Getting to know each other. ....

I'm still writing under the assumption that this blog will go unnoticed by most people in the blogging world, but should someone come across it, I figure we might want to get to know each other a little bit. As much as I dislike cliches and everything to do with them, I've decided to do one of those "30 day topic challenges" just as a way to introduce myself to the world. Yay me.
 Day one:  A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself:

So much for the easy part. . . Sharing any part of myself is difficult in so many ways. I'm such a private person, and this blog is just the opposite of private.

 I always mismatch my socks. I have no idea why, but there's just something icky about wearing matching socks.

I'm a walking contradiction, everything I do or say is contradicted in the next minute by the next thing I say.... usually anyway.

Everyone has a vice, but I have many. My biggest one at the moment: Yarn. I crochet like a little old lady crocheting for her life. It's addictive and I pretty much only make baby hats, which is ridiculous because I don't have a baby, my youngest sibling is 13, all of my cousins are over the age of 4 or they're boys, and quite frankly, I don't make boy hats, and I know absolutely no one who has a baby girl.

Standing up in public is nervewracking, were I a smoker, I'd probably need an entire pack after doing anything in front of a crowd. This however is pretty much the whole reason I read at a poetry open mic every other thursday...... The power of peer pressure is strong to say the least....

Bandaids fix everything. Got a headache? Put a bandaid on it. If that doesn't work, take two advil and call me in the morning.

My headphones are practically glued to my ears, they're my way of blocking out the world without being overly rude.... and I like music too.

Octopuses are the cutest animals on the planet. No it's not octopi, its octopuses, don't ask me why, but it is.

I hate country music, but every wednesday, my friend and I go to a country swing dance in town. I go, not because I like the music, but rather because she's my friend....

I'm well past the age where Dora the Explorer shoes are cool, but it's hard to find shoes that look mature when you still wear children's shoes.

I love the rain, hate getting my socks wet, and my feet always have to be warm, but there's nothing like a good thunderstorm for some afternoon thinking.

Dark streets at night scare me. It freaks me out, I swear some creepy dude is going to jump out of the bushes and attack me or something.

I have a giant stuffed bunny that's pink and the size of a small child. It's name is Bunny and it goes with me everywhere. No I did not get it when I was little, I bought it just a couple weeks ago.

I have a pair of shoes that could kill someone if you hit them in the head... thats why they're sitting on a shelf right above my pillow right?

I only eat green M&M's if I have the choice

Lastly, I believe that scars are the body's way of marking where it has struggled and what it has overcome.
