of the dark. I panic when the electricity goes off at night and everything goes black. I have a mini-panic attack. So I try to keep a flashlight in close vicinity to the bed, so I can just switch it on.
2.) I love to tie knots in things, strings, thread, my hair whatever. I love to make a little knot bigger and bigger 'til it can't be tied anymore. I've had to pull pieces of hair out because of this.
3.) I love a bargain . . anytime, anywhere. I love garage sales, yard sales, flea markets, whatever. It's almost impossible for me to NOT stop at one when I pass by. Another person's junk is always my treasure!
4.) I'm neurotic about, how should I say this? , where I perform #2. This has actually been discussed on my blog before.
5.) I HATE Easter grass, anytime, anywhere. Hate, hate, hate it. I guess this isn't so weird, we probably all hate it!
6.) I love peeling layers of sunburned skin off of myself, and other people. I haven't done this often, what with all the attention to skin care and actually protecting yourself from the sun these days. But I remember doing this as a kid and having the best time.
Weird? Yes, I am.
I need to hear more weirdness. I'll tag Tara, my favorite Canadian, Dani, and my fellow Kenny lover, Chesneygirl.

Re #6 - have you seen Goldmember? That ought to cure the skin-peeling fascination. ;-)
bwhahahahah I LOVE LOVE LOVE to peel skin...i like when they don't protect themselves from the sun that means then I have something to do...hehehehehe
That green celephane Easter grass is gross. I got some great green paper grass and few years ago and I keep reusing it.
Can't stand that celephane stuff either!
Hey Renee,
I followed the bread crumbs over from Chesney Girl's blog. We seem to have a ton in common. I just wanted to say HI and I look forward to reading more.
Peeling sunburned skin? SO. MUCH. FUN.
Great list..too funny!!
Wowee...you tagged me, I feel loved! :)
I love to do #6 too...especially on other people, my husband in particular and he gets furious with me...it's funny!
Great list!!
hey renee! i promise this time i AM staying on the blogging track! i say this ALL the time... then it will be weeks in between post! hate that!
-thanks for taggging me, let me ponder my weirdness and i'll post later today! :) love your list, yeah the Easter grass buggs me too! -tara
Oh, yes, I am totally with you re: #6. I don't get a chance to do it anymore, and I suppose the fact that I used to do it a lot is a sign that I'll be developing skin cancer some day.
I hate Easter grass, too. Who invented that stuff? It is awful!
I'm with you on the bargains! I love Big Lots. And peeling sunburned skin...it's addictive! I've done that quite a few times to the hubby's shoulders.
I had a friend who liked peeling burnt skin and scabs. Ick! What's worse is that I let him peel a large scab off of my arm once and now I have a big scar.
Anyhoo, I do the tying knots thing too. On the belts to my bathrobes, straw papers, Easter grass...LOL!
I am peeler too...love to peel,pick or pop....my hubby has to lock the door when he is getting dressed or I start picking!!
As a fairhaired lad.... you know.... our peeling sunburnt skin IS NOT there for your pleasure.... just sayin'....
#4....lol... I went back up to your #2......lol.. sometimes I'm just slow.... ;-)
oh but you're not that weird.....
kinda cute, I think.
I played thursday thirteen for the first time this week...that's right I'm a virgin... so I cannot play weird unknown facts....
But I enjoyed yours.
Happy Thursday.
GAG me PEOPLE!? THE PEELING SKIN THING!?!?! lol gross. (My dh LOVES LOVES LOVES THIS activity the most... and it totally grosses me out.)
If you have to be weird... you're a cool weird.
Does that makes sense?? or it is just too early in the morning!?
I love peeling skin too - so I guess I'm a freak as well.
Agreed on the flashlight, but Faith moves it almost every night - GAH!!!
Sorry I am late Renee, havent been on much in the last few days. Loved the list, I can so relate to the EASTER grass, hate that stuff. I have never heard of the tying your hair in a knot though, that's funny.
I love these things because this is where I realize I'm not as weird as I think I am.
3, 4 (especially), 5, and 6 could be me.
Okay, #2 is pretty weird, but I wholeheartedly support #6! Luckily, I haven't done this much lately, either.
And cute Easter pic of your little guy! I love how he has his hand on the handle of his pail. He's not letting go of his treasure!
Ewwwww on #6. And yet....I understand.
Ack! First I fall behind on my reading, only to come back to see my name in lights. Hooray!
Then I type in a huge comment, whereby I tell you that you are not nearly as weird as you think you are, as we have three items in common and my husband shares a fourth - but I'm leaving in up to you to wonder which ones -- and blogger eats the comment. I'm now trying again... and I accept this meme gauntlet!!
(PS I'm ridiculously proud to be your favourite Canadian. You are my favourite Coon-Ass, even if I never heard of one before I met you!!)
