If you really really knew me, you would know...
...I grew up on Ramen Noodles. And Macaroni and Cheese. In fact, when Jake asked my dad if he could marry me, Dad's response was, "I hope you like Ramen!". Truth be told, I still indulge in the noodle goodness at least once a week.
...I have a BIG aversion to music in the car. I just can't stand it. Okay, okay. I admit. I actually blare it when I am in the car alone [don't tell Jake]. But as soon as there is someone with me in the car, the volume goes to zero. Don't ask, really. You don't want to know.
...hugging makes me extremely uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, I love to hug my husband. Just love it. But anyone else? Nope. Don't even try. Well, okay...if you try, I will hug you back. But only out of my need to please. Story time! Jake has this friend. And he likes to hug. A lot. It took him about three different hugs to realize I am definitely an awkward hugger. So now every time I see him, he comments on how awkward I am. And then follows up his statement with an "over the top" hug just because he knows it makes me cringe.
...I am a girl of repetition. I have watched the entire series of "Friends" at least 70 times [really...I kid not. In fact, it is on every night before I go to sleep]. I reread my favorite books over and over and over again [I threw in the third "over" to really make my point clear]. I would rather re-watch a movie than watch one for the first time. I prefer to go to a restaurant I have been to several times than step foot in a place I have never tried.
...I have the worst memory EVER. Seriously. My childhood is a complete blur to me. I hardly remember a thing. Geesh, I even have a hard time remembering what happened last week, let alone what happend in Kindergarten.
...movies/tv/novels make me extremely uncomfortable at times. I cringe at the characters' embarrassing moments. Sometimes I even have to fast forward through awkward on-screen moments for my own sanity.
...I sleep with a humidifier on every night. Nope, not because I like filtered air. In fact, I don't even put water in it. It is on purely for the noise. Ahh...I just love it. Jake, you ask? Not so much. Oh, the things he puts up with for love [or something like that].
...I get extremely overwhelmed in big groups of people. It makes me uncomfortable. It makes me shy. It makes me want to find a quiet place and just curl up in a little ball. But, put us one-on-one and I will be your best friend and tell you my deepest, darkest secrets. Okay...that may be a little extreme, but you get the point.
