1) I am absolutely repulsed by spit. Something about it makes me utterly nauseated, especially when I see it on the sidewalk. Once when I was a kid someone spit in my hair and I threw up.
2) I have a somewhat odd fascination with copier repairmen. I guess I just wonder how you get into that line of work. And they are usually such characters. We had a repair guy who came to my old office who looked exactly like a 1970’s Barry Manilow. He even had the Spandex pants with the wide waistband.
The current copier repair guy who comes to our office gets extremely excited and lights up like a child on Christmas morning when he talks about how the roller brushes disintegrated thus affecting toner distribution. I think I want to marry him.
3) The sound of a dog licking (its paw or any other area for that matter) makes my skin crawl. That “schlurp, schlurp” noise can wake me out of a dead sleep.
4) Ditto with the *dog throwing up* sound. H is amazed with my hearing ability at times.
5) I often listen to Delilah After Dark on the radio. On purpose. I have no further comment on this.
6) I almost always get constipated when I am away from home. It has been cause for some serious embarassment such as the time I went home for a weekend with my boyfriend in college. I *finally thought I could go* and my boyfriend's mother forgot to knock and walked right into the bathroom. Things were stopped-up for a very long time after that incident. This condition continued to cause problems for me when I got married (not to the boyfriend) to H and spent 3 weeks in Ireland. I thought I was going to die a slow, bloated death and H wondered just what the hell he was getting into. His entire village in the West of Ireland was offering me cures for my *problem*. It is always nice to be offered a drink in someone's home, but not when it is offered with a, "Well now, this glass o'hot whiskey ought ta get the pipes a'movin. Do they have this problem a lot in America?"
Wow, you probably feel like you know me a bit better now, don't you...

I don't know why I find it so amusing that you're fascinated by copier repairmen! My friend is one. I think he probably just gets the fixing done and leaves, however -- without the Barry Manilow costume. And, yes, the sound of licking makes my skin crawl too. Yick!! Thanks for obliging!
well honey, I was tagged twice! You'd think that would make my entries more exciting, but noooo. I'm in a blogging funk I guess! Any idea how to get out of it? I ask because you're the expert on getting things. Um. moooving!
