That's right. I declare this blog #1. Would this win for most boring and unoriginal title in the world? Most likely. But I just hate titles. So get over it.
Anyway, I decided that my first blog should be a sort of intro about me. Not about where I go to school or work and what my horribly fascinating life is like, but just little tidbits about me that would probably make you think I'm a freak upon meeting me. I think these random things are crucial to "getting" me - in a really small-scale sort of way. Here we go:
1) I suffer from something called "Raynaud's Phenomenon." I like to say suffer, because it makes it sound so much more dramatic. What this means is I basically have the poorest blood circulation in the world. Since I live in Canada, the months between September to May consist of my toes and fingers spontaneously going numb and ice cold and WHITE. It's seriously freaky looking, it looks like I'm sporting the hands of a dead person. Anyway, a bit of a weird sight when you see it for the first time.
2)I have really loose tear ducts. I like to think that my tear ducts are hyperactive. And no I'm not just an emotional pansy, my eyes actually water at the oddest things. I cry when I laugh. I don't mean like I laughed my ass off for 8 minutes and squeezed one tear out. I mean I laugh for a minute and I need to wipe my whole face off.
3)I'm more afraid of insects than anyone you've ever met in your life. Especially spiders. If anyone ever tries to prank me involving insects, I will most likely never forgive them for it. I have literally shed tears at the sight of a spider before (re: loose tear ducts).
4)Even though I have pretty bad eyesight, I hate wearing my glasses and avoid doing so most of the time. This does cause some social issues. Like for example, if you're 3 feet away from me I may have no idea who you are. Then I have to dance between this pleasant smile that won't be creepy if I don't know you, but a not-too-fake smile in case I do know you and don't wanna look like a bitch. I'm sure many people have judged me on being a bitch/freak/social retard based on experiences stemming from this issue alone. Never mind the rest of my awkwardness.
5)I eat like an animal sometimes. It might alarm you if we're going for our first meal together. Especially if I'm hungry. I like to warn people ahead of time. I finish waaay quicker than anyone else and usually with a big mess all over my mouth, as well as in random places like my elbow or forehead.
Well I think that's sufficient for now. I'm sure you'll learn more of me as we go along. And of course you'll fall in love with the rare flower that I am. Or not, whatever. Alright I'm out for now.
bye!
