Freak Secret

August 28, 2008

Do we all have something weird about us? Wait. Let me just say that we all have something weird about us. I am referring to our bodies, not our minds here people. And yes, I think even Brangelina must have something weird. Somewhere. Invisible to the naked eye, maybe. But it’s there.

I say this because I would like to believe I’m not a freak of nature. I’ve heard of people having an extra toe. Or even an extra nipple, like Chandler on Friends. Or maybe a strangely shaped birthmark. We have a friend who has two toenails on one toe. No, not layered, side by side. (Sorry B, but this makes you a freak).

I believe it’s possible that I may have revealed my freak secret here on the blog before, but I don’t remember clearly. If I did it was back when Kelly, Sabrina and my dad were the only ones reading it. So I apologize to them for the repetitive nature of this post. But last time I didn’t have a freak secret POLL. So that’s what makes this different.

I only grow hair in one armpit.
(Never have grown hair in the leftie, it’s true. Don’t know why, but n’er a hair has grown there. There is normal stubble that appears in righty, but leftie stays clean as the day I was born.)

Now notice the poll in the left sidebar and go vote. Just for kicks. And go ahead and make your wise cracks in the comments. I promise, I’ll like them. And please tell me there’s something weird about you or someone you know. That would be nice too.


P.S. You should have seen Ryan’s face when we first met and I told him this little freak secret. Priceless. Speaking of Ryan, we’ve been married four years today!

I’m sorry, but I’m the first totally grossed out person. It’s not you, it’s just freak secrets in general. I’m equally grossed out by the two toenail thing.

You wouldn’t think I’d be like this, but I totally am.

Congrats! (On your wedding anniversary, not your armpit.)
Now I’m jealous because I don’t have any freaky secrets to confess. Give me a minute though, I might be able to make up something.

Just think of the money you must save on shave gel and razors!!! I’m so jealous. According to my calculations, you will be exactly $26.49 richer than the rest of us when you die.

I’m jealous!

My husband wishes I was you. . .

Well, maybe not.

If I come up with any freak secrets, I’m totally back here to share with you.

Within one millisecond of reading that title I knew EXACTLY what you were going to say!

I wonder if it’s growing in you somewhere else, and one day you are going to cough up a giant hairball!
;)

Okay. That was gross . . . even for me! Ha!

crock.

P.S. Now that you’ve put this out there for all the world to read: What are you going to use as your “Tell Us One Thing We Would Never Know About You” during that ridiculous ice-breaker/get-to-know-your-co-worker/we’re-pretending-we-are-actually-interested-in-you game at your next place of employment?? Hmmm . . . .?

Happy anniversary!

That is pretty cool…in school you could just raise that arm and not have to try to remember if you shaved that morning…

Jessica August 28, 2008 at 1:29 pm

I think that is hilarious! I’ve never heard of that, and it totally caught me off guard. too funny! and Happy Anniversary! (By the way, I haven’t ever read either of those, but my husband loves those two authors).

That’s freaky?
Not in my realm. Freaky is my father-in-law who used to clip and keep his toenails. He would then put them in the visor of his car to use as toothpicks. I”m SO not kidding.
My only freak of nature is that my toenails on my baby toes grow straight up instead of out. Makes for interesting pedicures.

Happy Anniversary!

And I envy you. I get five o’clock shadow in my armpits, legs, etc…

Kristen August 28, 2008 at 4:06 pm

Coming from someone who has paid lots of money for hair removal, EMBRACE IT! I am jealous.

Sabrina August 29, 2008 at 8:09 am

Chandler had a nubbin.

At least you don’t have a waddle… that would be embarrassing, I’m not talking about the way you walk. I just reread what I wrote I was talking about Ally McBeal, and the lawyer who was obsessed with the judge with the waddle, you know, on your neck, like a turkey…
uh, yeah, so is it awkward all of the sudden, or is it just me?

Ummmm to make it up to you, I don’t have any weird things about me, but my sister… (and yes, I’ll rat her out to save my own A$$)
Has toe thumbs. I’m not kidding, her thumbs, look like big toes.

So yeah…

Congrats on your anniversary!

And that armpit one is definitely unique as far as I know! Unfortunately all my freak things are more obvious . . .

Hi, and thanks for your comment over at Motherscribe today. That certainly is bizarre – would be better if hair didn’t grow on one of your legs, though. Less shaving is always a good thing in my book. I have gorilla arms that hang out of my long sleeved shirts, and I wear a size 11 Narrow shoe. “She’s a super freak, a super freak, she’s super freaky, YOW!”

I am jealous. Oh the bliss of only having to worry about remembering to shave ONE armpit!!! I want that kind of freakiness!
