I thought I should just let Jarom write this one because I know he probly knows them better than me because if you ask me I don't thinks they are quirks, I just think every one else is crazy for not thinking like I do when it comes to these things...
1. I hate having blankets bunched up on my feet! I only like to sleep with 2 blankets, the sheet and a second light blanket ( I am always hot at night), but Jarom is always cold, so he likes the comforter, well this creates a problem seeing how we share a bed and all...so I generally just double the comforter up on his side but then he is too hot, well eventually it is just kicked to the foot of the bed, but you better believe that I won't allow that blanket to be touching my 3/4 of the king sized bed or else!!! Seriously if that blanket is just slightly touching my leg or feet I freak out...I feel like my feet can't breath and I can't move or get comfy. So Jarom knows that before he can lay down he has to inspect the blankets and make sure that I can move around and not have any interference from that darn blanket!!
2. I hate when cupboard doors are left open. If I am in another room or the same room and I see a drawer or cupboard door open I have to get up and shut it that instant! It just drives me crazy...I feel like it is as if you left your zipper down on your pants or forgot to button up your shirt! I try to resist the urge when I am at someone else's house but I find the urge is just too strong. So please don't be offended if I am at your house and I start shutting things!
3. I do sign language when I am listening to someone talk or watching commercials. I don't know sign language very well, but I learned the alpha bet when I was a little girl...and it has just stuck with me. So sometimes I find my self signing what people are saying as they are talking to me. I do it with my hand down by my side so it's not that noticeable, but of course Jarom notices it and gives me a hard time for it.
4. I also like to fill my cheeks up with air. What? Weird I know, or is it? Maybe you are just weird for not doing it? Well, I have very stretchy cheek skin I guess, because I can make one heck of a monkey face, people have often told me that I should have probably taken up trumpet playing because of this. But I find that sometimes It just feels good to stretch out that skin. So if you see me driving down the street with a monkey face briefly I'm just stretching out my cheek skin...ok!
5. When I am writing my bills out or doing something that requires a great deal of focus, I have to have my feet raised off the ground. I know that I have done this since childhood, my thigh muscles would always be sore after coloring a picture, because the whole time my legs would be stuck straight out in the air. I have gotten a little better with age, I can just link my ankles and hold my feet up just as long as they don't touch the ground then that will do.
6. I am terrified of spiders! I was reading a friends blog and found that she too has the same phobia related quirk as me! I am always scanning the ground and carpet for spiders, I always swear that I saw some movement and I make Jarom go on a spider hunt, it doesn't matter if it is in middle of a movie, I make him turn on the lights and make sure I wasn't just seeing things (which I usually always am, I think 99.9% of the time I am.) If I grab a blanket to snuggle up in, I have to or I make Jarom shake it out before I will use it, I also always have to check my shoes before I put them on! Oh how I hate spiders! Aren't you itchy all over just thinking about them.
7. I also have sympathy pain for people. I tends to settle in my neck! I don't know why but if someone gets hurt or I see some sort of injury on TV. I find my self holding my neck and suddenly feeling pain in it.
I thinks I have probably embarrassed myself enough for now, even thought I'm sure I could think of 100 more things to add!!!
