getting to know me: confessions.

Anyone on Facebook has recently seen the posts of "Little Known Facts" about everyone.  I've enjoyed reading them so much, that I've decided to carry it over to my blog.  
Since I'm fairly new around here, I thought that it would be good to let you guys in on some little known facts about me.

1.  My nickname is "Rowdy."  I've had it for years and some people don't even know my real name.

2.  I "punch" people to show affection.  I don't know why.  It's not forceful, just a little "love pat." ;)  I think sarcasm and violence are my friendship love languages.

3.  I was once attacked by a turkey, resulting in a random fear of them for years.

4.  I compulsively eat one thing at a time.  Fries, then the burger.  Sides, then the meat. (see #7)

5.  I have broken my nose twice.  I have an expensive nose.

6.  Our wedding music included an acoustic Metallica instrumental.

7.  I'm OCD.  I love, LOVE buying new cleaning products.  It's my favorite aisle in the grocery store.  Organization makes me happy.  I live to make lists and alphabetize things.  The Container Store gives me goosebumps.

8.  I count all the houses with Christmas lights during the holidays.  No idea why.  (see #7)

9.  I have not seen or read Harry Potter.  I suppose I should get on that...

10.  I love to laugh until I can't breathe.  It's my favorite.
