Meme: 6 Weird Things About Me

Okay, since I continue to labor over my yet-to-be finished streak of worthwhile posts in draft, I give you this meme: 6 Weird Things About Me, brought to you compliments of Katrina at Callapidder Days! The funny thing about reading this meme is realizing everyone has their hangups. It's fun to see what everyone has to say about themselves.

1. I don't like to make decisions, especially on mundane things like where to eat. Really, I don't. If we're going out to dinner, I will tell you what I absolutely don't like, and that's not saying much. I don't know if it's because I really don't have a preference or because I don't want to offend someone. I'm pretty sure it's the first. I mean - there's sure to be something on some menu somewhere I'm sure to like. And if I absolutely hate the place - well, what'd I lose - $15 bucks maybe? And most likely there's sure to be another meal tomorrow so it's not like each dining experience has to be "the one." Therefore it's not something I want to waste my energy on. You decide. I'll be there!
2. I love to watch football. I watched all four playoff games this past weekend. I've love watching football, both college and pro, since I was a little girl. The one rule at our house was only ask questions during commercials. But during commercials, I plied my dad with questions and learned much about the game. I've followed some players since their college days when I was in high school and college and now they're coaches and announcers! I used to be able to tell you who was coaching every NFL team. I've only been to one NFL game though and that's fine with me - I'd much rather watch it on TV.
3. I think I've mentioned this on my 100 Things About Me post which I'm sure you've all memorized by now. Nevertheless, it's worth nothing again here - I've never been in the hospital or even broken a bone. Therefore I'm extremely afraid of such an experience. My husband would think it wonderful though, because he loves hospital cafeteria food. So my being in the hospital would be a blessing to him? Well not really, but he'd probably enjoy the food nevertheless!
4. I don't know if it's weird or not but I read really fast. I took a speed-reading course in college for the easy credit and on the first day, read 1200 words per minute. By the end of the course, I was reading 1800-2000 words per minute. It came in handy for all the history classes I took. I guess I was retaining it well enough because I usually got A's.
5. I hate underwater life. Little pretty tropical fish in aquariums are the exception. When I was a senior we went to Sea World in Florida on our senior trip and one show was a movie where you needed to wear those 3-D glasses. I closed my eyes and crumpled those cardboard glasses in my hands and tried to think of happier things like painting and Ireland and what pranks we were going to play on the boys that night. I hate pictures of octupus, eels, squid - all that stuff. Absolutely freaks me out. Oh and those ugly fish in pet stores that stare at you with eyes on either side of their body while they move those weird jaws.
6. I never saw the Wizard of Oz until I was 21 years old. And to this day, I hate that movie. Which is unfortunate, because it's my husband's favorite. That and Starship Troopers. I bought him the Wizard of Oz for Christmas this year and like a good wife, will probably watch it with him. You couldn't pay me to pay good money for Starship Troopers though. Ugh.
That's it. Not too weird, huh? But what about you? So I'm tagging Stacy, Gail, Kelli at A Spacious Place, and whoever else wants to reveal their foibles and idiosyncrasies! And like everyone else said, if you don't have time or want to participate - no pressure here!
