#1 I'm obsessed with calendars and checklists. I can't live without them. I always like to have them with me and I check them several times a day. I get satisfaction out of crossing the days off my calendar and checking things off my lists. Also, I have a calendar in my head that doesn't look like the regular calendar (below). It's a circle that covers the entire year. It's hard to explain but I can see holidays, seasons, people's birthdays, etc. in my head throughout the circle. It pretty much rocks.
#2 I can't go more than a few days without working out. It has to be at least 30 minutes of exercise. And if I don't get my work-out in, I have all this pent up energy and I run around acting crazy (ask Alan) and I get headaches.
#3
I pick out spelling or grammar errors in books, advertisements, and other stuff. The errors annoy me so much and I want to fix them so bad that I get very distracted from whatever it was that I was reading and I start wondering about how it could be that they missed that error. I grew up reading A LOT and I used to be an English/ Essay Writing tutor so I guess that's where that comes from. (But that's not to say that I'm perfect at spelling or grammar so don't look too closely!) Also, if I can't remember someone's name, I will get it 9 times out of 10 by going through the alphabet from A to Z. Somehow my brain stores the letters of people's names and just thinking about the first letter of their name will usually trigger my memory.
#4 A pet peeve I have is guys with long hair. I just want to cut it SO bad that I can't stand it! Tons of surfer guys at BYU-Hawaii had long hair and it would annoy me so much during class that I couldn't focus. It's just wrong! Even for Brad!
Much Better --------->
#5 I know all of the songs to musicals like "Annie," "The Sound of Music," and many Disney movies. I can sing along with pretty much any radio station. It's almost as if I can't stop myself from singing along if I know the words. Weird, huh? So I'm sorry if I've ever annoyed you!
#6 I can't fall asleep if anyone is touching me. Even one toe! But it works out because Alan is the same way! I also can't fall asleep if there is any kind of noise. It doesn't really matter how tired I am either. It's rather annoying actually. I also lay on my right side for a few minutes and then when I'm ready to fall asleep I switch to my left side. 
There are other quirks that Alan wanted me to add but they are too embarassing. But come on--am I really the only one who likes to peel the dead skin off sunburns? I don't know why but I get satisfaction out of it. And doesn't anyone else still like Milli Vanilli? So if you didn't think I was weird already, now you KNOW I am. :) If you're reading this, I tag YOU!

ANyway so I thought you were pretty cool, but after these quirks, I don't know it we can be blogging buddies anymore...JK!!!
