2) I hate with a PASSION the sound of ticking wall clocks when I’m trying to sleep. My hearing is really really good, so I am even able to hear our bathroom wall clock ticking away in our bedroom if the bathroom door is not closed. *shivers* I hate that ticking sound.

3) I prefer my carbonated beverages to be room temperature. Yes, I’ll drink a cold can of pop, but it feels too cold and hurts my teeth and tastes really strong. I also really hate drinking a carbonated beverage in a glass at a restaurant. Just give me the actual can baby cakes!

4) When my nose is super runny and blowing it constantly will not help…I ram a bunch of toliet paper or kleenex up my nose and walk around looking like a walrus. I got this skill from my lovely father. My husband has gotten used to me looking like this, so it’s all cool babies.

5) Growing up my family never slept with loose bed sheets. We just had the fitted sheets and our blanket. My husband is one of those people that sleeps with his loose sheet tightly tucked in so that he can’t even move one muscle. Oh my gosh, ugh I would die. Loose sheets seem like such a waste of money to me, why not just wash your actual blanket or comforter more often? I bought this super soft blanket for a reason…I don’t think I should have to feel the rough and thin sheets against my body! My husband sleeps with his side of the sheets completely tight and I sleep with the sheets all pulled out or I don’t even use the sheets at all.

6) To continue on the bedroom situation…we also use two separate blankets because I really love this ’silky’ blanket I had since I was a younger teenager and my husband finds it to be gross and icky. So he wraps himself in our fancy comforter while I am smiling with my old blanket from the 19 dicketies. He’s SUCH a blanket/bed hog to begin with, so it all works out for us in the end…that’s what she said.

7) I can not raise one eyebrow or wiggle my ears. I can cross one eye while keeping the other eye completely straight. Have me do it one day for you, you’ll be really creeped out, ha.

Thanks for the lesson in how to use a dictionary, but you will note I used the term “stalker-creepy”. This is a compound adjective, which is different from a noun. It’s saying you are creepy in the way that a stalker is creepy. You get all defensive about being associated with the term stalker, which to me says you are slightly creeped out by your own behavior, and are trying to justify it.

So let me ask you this: wouldn’t it be much less stalker-creepy to either:

a) Decide you want to post anonymously, and then DON’T leave little clues alluding to the fact that you used to date blog writer and still think about her even though you’re married.

b) Decide that you actually are past your past and post without hiding your identity. Maybe saying something along the lines of: “You know, Sarah, I know our relationship ended badly, but I still think fondly of you and respect your writing, and that’s why I enjoy following your blog. Hope you don’t mind that I read along.” No more cloak-and-dagger.

c) Check in every now and then, (who doesn’t look in on their exes every now and then?) but seriously focus that obsessive energy into your wife.

Think about it.

As for your list, since I am the exact opposite of Mormon, #3 could be something else. I always drink my coffee cold (iced that is) even when its freezing cold. I get a lot of weird looks in the winter. I just have never liked hot drinks of any kind, not even hot chocolate.

As for #5, for some weird reason some girls (i.e. Sarah) don’t want to let guys know they like to read, especially when what they like to read these said guys have probably never heard of and most likely wouldn’t understand why all the books are different prints of Catcher in the Rye.

And thanks for making up Stray.

It’s there. It’s public. It’s advertised. Any other person, give the cirumstances, would also read as much as possible. Hardly qualifies as the definition from Merriam Webster’s law dictionary as ” the act or crime of willfully and repeatedly following or harassing another person in circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to fear injury or death esp. because of express or implied threats;”

Nope, not stalking. Just reading what’s there and adverstised.
