One strange thing about you that we'd never guess just by reading your blog: Umm..that I'm sexy? lol, wait thats not strange, that's just a fact. But this is a secret: Whenever I walk into a room, I turn on Nelly's "Hot in Here" song in my head and strut my stuff while thinkin "mmhmm work it Exotica!". Yeah it's just a stripper name I gave myself, lol...what? Every girl should have one! Ok no seriously I'm a really good dancer. You name it, I could do it. But I'd never audition So You Think You Can Dance for fear they'd knock me off my pedestal lol. Oh I got another one! I'm psychic, well not really psychic but I can tell when there's a sneeze coming on (for other ppl). Like I'll get a taste in my mouth (eww) like the aftertaste of your own sneeze and I can predict which Married w/ Children episode (reruns) is coming on (yes I know, anybody could just check the tv guide but I'd like to think I'm special). I dunno....forget it, I'm just weird.; ▶ Reply to This

One strange thing about you that we'd never guess just by reading your blog: I think I have social anxiety problems and I think it is due to my weight, or mostly due to my weight. I cannot talk to people face to face, but give me a monitor and a keyboard and I could write a book. I also hate talking on the phone, so much so, i will avoid a phone call and instead of returning with a call I will email the person back. To me that is strange and I'm not sure how I got that way.
