Jonathan of Step-Family Talk tagged me to write seven unusual facts about myself.  This is not difficult, because since I’ve known Bryan, I’ve had a multitude of odd things I do pointed out to me.  The hard part is narrowing it down to seven.

1. When I drink water, I swallow INCREDIBLY loudly.  It’s only when I’m drinking water.  I can chug tea, gatorade, tequila.. and nothing.  But give me some water, and it sounds like my epiglottal is broken.
2. I have a mole inside of my left eye.  I eventually learned this is common in extremely fair-skinned people, but it really freaked my eye doctor out.. which, in turn, freaked me out.
3. I don’t like my food to touch.  Therefore, Chinette divided plates are my favorite EVER. (This rule, however, does not apply to breakfast, where eggs and grits and bacon should most definitely do a dance in my mouth.)
4. I only eat one food at a time.  I don’t know when this started or why, but I just can’t take mixed bites of food.  I need to finish one item, cleanse my pallette, and begin again.
5. I twitch (MAJORLY) as I’m falling asleep.  Bryan says I fight him off of me, which is weird because I love to fall asleep on his chest.  But, apparently, I get fairly violent.
6. I worked in radio for three years.  I went by the names Diva, Madison, Sydney, and Trinity.  Yes, it was a lot of fun when I was 18, and yes I partially miss it from time to time.. but all in all, it was a phase.
7. In that same vein, I was on the air the day of 9/11.  I never thought this fact was extraordinary or even interesting until I mentioned it to someone in passing, and they asked me to dole out all of the details.  It was, perhaps, the only way I got through that day.
