Tageroo

Tagged by my big sista. Please tell me how impressed you are that I: 1)completed the tag 2) completed it in the same day I was tagged. 6 random facts...here goes.

1.My dysphagia friends might get a little mad at me for admitting this, but I haven't aspirated yet!Every night after I brush my teeth I pop a piece of sugar free gum in my mouth because I hate waking up in the morning with a dry mouth. I started doing this 2 years ago while we were at the Russell's cabin. I had a horrible cough and snored like a troll (according to JP). I couldn't sleep because I was so nervous I was going to keep everyone up, so I popped a cough drop in my mouth and slept with it the whole night. I have slept with a piece of gum or a cough drop in my mouth ever since.
2.I am starting to like watching movies more than I ever have before, which is a huge step for me, but I still have a breaking point of about 40 minutes. After the 40minutes, I get extremely restless and fidgety. JP will then say, "Oh no, Critter's coming out." Sometimes, if I pay attention to a whole movie he will say, "Critter didn't even come out tonight!" Silly putty works pretty well to keep Critter tame(during school and meetings too), but my mind still races, and I have to ask JP what just happened in the movie even if I was "watching" it the whole time.
3. I think everyone already knows this about me, but I love colors and collections! They really make me happy. I look at my rows of colorful eyeshadows or line of colorful shoes on the shoe rack and just have to smile. I know it's kind of pathetic, but I can't help it. I pretty much love colorful anything... candy, decorations, clothes...you name it.
4. Before I do something I don't like to do, like turning off the shower, closing my eyes to go to sleep, or pushing myself a little harder while I'm exercising, I do a count down in my head. Sometimes I say 5,6,7,8 like in dance or if I really don't want to do it I count backwards from 10 and say da da da in between each number. I don't know where this came from.
5.This one is really weird. Prepare yourselves. I love to play with cold hands, even my own. My dad loves to play with cold noses and ears, so maybe it's another one of those crazy genetic traits. When my hands are cold I always interwine my fingers, clasp my hands together or squeeze my fingers with my opposite hand. Stay away from me when you have cold hands, especially if you are JP, a baby, or a little kid.
6.I HATE driving. I'm still kind of terrified of it and I've been driving for 8 years. I couldn't think of anything else, and, once again, it's time for bed :)
