Adventure #76: Surprise! KJ's a Weirdo!

Dear You & You (And You -- Yeah, YOU!),

I was tagged by Jo & MrsDragon (linked above), for the 6 Weird Things About You meme, so here are six weird-ish things about moi, and since I was a sick giraffe for pretty much the last half of August, surprise, surprise, half of my weird-ish things are health related:

6. I will never, ever, ever eat a tomato, but I love some ketchup & have no problems with spaghetti sauce, either.

5. I didn't get my driver's license until I was in college, and I didn't particularly want it, then.

4. I occasionally have nocturnal seizures.  I've never had one when I wasn't sleeping -- but I'll wake up in the morning with sore beyond belief legs and arms, a headache, bruises here there and yonder, and, yes, a bit of amnesia, too.  This happened early last week and the next day, I had a chat with my mom about how I was concerned that I hadn't heard from a buyer whom I was waiting to approve a custom piece so I could varnish it.  Later that afternoon, I was looking through my old mail and saw that I HAD gotten an e-mail from that buyer and read it the night before at 2:23 a.m. AND had gotten a Conversation via Etsy from her as well and had read that, too -- and had no recollection of it.  The time before that, for whatever reason, I hid my glasses in my computer stool underneath all of my disks and it took almost two months to find them.  Once, back in 2004, I went on a first date with a guy I really liked, had one of the seizures that night, and didn't remember the date the next morning, until my mom told me about it. Only once has anyone seen me having one of the seizures, and that was my sister waaaaaaay back in 1999, and they took me to the hospital and all of the tests came out normal, though they did put me on medication for seizures and I wasn't allowed to drive for six months.  My "seizures" may actually involve some sleepwalking, too, as during one (the 2004 one to be specific) I have knocked over an entire exercise bike.  But who knows. THAT'S WEIRD. 

3. I am 98% sure I have Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, which is a rare form of aura that comes before migraines.  That IS WEIRD.  In fact, that's how I tend to describe it: "I feel weird."  You can Google it and read more about it if you like, but it's pretty much impossible to explain, except, "I feel weird."

2. I have two uteruses.

1. I didn't find out that I had two uteruses until I was 27.

Weird enough for ya?

I wish I could show you what I've been working on this week, because I'm pretty much in love with it, but it's a commission for a gift, which is a surprise, so I have to keep it under wraps for a l'il bit longer.  Speaking of surprises, though, it's Try Day @ Create A Connection once again and this week, Try Day is all about SURPRISES...so head on over there, read my post, and get involved!  Ooh, and if you're wondering just WHAT the story is behind the picture with this post, that's explained over there, too!

Weirdly yours,

KJ
