The Absurdities of Hannah...

So my wonderful and delectable roommate Amanda Maurice, "tagged" me to write 5 obscure thing about myself. (not including the fact that I use the word "delectable" a lot more than the average person)

Here we go...!

1) I have always LOVED having my arm stroked/tickled. It is the most relaxing thing to me, and many people have been subject to being my arm stroker during my lifetime. Let's just say its one of the top criterias for my future husband... (and no Dylan, it is NOT the same thing as you stroking Jordan's thigh.)

2) My biggest phobia is flopping fish.......ahh even just writing it has made me all jittery. It's the freakiest and grocest thing to me, the thought of a fish jumping/falling out of the fish bowl and flopping around on the ground while suffocating. AHHHHHHHHHH SO DISGUSTING I have to stop writing about it now before I choke.

3) I pull my hair out. I have this wierd "condition" called Trichtillomania. It's slightly an obsessive compulsive thing, and when I am stressed or being intense, I pull my hair out from the roots. Consequently, my hair is a lot thinner than it used to be, but because it used to be super thick, its hard to tell, thankfully. (www.trich.org)

4) When I was a kid, I had an extremely overactive imagination, and I personified everything. My bike had a name (James) and a blanket over him night so he wouldn't get cold in the garage. One day my Mom had taken me to buy a new pair of shoes, and there was a thunderstorm that night, so I got out of bed, went and got the shoes, and tucked them into bed with me, so that they wouldn't get scared! I could go on....

5) I used to be TERRIFIED of Santa Claus. (again..the overactive imagination kicking in) I was so scared at the thought of a strange man coming into my room when I was sleeping, that I insisted on putting my stocking in the living room each Christmas eve. I would stay awake trembling with excitement and nerves each year, and my poor parents could never get to bed before 3am.

There you go, I'm sure there are many more, but this is probably scary enough as it is..

Ha ha! That is funny!! Santa Claus is most definitely a sinister character who cannot be trusted - possible neurotic/psychotic with strange obsession surrounding children.

I think you would appreciate the two Futurama episodes dealing with xmas. In Futurama, Santa Claus is an evil robot who lives on Pluto. On christmas eve he flies to earth on his rocket sleigh and shoots large presents like bicycles at children out of a cannon which injures or kills them.

As a result everyone boards up their windows and doors on christmas eve (Proffessor Farnsworth even has a blast door installed to block off the fireplace so Santa can't catch them through there)and huddles in terror in their living rooms praying for their lives.

A good friend of our family had that hair pulling out thing too and developed a bit of a bald spot. She would pull out the hair and admire the root. Do you admire the root? Anyways, maybe you could save all the hairs you pullout and make a wig just in case! (I bet everybody says that to you and you hate it...sorry).

I love how I can HEAR you as I read... I feel like we just had a lovely and entirely amusing little chat. :)
As it turns out, I share your intense love for the arm stroking. However, one thing beats it for me in terms of relaxation and comfort: back stroking. Nathan has accepted this as entirely neccessary for my emotional health and ability to function normally. Also, I think that your personifying everything is VERY cute. I don't think I ever named things, but I certainly felt a great deal of compassion for inanimate objects... I can fall into it even now, if I don't watch myself. I like to think that it suggests a great deal of unspent love and care residing deep in our hearts :)
love,
Ashley.
