I had a LOOOOOOOONG week, despite it being only a four-day workweek. But anyway. I'm now sitting on my couch, in my PJs, feeling happier than I can explain to be chilling out. So in the interest of remaining chill, I'm nabbing a meme from Karl -- Six Quirky Things...
1. When people type "lol" or something similar (i.e., rofl, lmao) it makes me want to scream. Loudly. And not with pleasure.
2. I'm not scared of hospitals...but going to the doctor for a physical? Freaks the hell out of me. (I'm naked under the paper gown, they're all clothed and poking at me...it's just creepy)
3. I actually enjoy plucking my eyebrows, and don't trust waxers or threaders to do it without screwing up.
4. I find it nearly impossible to look in the mirror without tilting my head. I have no idea why.
5. I think eyelash curlers are terrifying and refuse to use them.
6. When I lived in San Francisco, I used to order sushi from the same place a lot. Sometimes, even when nobody was home, I'd yell, "don't worry -- I'll get your food" because I felt like the delivery men thought I ordered food from them too much.
1. I am suddenly scrolling back mentally through ever conversation we've ever had to make sure I've never LOL'd you. I'm pretty sure I have and yet, you still talk to me. I will try not to do this to you ever again.
2. Plus, the gown is so uncomfortable, not to mention unflattering.
3. I like to pluck too. And I am afraid of "threaders."
4. That's kind of cute. ;)
5. They are scary. Not everyone needs them.
6. That reminds me of Sandra Bullock in Two Weeks Notice. She'd always order Chinese food from the same place and then have to say, "for one" which depressed her. A person can eat a LOT of sushi. That's just how it should be (in my world).
Why the hell doesn't a sushi place deliver here!?

After reading your comment about plucking your eyebrows, I immediately thought of those creepy eyelash curlers. Those are like medieval torture devices.

Hmm, guess I'll have to watch myself more closely. I don't *think* I do the LOL thing, but I just might. Eyelash curlers? Yeah, it's good to be a man. We don't need such stuff.

You SOL at LOL?? Now that's clever!

i feel for you on the ordering from the same place thing. before i moved too far for them to deliver (curses!), i used to order from the same mexican place all the time. and a lot of food since i honestly have a fat little mexican woman trapped inside of me. so i started ordering two sodas so they'd think i wasn't the only one eating. and once or twice i pulled the "hey do you have another dollar? (to the empty apartment out of view)...oh wait nevermind i got one here..." routine while the delivery guy was at the door!
