Two fun facts about you.

[hopenotlost]

I was lurking on other boards and saw this.  Tell us two fun facts about yourself that we may not know.  

1.  Street lights turn off when I'm around.
2.  I can write backwards in cursive.

[illgetthere]

Wait, what? Like you get next to a street light and they go out?

1. I have a fear of birds, including chickens. Ducks don't bother me much, but they don't flap their wings so much.
2. I read Lonesome Dove every summer, have since I was in high school.

Birds terrify me.

1. I don't like bacon. I was once served bacon that wasn't fully cooked, and it ruined it for me, for life.

2. I once auditioned for AGT.

1. I served as the Cattlemen's Association county "Beef Queen" (isn't the title glamorous?) and competed for state queen for 2 years. This always makes my H giggle, mostly because I am the least girly-girl he knows.

2. I was also an FFA State Farmer.

Yep, I will be walking down the sidewalk at night and one will randomly go out.  DH thought I was crazy when I told him, but it would only happen when I was with him.  It happens when I am driving too.

1. I am left handed and I have green eyes. Both of those things are like 15% of the population, so to have both is super unique.

2. I learned to swim before I learned to walk, and I learned to ride a motorcycle before a bicycle.

I'm left-handed and have hazel eyes that sometimes look greenish. I wonder if the genes are related?

omg...this happens to me too!!  I'm totally freaked out by it.  Do you know the cause?  I assume it has to have some kind of sensor.  I figured it was just our city lights... do you live near me??

Haha I am in Iowa if that helps!  I have no idea why it happens.  It happens EVERYWHERE though for me. Not just in my town.  No matter where I go it happens.  I thought for a long time when I drove at night and it happened that my headlights would hit the sensor just right and cause it to go out, but then I realized it was happening when I was walking and no cars were around.

Probably! I've read that it's actually not uncommon.

I know. But I can't get that nasty, slimy, grease taste out of my mouth whenever I see it. *gag*
