I figured I’d do one of these posts where I name some quirks that I have.<\/p>\n

–1–<\/center>
\nI separate M&M’s, Skittles, jelly beans, and other candies by color and number.<\/strong> Why yes, I have seen “As Good As It Gets” and the jars of separated candies in Jack Nicholson’s apartment. Shut up.<\/p>\n

–2–<\/center>
\nI like my drinks cold.<\/strong> Stuff has to be refrigerated and cold for me to drink it. I even chill my glass.<\/p>\n

–3–<\/center>
\nI like my sheets cold.<\/strong> Jon knows not to “warm my spot” on the bed. The sheets have to be reasonably chilly. Cat-warmed sheets are acceptable however.<\/p>\n

–4–<\/center>
\nI hate watching movies of books that I’ve read.<\/strong> I’d prefer to use my imagination to visualize characters and watching someone’s interpretation of them ruins it for me. (I’m also a stickler for following the book which is why I haven’t gone beyond the third Harry Potter movie.)<\/p>\n

–5–<\/center>
\nI’m not a fan of pop-culture Christianity.<\/strong> Many people swear by The Purpose-Driven Life<\/u> by Rick Warren. I’d rather swear AT<\/b> it. (Seriously, I hated the book so much that I had to stop at Day 32 because I was going to burn the thing if I didn’t.) I’m also not a fan of Joel Osteen (long rant there), Joyce Meyers, T.D. Jakes, or anyone else like that. I am, however, a fan of Billy Graham and Tony Campolo because they preach the Cross and repentance and not the patsy crap that the others espouse.<\/p>\n

–6–<\/center>
\nI have to have the tabs on scrollbar (or whatever that bottom thing is) in a specific order.<\/strong> I think we’ve established that I’m a little OCD.<\/p>\n

–7–<\/center>
\nI prefer the older hymns to modern worship music.<\/strong> Give me a good hymnal any day. I could care less about overhead projectors — I want to read the music and words and turn the pages. The older the hymn, the better.<\/p>\n
