Five Embarrassing Things About Me
Posted on June 17th, 2011
- I can’t sweat. Seriously, I glisten, then I swell up and pass out instead. (Caveat: when I am in the Deep South, I do. But I also want to die.) There is a reason I live at this latitude.
- Despite my amazing 20/400 vision AND incredible vanity, I can’t wear contacts, because I can’t put things in my eyes. I have tried, and I am incapable of it. It grosses me out. I blink. Just putting allergy drops in my eyes is a major operation.
- I still only like grilled cheese made with American cheese, specifically Kraft 2% Singles. I know it’s not real cheese. It has to be Kraft, because at least the first ingredient is milk. I looked at the generic version and it was oil. Ew!
- I…I like Jason Mraz…
- …and first saw/heard him on Sesame Street singing with Elmo. Because I really don’t get out much.

Max LOVES that song, so it has a special place in my heart. Of course, when he is with me and it comes on, we have to listen to it. But then if I am by myself and I hear it, I still listen to it because it reminds me of him and its all very happy.
Nothing embarrassing about Jason Mraz! And I knew someone else with the not-sweating condition, and she had coloring similar to yours. Is it genetic?
I think it’s genetic (the other women in my immediate family are the same), but it’s kind of amusing because it comes from the side of the family that is from the Deep South (but originally Scotland. Go figure).
Well don’t you worry. I sweat enough for two people. You’re welcome. (HA!)
Those were really interesting! And how does anyone NOT love that song? =)
I don’t know any other songs by that guy, but that song has always made me melty like a big emotional poophead person. I like the song a lot less with Sesame Street people singing along, though.
Hold up. Does that have different words?
It does. The real song is “I’m Yours,” but this is “Outdoors.”
I hate contacts too! Get literally sick at my stomach when I try to put them in. I had a malignant melanoma on my iris and had part of the iris taken out. Rare, like me. My left eye looks like it is constantly dilated, so I wanted to make it look more normal. Screw that. I threw up in the doctor’s office when they tried to put in the contacts.
Most of these are endearing
!
I wouldn’t be able to do contacts either.
And I have a very soft spot in my heart for Jason M. because I once heard in the middle of some radio patter that he’s very altruistic. That’s all it took. (My most embarrassing secret is how *easy* I am.)
