7 Random/Weird Facts About Me


1. I can't stand the sound of teeth against a metal fork. Or the squeal of a metal fork against a porcelain or ceramic plate. Or two kinds of metals rubbing together, like a fork and knife. Just talking about it gives me goosebumps, makes the hair on my arms stand up, and sends shivers down my spine all at once. This is why going to the dentist is PURE TORTURE for me. When they take a little metal instrument and scrape it against my teeth.....eeeeek. Hate it. Marcelo is the only person I've ever met who has this same problem. Although his isn't quite as severe as mine. At least neither one of us will ever intentionally scrape our fork through our teeth like my brother used to do to torture me. (Or he'd rub his silverware together just to see me squirm in my seat.)

2. I think I've said this on here before, but I'll say it again. My feet are black. They're darker than the rest of my body. In the summer, they look like a whole separate ethnicity. In the winter, they just look like they have a perma-tan. Whenever I go to the pool or to the beach, I put SPF50 on them just so they won't get darker. It's quite embarrassing.

3. When I was 9, I got stung by a scorpion. I still have a bump on my right arm from it. I still remember everything about that day, down to what I was wearing. Maybe I'll post the whole story another day.

4. I think Swiss chocolate is the best chocolate in the whole wide world. I LOVE chocolate. All I have in my house right now is Colombian chocolate (Chocolatina Jet) and I eat one almost every single day. I need rehab.

5. I have a really hard time hiding emotions in my face. If I'm upset, my bottom lip sticks out. It's uncontrollable and it's a dead giveaway. So I bite it to try to hide it.

6. I have a thing for tweezing my eyebrows, pulling out splinters, and pulling weeds. Something about getting the root out is so satisfying. Weird, I know.

7. My mom calls me Surina. It started out as "Princess" (preencess, with a Spanish accent) when I was little, and then turned into, "Prinsurina" (preensurina), and then got shorted to "Surina". A lot of times she just calls me "Sur".

I tag: All the "RHMs" that haven't done it yet. You know who you are.
