Let's get started!

11 Random Facts About Me:

1. I talk out loud to myself when I'm alone....as if I may be talking to another person. It is quite disturbing (even to me)

2. I am SUPER afraid of having feminine odor. I check myself 2-3x a day and if I'm with my dude, fuhgetaboudit!

3. I spend a lot of time in my own head.

4. I grew up being very picky about food. I've tried to rectify that in my adulthood but that hasn't happened yet.

5. I feel as though I'm socially awkward half of the time.

6. Only Wynsters knows about this personal blog. All my other friends (who see me on a consistent basis)  are clueless. I would love to keep it that way.

7. I am a very messy person in the house but my outer appearance is always meticulously put together. I'm desperately trying to change that. It is an uphill struggle.

8. I can sit in silence for hours whether by myself or with other people. This seems to make others very nervous when they're around me for some reason. This fact has been magnified by the fact that at work, there is always loud music playing and people talking ALL DAY. I crave silence when I'm at home.

9. I'm obsessed with Europe.

10. I would love the opportunity to be a TV anchor.

11. I always wonder how I'm being perceived by other people but I would never really ask.
