I've caught the confession bug. And I can't fall asleep. But regardless, I'm going to share ten of my most awkward/funny/unique quirks about me (:
1. When I was little, I used to put myself to sleep by sucking on my left thumb and twirling my hair around my right index finger. This left me with slightly bucked teeth that actually work on my face, and a habit that's stuck around forever. Not the thumb sucking, which actually continued until I was six. But I'll be sitting in one of my many classes, and find myself twirling my hair. It comforts me (:
2. I have weird ways of eating certain things. Like a Twix, I'll eat the edges, then scrape the caramel off with my teeth, and eat the cookie part by itself. I peel my hot dog skin off and eat it seperate, and I peel anything that I can before I eat it. I don't know what made me start doing it, I just remember doing it for as long as I can think back.
3. I've had 12 piercings in my 16 years. These began when I was thirteen and got my belly button pierced. Don't worry, I was three days away from my fourteenth birthday and have never had problems with it. Four of those piercings were regular lobe piercings and then my second set of those. Two were cartiladge, one being a helix and the other a tragus. My nose, monroe, and right labret were also pierced at one point. Smiley/Frowney were both pierced as well. The only piercing I still have in today is my belly button.
4. I love wrestling. Not WWE and the fake, staged shows on TV. But the sport. You know, like the wrestling team at school? My brother wrestled the entire time I was growing up, and I guess being around it so much made me love it. Now I'm a wrestlerette at my school (not a cheerleader for wrestling. more like a manager) and I get so excited when I think about the upcoming wrestling season.
5. I love my photography hobby/future career, but sometimes I get incredibly frustrated with it. Some days, my pictures just don't turn out how I want them to, and I just want to throw my camera. But I don't. Mainly because it cost me eight hundred dollars. I know I need to learn to be patient, but I don't think thats coming anytime soon.
6. I'm the 2012 Class President at my high school. This requires me to organize fundraisers, t-shirt sales, and float building for homecoming. I also help decorate and brainstorm for dances and such. So far, I love it (:
7. I have this thing that all my friends call my "shiver disease." It's not a disease, but I'm chronically cold. Therefore, I shiver alot. Sometimes violently. I'm not going to lie, it's hilarious. I had my phone in my hand the other day, and it literally flew across the room when I shivered.
8. I secretly want to be a cosmetologist/photographer. Everyone tells me I'm too smart to do something like that, but I'm so scared that I'll get myself trapped in a career where I'll just blend in all the time, and end up losing my sense of individuality.
9. I don't dress to impress unless I feel it's necessary. For school, you'll find me in comfy jeans, sweatshirts, and t-shirts. On certain days, I'll wake up early enough to dress slightly cute, but it's a rare occasion. I love to dress up for dances or fancy dinners, but I don't obsess about clothing. I like to be comfortable.
10. My hair is incredibly thin. Like, take five pencils, and hold them in your fist. that's about how big my ponytail around. I think that my four year old niece's hair is thicker than mine. It makes me sad ): People who sell hair thickeners advertise towards people like me!
Of course, these are only the top ten things that are on my mind at this exact moment. I'm sure you'll see more of my odd quirks peeking out through my posts, but you'll have to watch carefully (:
