More about me..

So I had fun last time writing stuff about me so here are some more of my little quirks

So far I have exactly 3 phobias/things that freak me out

1. Planes and bridges- I put them together even though I know they are 2 separate types of phobias. I really don't like either. I've been known to hyperventilate and totally freak out.. Thankfully they make nice little pills for plane rides :)
2. Being pointed at.. yes this is weird.. I know. BUT I've never been able to handle it. Especially if you have something in your hand while pointing at me. For instance, little kids with toy guns.. I really don't like this.. freaks me out!
3. Having water on my face.. this too, is weird.. but I don't like water dripping on my face. I don't get my face wet in the shower and if it does, I have to have a towel nearby. I've never understood the commercials where the women splash their face with water.. seems like torture

I love the Gaithers!! I was raised on the Gaither Homecoming videos.. I love the oldies like Vestal Goodman, Jake Hess, Michael English, etc.. Some of the best music I know! Also love some Steven Curtis Chapman, Avalon, Point of Grace, etc.

In middle school, a group of girls and I were obsessed with the Spice Girls. We would dress up like them and hold "concerts" at recess. I even died my hair blonde and wore it in pigtails and ate a lot of lollipops because I was Baby Spice.

In Junior High/High School, me and two of my best friends made another group.. we could never figure out a name.. and we would sing at our different churches and local events.. we were actually good.

I don't like surprises.. if I know a surprise is coming, I can't stand it. For instance, when I'm watching a show I like to look up the episode guide to see how the season goes. I don't like not knowing what's going to happen.

I have the tendency to be very childish. When I get my feelings hurt I can say some really hurtful things. It usually stems from jealousy.. feeling abandoned in some way. I feel the Lord has shown me this so I can realize the effect it has on people and help me overcome it.

A trait that I've always wanted but have lacked is compassion. I've always had difficulty feeling sorry for people.. my thought was always "someone has it worse".. I've been praying about this for a while and thankfully God is beginning to develop compassion within me.

I am a vegetarian. I'm so used to it that I forget about it being "different". I believe I was 13 or 14 when I could finally get away with not eating meat.. before then I was told I had to finish everything on my plate. I have never liked meat.

However, if they made a candle that smelled like meat, I would buy it.. Seasoned meat smells really good..

There is no definite #1 reason for my being a vegetarian. It would have to be tied with my dislike for the taste of meat and compassion for animals (yes, compassion). I've never enjoyed the taste of meat, but I did get used to it after a while. But I was always opposed to eating deer meat (Bambi) and my mamaw tricked me by making a hamburger out of it (it was gross).. when she told me, I went home and cried myself to sleep while making the decision I would never eat meat again.. I showed them!!

In conclusion on my vegetarian choice.. I realize God created certain animals to be enjoyed as food.. but he didn't say that everyone had to eat it.. I decide not to.
