Why you're my hetero lifemate....

6. Every book series I own has to match-- as in, all paperback, all hardcover, or all the same covers/editions.
7. I sing to my dog. He has a "bedtime song," very simple and silly, but when he hears it, he goes straight to bed. (there's also a song about him being the "fluffiest, ruffiest puppy," but that's more general affection and doesn't produce any results except tail wagging.)
9. I'm thirty years old, but when it comes to things like science museums, bubbles, fireworks, puddles, and swings, I immediately revert back to being twelve.
10. I love going to concerts, but I very much dislike hearing live versions of songs on the radio.
12. When I'm drunk, I have a very pronounced southern drawl. I also pick it up subconsciously when I'm around people with a drawl. It's not a problem now that I live in NC, but I had to be really careful when I lived in Ohio, as travelers thought I was making fun of them.

The Southern (not really southern. More "appalachian" I only say this because I would get corrected all the time for calling it Southern. Perfectionist theatre profs.) drawl can be explained by WHERE we grew up in Ohio. A good deal of the older folk from our hometown migrated there from Kentucky to get a job at the steel mill. The accent just sort of stuck. Your stepdad definitely has it.
I definitely have it when I am intoxicated and throw out weird euphemisms. I get made fun of a lot for the things I say out here in Oregon.
Why I wonder why you are my hetero lifemate...

13. I still throw Buffy quotes into everyday conversation, even though the show ended eight years ago.

The song switching thing is what drives me the most insane and will result in a hetero lifemate divorce. That or Eden. Probably Eden.
I have no concept of what is odd, so I can't really respond. I read the entries and don't think they're odd. Someone else would have to say what's odd about me. I'm sure Cinna could comment....but she's too nice. ;-)
