I have to wash them immediately after I eat + I gag uncontrollably on dental x-rays + I'm horrible with directions - you have to reduce them down to 'left' and 'right' instead of 'west' and 'east' + Soaking my feet in hot water. Ahhh... + Green Bay Packers + Reading the "Missed Connections" in the personal ads (desperate, but strangely romantic) + Documentaries + I talked so much in school that I had to bring a note home from 3rd grade each Friday that said whether or not I could watch 'CHiPs' (Side Note: I was "Ponch" for Halloween that year) + Butterflies in my stomach + Sharp insults, sharper comebacks + I've been to more countries than States + I hate pie crust + Smoking ribs (in a smoker, not a bong) + I prefer dark meat (turkey, not dicks) + 80's metal hair bands + Petting zoos are disgusting + Chamomile tea on a cold night + I avoid chain restaurants to seek out the unique treasures + I can barely write in cursive - I stopped in 5th grade and it shows (people think I write like a doctor) + Flirting with my girl from across the room + I read magazines from back to front + I sleep on top of the covers with my own blanket + Being immersed a good book + I barely graduated high school but I graduated Cum Laude from college. + My favorite season is Fall + Sitting outside by the patio fireplace + Limoncello + Old school video games (Pac Man, Frogger, Joust, Defender, etc) + I've never seen an episode of Star Trek, but I'm a big nerd + Sarcasm + Tailgating at sporting events + People watching + My left thumb is double-jointed + I let the water run when I brush my teeth + I'm afraid of snakes, clowns, and drag queens + I go to bed wearing socks, but kick them off during the night.
