All About Haley

I was bored and doing some blog stalking and came across two of my friends 20 quirks. I started thinking about my quirks and figured I may as well join the club and blog about it.

1.Teeth Brushing
I love it. I do it after I eat, every time. I hate the feeling of food sitting on your teeth and who wants bad breath? No one. But, I cannot brush my teeth before I go to bed. I hate the taste in the morning and how it feels like you have cement pieces in your mouth. My husband will love me.
2. Foot tapping
If there is music on, I am tapping my foot or my finger or something. I never noticed this until I moved up to Logan and it kept getting pointed out to me. I'm sure Mike gets really annoyed by this since I'm usually tapping my finger on his hand.
3. Sleep Habits
I have to fall asleep on my left side with my left hand under my head and my right next to my face with my Princess blanket in between my hands. My pillows have to be in an L shape with one vertical against the wall which is the barrier and one horizontal that I lay on. My blanket has to be fluffed perfectly under my head giving me two pillows. Also, the door has to be shut. And I mean all the way shut. I subconsciously know that it's open and I wake up.

4. My Quiet Time.
This was never a problem until roommates but sometimes I like to just sit at home, not say anything, just relax and do my thing. When I'm doing this one of roommates, one in particular... loves to come and tell me all about their day and she just keeps going on an on. Honestly, it just makes me mad. I am having me time and don't want to talk at the moment.
5.Embarrassed.
I let it happen to me far too often and easily. If I ever feel slightly self conscious or someone points something out to me or talks about something I've done, I turn bright red. I'm an awkward person so it happens way too much. I immediately look away when this happens and my face goes more red and red until the subject is dropped. This also causes me to get really defensive.
See that shade of red... that is the beginning.

6. Mom-mode
I've grown up a babysitter. I always played "House" with Mal and my dolls then moved to babysittin my 3 brothers then to having that be my job. I'm constantly being a mom so I trained myself to react like that. If I have down time, I clean, I do the dishes, I sweep, who knows. But I clean up. Mike always makes sure to stop me so I don't always clean up my roommates messes.
7. Picky Eater.
Everyone knows this about me. I eat ten foods pretty much. I'm worried my kids will starve because I can't cook anything because I don't ever make anything different. Everyone always gives me crap about this. I think the funniest was when Mike's dad asked me if I liked red meat, I said yeah and he said like what and I just sat there and he says "Oh hell. Don't pretend like you like it. You don't" I guess no. Unless taco's count..
8. Kid Person
I am so much more comfortable with kids then I am with adults. I don't know how to keep up a conversation with adults. They make me feel inferior and I never feel like they want to hear what I have to say but don't know what to ask them. So I interact with kids better. Like ten fold better. I grew up as the babysitter, like I said, so I was always around kids and not their parents, obviously.
These are some of my favorite kiddies...

9. Crafting
I found out that I use crafts to relax. I probably got it from watching my mom paint all the time growing up. I was relaxed watching her paint her roses and patterns. However, this talent was not genetic.
10. Feelings
I am not one to talk about my feelings ever. I always work my way around it. I don't like to do it because I'm not good at it. I don't know how to express in words what I'm feeling. Mike constantly asks me how I feel about something and he has to ask about a million times before I actually give somewhat of an answer.
11. Chapstick addict
I have to have it. My lips need it. They get so dry if I don't use it. I did not train them very well through my lip gloss years. oh well.
12. Cryer
I went through a phase of my life when I didn't cry for a good 8 years. or longer. Then on my 16th birthday, that all changed. I bawled that night and it hasn't stopped since then. My sister is constantly giving me crap for it. Especially since coming to college and having real life problems it has gotten worse. I'm sensitive now.
** I was going to post a picture of my bawling after one of the final choir concerts but I'm way too embarrassed about how stupid I look. I apologize to all of those people I've cried in front of.
13. Daddy Long Legs
My legs are ridiculously long. Like way our of proportion. Jeans are impossible to find and I can never dry my jeans because they shrink too much. It's a little stressful but I wouldn't want short legs. That's for sure.
I didn't pee.. Mike spilled his drink on me.

14. Dancing.
I am so bad at it. And I know I am so I always feel so awkward at school dances and dance parties. I just panic. I apologize to my dance dates for being so boring. I was just tying to spare you. I am just too gangly and lurpy. I don't know how, not to mention I am so uncoordinated.
15.Directions
I have absolutely no sense of direction. Not one bit. Someone says "It's on the north side of the building" I panic and have no idea where they are talking about. It makes no sense in my head. I have to memorize how to get places. I memorize one way to get there and only one. It usually is the longest possible way too. This isn't just driving it's getting to class, friends houses, everything.
16. Weddings
I'm OBSESSED with them. It's a little sickening. Here's the problem though, I love them when I look at everyone else's but I cannot plan mine. I have no reason to right now but most girls have an idea. I got nothing.  It just has to be fabulous.
no words for how gorgeous this is


17. Asian Food
I HATE it. Oh my heck. It tastes so bad. I had an awful experience with my first taste test of it and had soup that literally tasted like cat food. I wanted to throw up. It was so crappy. So not every time I taste it, that is all I can taste. And Lettuce wraps? Disgusting. I don't know what you people are thinking. But! I love Fortune cookies. I love them. :)
18.Gum
I always have Extra Spearmint Gum. The lime green kind? Yeah. Always. I never get a different flavor. I love it. When I eat a piece, I immediately fold the wrapper back into it's original folds then fold one end into small rectangles until it's all folded into a small rectangle. I have these wrappers all over all of my bags.

19. Decoration
I can't deal with plain and boring. I grew up with color, color and color! I can't not decorate things. I need color and clutter really. A house is not supposed o be spotless. It's supposed o be a home and I want it to look like people live there and that they love life. Decorations do that.
20. Brace-Face
I never had braces. I am blessed to have straight teeth. However, I always wanted them! Everyone had them, it was like a fashion statement. everyone talked about what color their elastics would be next time and when they were coming off them what sticker/color their retainer would be. I got none of his. Once I shoved my sisters retainer in my mouth just to feel what it was like. Yeah. I was a freak. What's new? But I do wish I remembered some of my friends when they had them. Like Mike and Lynds. Good times.
