10 'Interesting' Facts

I use quotes because these seem strange, at least to me...
There's nothing too terribly interesting about me. I have a friend who used to ask "What's new and exciting in the world of Henry Wescott Haybert Jr?" (no joke, she used my full name nearly every time)...not only did it scare the crap out of me (snuck up on me on buses, etc), it gave my brain a kick-start.

I'm an "un-masculine (effeminate?), carnivorous man-beast."


Fact 1:
Despite my outwardly pissed-off demeanor, I am very friendly (though my social skills leave something to be desired). This is because my face's "neutral" expression seems more like a scowl (though, sometimes this is a true reflection of my mood) than a bored look. I'm not sure why...perhaps I'm just a naturally unhappy person? That's a thought.

Fact 2:
The more tired I get, the more verbose I become (though my vocabulary sucks anyways). It doesn't happen all the time, just when I've had a tiresome day. It can be a bit...entertaining, apparently. I can't give any real examples...maybe I'll edit this before I go to bed tonight?

Fact 3:
I am a "very particular, grumpy person," according to my girlfriend. I tend to agree. Screw up my pattern/schedule, and it just fucks up my whole day. Don't ask me why; I don't know (again, my girlfriend says I have minor "OCD"...great).
This is because I got used to being self-sufficient...when I was living with my dad, my brother was grossly incompetent, so I tended to do things (chores, mostly) without him...and then I got in trouble - for doing all the work.
I'm also picky about my food (textures and the like)...
Sorry, rambling.

Fact 4:
I'm not very masculine. I like "red hat society" colors...which are red and purple. Some nights I fight with my potential mother-in-law about who gets the purple cup at dinner. I'll wear knee-high purple socks (while wearing shorts) with a red shirt...and I love it. I also have pretty metallic purple nail polish. It's very pretty.

Fact 5:
I have a penchant for over-explaining things when it is entirely unnecessary. It can be almost anything.

Fact 6:
I do weird things in my sleep. I've strangled my girlfriend's pillow, demanded ketchup (I can't eat without it), and generally make odd noises (growling, mostly burping). I also cocoon myself in my quilt, leading to my overheating, which causes me to panic and wake up...yeah, then I'm pissed all night.

Fact 7:
I can make a "throat fart," with my throat. It freaks some people out...all I do is swallow some air really hard. Eh.

Fact 8:
I like darker subject matter (drama, gory things). I get bored with other things rather quickly. Of course, I can't really think of anything besides Law and Order: SVU.
Imagining pain (through a book, or writing) is very uncomfortable. I can't even stand the sight of blood - especially my own.

Fact 9:
I have made my cat obedient; don't ask me how, I don't even know anymore.

Fact 10:
I pace...a lot. It helps me to think; if I stop moving, my brain turns to sludge, and it's not pretty (I'm "like a shark"...at least I don't suffocate). Sometimes I'll pace for an hour, just trying to figure out what to write. I can do whole circuits around the house. It drives everyone else mad during conversations.



This all feels...inadequate for some damn reason. Ah, well...
