Things I'll only admit to in a blog

There are some things I’ll never tell another person face to face, except my sweetheart. However I don’t mind sharing them with the world right here!

  1. I’m not as geeky as I make myself out to be. The other day I was talking on the phone with a tech support guy who works for our office. We were talking about what a pain it was to have to close the browser and log in again in order to work as a different user. At one point he said, “I hate IE, just change the DOM!” and started laughing. I had no idea what he was talking about, but chuckled anyway. Then he said, “Finally, someone who understands what I’m talking about!” Not really. More fake chuckling on my part.
  2. Sometimes, in the privacy of my own bathroom stall, I’ll excavate in one nostril to remove that one nose goblin that’s been bugging me all damn day.
  3. My mom bought my clothes for me all the way through college. She chose most of it because she found it on sale. I was too stingy to care.
  4. I hate to get my hands wet or dirty. I don’t mind doing dishes as long as I have gloves on. I think it’s a slight OCD thing.
  5. I’ve become a bit of a health nut as far as food ingredients is concerned (trans fats are evil), but if the label is missing and I’m unsure about something, I’ll eat it anyway. Especially if it’s sweet.
  6. I’m scared to death of speaking in front of crowds, yet I enjoy being the center of attention in a group.
  7. If I have, uh, some #2 to take care of, but on the way to the restroom I see one of my coworkers go in ahead of me, I will just keep on walking as if I intended it. I will dawdle for about 20 seconds before heading back in hopes of having the restroom to myself. Even if that person is still there, at least she won’t know who’s dropping the bombs. I don’t mind so much in public restrooms with strangers, but I refuse to run the chance of a coworker thinking, “There goes that stinker… what on earth did she eat?"
  8. All throughout my junior high years I was embarrassed by my best friend because she was very nerdy. I never realized until high school that I was nerdy too. And it wasn’t until near graduation that I was finally proud of it.
  9. I have gotten four of those stupid red light camera tickets. I was successfully able to lie my way out of three of them.
  10. At the office I will drink out of my adult sippy cup (mentioned here) for weeks without rinsing it out. It isn’t until I notice algae growing at the bottom that I will go scrub it out. The scrubber is green when I’m done. My water tastes a tiny bit better afterwards… less like a pond.
