Idiosyncracies...

Since Paige tagged me on her blog, it is my turn to do this!

An idiosyncrasy can be defined as: A structural or behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group.

Here are 5 idiosyncrasies that I possess:

1--Like Paige, I always hit the snooze button 2-3 times in the morning.

Even worse, I actually set my alarm to go off earlier than I need to get up so that I CAN hit the snooze button. :) My roommate just laughs at me regarding this one.

2--I cannot sleep if my closet doors are open.

I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive about some things, and that's one of the weird things that I just cannot deal with. Sleep is often difficult if there is noise or light as well.

3--I love when things are symmetrical and/or parallel.

I cannot handle it when picture frames are uneven or not parallel--even in other people's houses! And, I love symmetry. My dream house is the colonial style, completely symmetrical.

4--I have a very musical ear (nearly perfect pitch), and absolutely cannot handle it when things are out of tune.

This is both a blessing and a curse. It has enabled me to play the French Horn--which is not the easiest instrument to play...however, it has greatly diminished my enjoyment of music, for I am constantly analyzing everything and grimacing when things are off pitch.

5--I am a hopeless romantic.

Right now, I'm watching "The Notebook" and I've seen it probably 10 times already...I love chick flicks, and often force myself to "fast" from them in order to keep my eyes on the Lord has His plan for my life. However, these movies help me to remember that "someday my prince will come" and I will have my own romance. I LOVE taking care of people, and creating memorable occasions for people--and I can't wait to have a husband to take care of! ALL in God's time.

I know that there are MANY more idiosyncracies within me, but these are the only ones that came to mind.
