quirks.

Lots of people start out their posts with definitions of what they'll be talking about, but eh, I didn't like what the dictionary said.  So I made up my own :)

quirk[s] - a trait or traits that make a certain individual unique.  Pretty good if I do say so myself.

All of us have quirks, ones we like and ones we don't.  I'll start off with the ones I like, or at least don't mind all that much.

1.  Lots of bracelets.  Not frilly, girly bracelets.  Like...silly bands, ponytail holders, my God-strong bracelet, and my 'Roma' one that I wear for Roman orphans.  I pretty much wear them everyday except Sunday, and that's only because mom says they look weird with my church clothes. :P

2. I talk with my hands.  I dunno why I do, I just do.  Once, I accidentally hit someone in the face *awkward silence* Sheesh, it was an accident you guys!

3. I watch the same movies and read the same books over and over and over.  But it's only when I reallllllly love them.  Take the Chloe series by Melody Carlson for example.  I LOVE those books.  And the Chronicles of Narnia movies.  Goodness, who knows how many times I've watched Prince Caspian...

Then those those quirks that I'm rather embarrassed to share, but I will, in this safe haven of my blog.

1. I sing continually.  I know it's annoying to some people, but I just can't seem to stop!  I sing under my breath, but even then they give me weird glances.  I think I might even sing in my sleep... :/

2. I talk really loud.  Like, only when I get really excited about things, but since I love the little things in life, that's pretty often.  My mom's always ssh-ing me, and I wonder if I'm actually as loud (and obnoxious) as I think I am.

3. I like T-shirts.  Erm, I hate this.  But instead of wanting to look cute and dolled up like most girls, I'm perfectly comfortable in jeans and T-shirt.  And sometimes, this can make me feel realllllly out of place.

But I'm learning to cope with all my quirks, because God made me in His image, just like He wanted me to be.  And if I'm good enough for Him, I should be good enough for me.

"So God created man in his own image.  In the image of God, he created them; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27

"Don't be afraid to stand out.  That's how the lost get found..."
