Born To Fly

Born to fly, I was not.  I am a walking case of oxymorons.  I know, surprise surprise.  Here are some of my favorite oxymorons about myself.
  • I hate to fly, but love to travel.  I only fly as it is a means to the end of getting to have an adventure.  Do i do it often?  Nope.  I guess that is why I am able to actually do it.
  • I am a picky eater, but I love to eat.  My daughter already eats more fruit and veggies than I do.  Lucky girl.  I am trying to make a concious effort to be better and re-try some foods that I have not liked in the past.
  • I hate needles, but actually use to look forward to my weekly allergy shot. The relief was just too good and much needed.
  • I hate anything to do with accounting.  For some reason in college, I always worked in the accounting offices of wherever I worked on campus.
  • I really do not like numbers, but every job I have ever had is very numbers driven and intensive.  It continues even in my present job.  Most of my evaluation is measured on sales metrics.  Gotta love that and I am being very sarcastic.
  • I love music, but married a man who could kind of care less about it.  I do not think he will ever understand the joy I find in it.
  • I like to be alone and am just as happy alone as with a crowd of people.  However, I do consider myself a people person.
  • I have a compulstion to count stairs and roll down my tube of Burt's Bees Wax everytime I use it. I do not think that is weird at all.
If you have any crazy oxymorons about yourself, what is your favorite?

I like this post!
I'm sure I'm one big walking oxymoron, but I'll have to give it some thought.

I love this - I've had it open for days because I'm planning on posting something similar. Ooooh, free time, why do you elude me?!

I'm totally with you on being a people person yet knowing that you need alone time. A very good thing to know about yourself.
