The Seven Things
- I’ve known at least six of my friends since age 11 or younger. I delude myself into thinking this is a sign of good character, so I’m secretly smug about it. It probably just means I’m static and boring.
- Growing up, I always saw myself having my first of four children at age 24. In my mind, I had two boys and two girls. I picked terrible names for them when I was about 13.
- I never feel like I quite fit in anywhere, with anyone. Hanging out with Bradley is probably the only exception to this.
- I have a real sensory integration problem with sounds. Tapping? OMG, I am going to stab you in the face with a pencil. A weird laugh across the hall from my office? I might throw myself out the fourth-floor window. Humming while you walk? I want to scream in your face and smack you with a hammer.
- When I first met Brad, I was so morbidly, violently, fatally shy that I would force myself to fall asleep when I was around him, so I wouldn’t have to feel so nervous.
- My environment is really central to my mood. Physical order is *really* important to me and, sadly, not something I’m able to enjoy much in a house with four children. When I allow myself to fantasize about life as an empty nester, a clean house is what I imagine 97% of the time.
- I absolutely abhor showing any kind of vulnerability. Ever.
The Love
I’m tagging:
- RainyDay at Chocolate on a Rainy Day because she’s just adorable. She has two cutie pie boys and just seems like someone I’d really like in real life.
- Christine at ColorMePink! because she makes yummy food and mothers well.
- Whimsy at The Creamery because I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE I DID NOT WIN THE PLAIN WHITE BOX.
- Shana at Gorillabuns because she’s a badass scarer of children.
- Jo at My Own Breed of Random because she’s totally right: I really really really want to touch that damn paint.
- Patrick at One Spartan because I’ve known him since I was 17, and he’s still one of the most creative people I’ve ever met.
- Sam at Sam’s Stories because she’s just a hot mess of clam. Also, she shares my enthusiasm for cloth diapering, and we’re both lactating.

Oh. *sniff* I love you too, man. *sniff* I am so touched. Thank you. I needed this. *sob*
WOW, I feel so special! *sings Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders*
Dude. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? To just respond to this today??? But thank you. Even though you didn’t win the PWB (you’ll try again, right?).
And now I HAVE to know what awful names you picked out for your four children when you were 13. I just have to know.
Seriously. What is WRONG with you?! No, I know how hard it is to keep up with your public.

and I don’t remember the last one
I guess they’re really not THAT bad. They just kinda sound like porn star names. But, I mean, really, if there’s anything I wish for my children, it’s a life of porn stardom.
