Weird Things About Me

1 - See previous post about my elbows. I still find this very strange. I sewed my shirts; but they'll probably tear again.

2 - I like way it feels to wash my face with icy cold water. Even if I have the option to wash with warm water, I choose cold. It makes me feel alive.

3 - When playing darts, I really like hitting in a certain order. If I hit a number out of order, I'm actually kind of mad. My order is: 20, 18, 19, 17, 15, 16, Bullseye.

4 - I'm better at soccer now than when I played competitively in college. This could be because:
A: I enjoy it more now.
B: I'm in better shape now.
C: I play with less skilled people now, making me "the good one".
D: all of the above.

5 - I am, as of recently, really optimistic about love. I know I'll wind up with the right guy, and sooner than later even.

6 - I chew on every pen that goes in my hand. It's a terrible habit and I wish I could quit.

I am in love love love with this band and this video. Enjoy:

I'll Elbow You.

There is something funky about my elbows. The majority of my fitted long sleeve cotton shirts wind up with holes in the elbows. This is almost always true for at least the left sleeve. Is my left elbow just ridiculously sharp? My elbow skin isn't rough, as you might be thinking. It's not that. This is frustrating. I like these shirts but I look like a bum walking around with my elbows sticking out of holes. Oi. I guess I should start patching them.

The point of this story is that my elbows are pretty powerful. I might start using them in other ways. So be careful not to piss me off.

Will You Marry Me?

From Wikipedia:

There is a tradition, said to go back to Saint Patrick and Brigid of Kildare in 5th century Ireland, but apparently not attested before the 19th century, whereby women may make marriage proposals only in leap years.

Supposedly (but disputed), in a 1288 law by Queen Margaret of Scotland (then age five and living in Norway), fines were levied if the proposal was refused by the man; compensation ranged from a kiss to £1 to a silk gown, in order to soften the blow. Because men felt that put them at too great a risk, the tradition was in some places tightened to restricting female proposals to the modern leap day, 29 February.

No Pants!

People who know me very well at all know that I don't particularly like wearing pants. I am usually seen pant-less at home, even around certain company. I just have no inhibition when it comes to legs. Having said that, you can understand why I love this video so much.

Dear Cute Swing Dance Guy,

Hi. It's me, Heather. We danced together a couple times last night at the Swing Dance. We also danced together a few weeks ago, the last time I went. You taught me how to fall into a dip. Dipping is hard, but it was easier with you. I think I know why, Cute Swing Dance Guy. It's because I like you. Do you like me? It kind of seemed like you do. If so, I'd like you to know, it's OK to ask me out. Please do ask me out. Not only will I say yes, I will be rather excited. So you have nothing to lose. Go for it; go for me. Then, Cute Swing Dance Guy, we can spend the whole evening, and maybe the whole rest of forever, dipping away.

Like,
Heather

198_ Song

While on the subject of family and videos, I found these little gems I'd like to share with you. My sister and I really liked singing when we were kids. We were horrible at it, but of course we didn't know that. My Dad liked to film us. In turn, there are several classic videos of us singing. Please enjoy.
