1. I babble incessantly, giggle, stutter and fidget when I'm nervous. I know that it makes me look like a total ditz to those who don't know me, but who really cares? I know I don't. It makes me seem bubbly and sweet even though, deep down inside, that's not always true.
2. I never pollute. I don't even toss my gum out of the window while driving, a fact that drives my husband nuts.
3.I always use my turn signal, even when I'm the only one on the road. Seriously, don't you hate it when someone turns into your lane with no warning? The Golden Rule applies even when we're driving people! I am probably a little on the nit picky side with this, but I can't stand rude drivers and it seems there are more rude drivers than not.
4. The sound of horses chewing their grain always makes me hungry too. I usually crave Mac N' Cheese - how bizarre, how bizarre (remember that song)?
5. 6. and 7. I am super nostalgic. I love flipping through old pictures and reminiscing with friends (I'm sure it's an obnoxious trait). My favorite music is classic rock because it brings back memories of my child hood. Certain songs bring back certain memories...
"Sailing" Christopher Cross - Lake Michigan, late summer, getting ready to watch Puff the Magic Dragon at my God mother's condo.
"Material Girl" Madonna - playing Barbies with my next door neighbor Sarah, in her basement, dreaming about being older.
"Listen to the Music" Doobie Brothers - My parents are young, like really young. I'm little and at a BBQ, swinging and playing in the dirt. My parents are with their friends, laughing and having a good time. It's evening and I'm happy and tired.
"Mouth" Bush - my first date, the movie "American Werewolf in Paris". Rainy in the parking lot, we held hands on the way to my car. He didn't kiss me.
"Waterbed Hev" Heavy D - Cruising the strip in my best friend Laura's Dodge Ram, eating wedges from KFC and meeting boys.
and so on and so forth....I think this one constitutes as 3 answered since there's a lot of random ;).
8. I can't stand the word vehicle. It reminds me of my cheesy driver's ed teacher who wore polyester bike shorts and made us watch horribly outdated movies about driving. He pronounced the word VEEE HIIIICK AL. Ugh! ha ha ha, how's that for random?
9. Apparently I really do grind my teeth while I'm sleeping. Jaw problems, OUCH!
10. Sometimes when I'm on a long car trip, I watch out the window and imagine myself on a horse riding along the highway, jumping the road signs. Sometimes I'm just posting really really fast to the rhythm of the tunes on the radio, of course!

I do #10 too! Or at least I used to when I was a kid. I'm usually the one driving these days, so there's less opportunity for day-dreaming like that. Funny...
omg..#10 you are not alone! :)
When my family and I would drive from IL to MI for family vacations, I would 'jump' over anything with my imaginary horse. When walking home from HIGH SCHOOL, I would canter home and jump over cracks in the side walks and jump over curbs and alley speed bumps....oh boy! lol!
