Hey! Welcome to episode 16 of LOVING THE STRANGE where we talk about the strange, adorable things people do.
Thank you all so much for listening! This wouldn’t be fun if you weren’t here.
Let me have a moment of bravery and tell you something I (Carrie) do.
I hold my breath.
I hold my breath when I put pants on.
I hold my breath when I put my bra on.
I hold my breath when I walk up stairs.
I speed up my pace when I’m running if other people are around.
I also used to
Eat burgers by layer.
Other things we talked about.
People who put their long, long hair over the seat back in the airplane row in front of you. – This is not something Shaun can handle.
Forgetting to put water in microwave noodles.
Pretending you’re on the Voice or in a dance battle.
Assuming people are laughing at you when they’re just laughing near you.
Sending an email and then being like, oh crap, I should read that before I hit send and immediately reading it.
PRETENDING TO BE INTERVIEWED and acting it out with facial expressions.
PRETENDING ZOMBIES OR BIG FOOT OR BAD GUYS ARE RUNNING AFTER YOU when you are running.
“Throwing away the box from your microwave meal and then immediately having to fish it out to find out how long to cook it.”
The extra shout-outs go to our high level patrons who also read Carrie’s books in progress and get some art in the mail sometimes.

BE A PART OF OUR MISSION!
Hey! We’re all about inspiring each other to be weird, to be ourselves and to be brave and we’re starting to collect stories about each other’s bravery. Those brave moments can be HUGE or small, but we want you to share them with us so we can share them with the world. You can be anonymous if you aren’t brave enough to use your name. It’s totally chill.

Want to be part of the team? Send us a quick (or long) email and we’ll read it here and on our YouTube channel.
LET’S HANG OUT!
HEY! DO YOU WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME TOGETHER?
