Get Your Freak On (tag)

I had seen this tag going around on YouTube a while ago but then I had forgotten about it.  After reading Johanna Perez's recent blog post on the tag, I got inspired to do it myself.  (:

(if you don't already follow her blog, you should!  It's definitely worth checking out!!)

I tag anyone reading this! (:

Now, on to the tag!!

1. What's a nickname only your family calls you?

My mom used to call me "sunshine" all the time when I was little, but that's started to catch on at my work now - so I really don't have a nickname that only my family calls me.

2. What's a weird habit of yours?

I don't think I have any 'weird' habits... but maybe that's because I've been doing them for so long that they seem normal to me?  Haha.

3. Do you have any weird phobias?

I am terrified of the little suction cup things on octopi and starfish.  I don't know what it is, but the way they move around all in unison completely freaks me out!!!

4. What's a song you secretly LOVE to blast and belt out when you're alone?

Oh gosh.  There isn't any song that I secretly love to blast - I have no shame when it comes to music and if I'm loving a song, I will blast it in my car/at home/wherever.  (;

5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?

I have a few really big pet peeves, but I think the one that bothers me the most is when people are so fickle-hearted. It drives me insane when people are telling someone they love them after they've only known them for a month-- you can't possibly even know them after a month!!

6. What's one of your nervous habits?

When I'm nervous, I become even more fidgety than usual.  I usually have a hard time sitting completely still, but if I'm nervous, it gets waaaay worse.  Hehe.

7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?

I sleep on the side closest to the wall.  I remember telling my boyfriend that it was 'the most comfortable place in the world'.  (I know, I'm odd.)

8. What was your first stuffed animal and its name?

I can't remember my first stuffed animal or it's name, but I do remember my first/favorite/only Barbie doll that ever mattered to me. She went to the pool with me and everything, haha. I named her Amigo because I had just learned in school that 'amigo' meant 'friend' in Spanish.  (Too bad I didn't learn the feminine vs. masculine part, haha.)

Amigo looked really similar to this:

9. What's the drink you ALWAYS order at Starbucks?

Nothing, lol! I very rarely go to Starbucks. I had worked in a Seattle's Best cafe at one point so anything to do with fancy coffee drinks annoys me to some point. Haha.

10. What's the beauty rule you preach… but never ACTUALLY practice?

I really dislike it when people have the attitude of "do as I say, not as I do," so I try really hard to not 'preach' things I don't actually practice. (;

11. Which way do you face in the shower?

I face both ways, but the majority of my time in the shower is spent facing away from the water.

12. Do you have any 'weird' body 'skills'?

I can pop my right shoulder blade out of socket. It looks really weird - but it doesn't hurt and it goes right back in place.

13. What's your favorite 'comfort food'/food that’s 'bad' but you

love to eat it anyways?

Oh goodness... I've been munching on "pizza munchies" from the Health is Wealth brand lately. They're not too terribly bad for you, but they're definitely not good to eat all the time.

14. What's a phrase or exclamation you always say?

"Oh crap," or "what the eff?"

I've been trying not to curse as much, so I say "eff" instead of the actual word. It's still not the best, but it's better than the other option!

15. Time to sleep—what are you ACTUALLY wearing?

It honestly depends on the weather - if it's hot outside, I'll be wearing a tank top and shorts. But if it's cold outside, I'll be wearing pj pants and (at the very least a tshirt). But never socks, no matter what the weather! (;
