the {im}perfect ponytail.

i am not very talented with my hair. up until high school, i would beg my mother to pull my scraggly blonde hair up into a ponytail, and curl it for my dances. i didn't buy a straightener until last month, and i can't use a curling iron for my life. yes, yes. you can laugh. how does a person {woman} get to the age of twenty without using those hot and scary styling tools?

honestly? i don't know.

i either didn't care, or was just too lazy. i would much rather sleep for another two hours then spend it on my bathroom counter singeing my bangs and scrubbing my face with powders. but then of course, every time i do it i have the time of my life. ;) Make-up is fun, and so is pretty/celebrityworthy hair. i just don't have it very often.

{this is how i should have spent all of my high school years. with my hand right...there ;) }

my battle {or lack thereof} with hair made me think about all my other +weirdo quirks, so here's a {baby} list:
1. i love plain celery. a lot. yes, you read that right. all. by. itself. {collective gasp}
2. i'm still scared when the closet door is left open at night.
3.  music is always playing when i take a shower. it's usually country, and then i commence to singing into my razor.
4. i only drink 2% milk out of a glass. {and usually a wine glass, at that...}
5. when i take my clothes out of the closet, i always bring the hanger, too. which is dumb because then it ends up on my floor for a week.
6. i find the counter to be a perfect place to sit, at any time. and much to the chagrin of my father.
7. i still hide a little bag of chocolate chips under my bed. {i'm still doin' it, mama!}
8. four is my favorite number {4}, so i like to make lists/live life in multiples of four. case in point.

my best friend had to help me make my  list, but i would absolutely love to hear from you. anything quirky/fun that you think needs a little airing out?
