Christmas Wish List!

Scott found this cool website where you can create your christmas wish list (or any wish list for that matter) I thought it was pretty cool because all of your friends and family can access it, and see what you want. You can even put links to the items you want so it makes it easier for them to buy it for you.

Confession

I suffer from Trichophobia: Fear of loose hairs. From Greek Thrix (hair) and phobia (fear), it’s the morbid disgust or fear caused by the sight of loose hairs on clothing or elsewhere. I know others who also have this phobia, including my dad.

I am not necessarily fearful them but I do have a morbid disgust of them. I have no problem touching my own hair as long it is still attached to my head, but the minute one comes loose I am repulsed and will not touch it again. Think about it: there is a reason that your head just rejected that particular hair….it is contaminated. You should no longer touch it. 

I hate it when people ask me to get hair off their back. If I am forced to touch a lose hair I will only touch it with a tissue (the hair and tissue must then be disposed of immediately). Ironically, I am the one who always finds hair in my food at restaurants. It makes me want to gag!

How Well Can You Hear?

The latest fad in the cell phone industry is the mosquito ring tone. It came about after a crafty British man invented a device called The Mosquito. It  is a device that emits a very high frequency tone meant to annoy teenagers (adults are unable to hear the tone). Businesses would blast the frequency outside their store to keep loitering teens away from their storefronts. Some crafty students decided to convert the same technology into a ring tone that only they (teenagers) could hear! By utilizing this free ring tone, they could now receive phone calls and text messages while in class or school without teachers knowing it.

WARNING: I now have a headache from listening to them too much; especially the super high frequency ones.
