Quirk #1
Eating on Trays

I cannot eat on a food tray. It makes my eating area seem cluttered and makes me feel claustrophobic. Don't ask me why. This also applies to others near me eating on trays. I've had to learn throughout the years to control the urge to just grab their trays. Now I try to politely ask if I can remove it for them. If they decline, I just have to deal with it.

Quirk #2
Plaque on my Teeth
Ugh! This totally grosses me out. I cannot handle it. I got in a bad habit in my late teens of scratching it off my teeth, which I realize is just as gross as having it in the first place...but I cannot stand the feeling. I've been trying to break that habit by making sure I always have a toothbrush handy. I'm much better now than I was. But if you catch me picking at my teeth, don't be surprised.

Quirk #3
A Car Behind me for too Long
I'm not naturally a paranoid person. But if I notice a car behind me that has been taking all the same turns as me for too long, I start squirming. My imagination goes wild. More than a few times, I've wandered through the neighborhood till I was sure they weren't "following me" anymore before pulling into my driveway.

Quirk #4
Spongebob Squarepants
I've gotten into a bad habit of not being able to fall asleep without Spongebob on. I really need to break this one. It may help me fall asleep, but I'm sure it doesn't help with my current sleep deprivation. I'm sure that the little goober is going to come out knowing the theme song. Seriously.

Quirk #5
The Smell of Spit
The smell of spit is completely nauseating. Just thinking about it makes me sick. This was a pre-pregnancy problem too, so that's not it. I have my lovely brothers to blame for this quirk. One in particular. Don't ask...

Quirk #6
Candle Smoke

Candles smell so good, until you go to blow them out. Then all I can smell is smoke. Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the candle? You can put the lid on and let it die out, but then you have this nasty looking candle. I have to blow them out outside.

Tell me that you still love me....

So putting out a candle by spitting on it would gross you out? Wuss.

I always buy candles in glass jars so I can just put the top on it and not have to smell the smoke :)

I love that you included the tray fetish and it's funny how friends pick up on these traits.

I simply had to help you collect the trays from everyone (even though I giggled.) I knew the alternative would nearly destroy you. So yes, I'd say that means we still love you and want to keep you around.

I swear I never noticed the candle smoke ruined the burning fragrance until you mentioned. I still love candles but now take them outside to blow out.

I hate smoke on candles too. I have one of those hot plate candle warmers that melts the candle instead of burning it. So you get the awesome smell without the smoke at the end.

Haha...I love it. How are you? I thought of Kelsy when you mentioned bringing a toothbrush with you wherever you go. She was brushing her teeth every second (it seems like) at Wasatch Back. I love the smell of candle smoke. Im just wierd that way.
