Those that know Stephanie would most likely tell you she has a few quirks about her that make her unique (sometimes entertaining or possibly strange). Below are some of the fun idiosyncrasies particular to her, that you may not pick up on her from her writings.
- Stephanie talks to animals like a Princess from a Disney movie. When addressing said animals, she properly refers to them as “Mr. or Mrs.” (insert type of animal here). Example: “Hello Mr. Cat, you’re looking awfully stray today. Perhaps you would like to accompany me home and enjoy a delicious can of tuna?” This is normally when the animal scurries away and Stephanie shakes her fist at Disney movies and cries.
Stephanie loves all things Disney, movies included. Her favorite Disney Princess is Sleeping Beauty. She will run to beat small children into line for a picture with her. She will also let all little girls dressed up as Sleeping Beauty know that they are the intelligent ones. (Take that, Cinderella!)- She has a terrible fear of fish. All fish. Nemo, goldfish and guppies included. Although her biggest fear of dying is being eaten by a shark, she refuses to swim in the ocean in the “shallow end” due to fear of being eaten by a bunch of little fish.
- Stephanie thinks all concerns listed above are completely logical and totally acceptable. Laugh now, but when you are eaten by a group of guppies, don’t say she didn’t warn you (consider yourself warned).
When anxious and attempting to remain calm (especially in bad driving conditions), Stephanie sings (loudly and off-key). To be exact, she sings one song only, Baby It’s Cold Outside.- Unfortunately, Stephanie has a bad habit of picking up on accents…instantly and unintentionally. English, Australian, Southern, Sarah Palin- you name it and she can speak it… only when not trying. This can lead to embarrassing situations when the person she is parroting knows her accent is fake, and she cannot stop speaking in it. Awkward.
Someone (we won’t name names), has been known to eat gallons of ice cream by herself in 24 hour timeframes, entire cakes in only a few days, and her dinner date’s dessert as well as her own…with no regrets.- Steph’s peripheral vision is slightly less than stellar. Occasionally, (every other day) she may walk into doors, walls, poles, chairs, desks, counters, people, and just about anything else that she thinks she is two feet away from but really isn’t.
- Her favorite meal to go out for is breakfast, and her favorite restaurant for breakfast is Denny’s. She orders pancakes with strawberries (puree, not freshly sliced) and whipped cream with a chocolate milk (large glass thank you, I am not a child!).
Every Month on the 11th she celebrates her “Unbirthday,” except for the month when the 11th is her actual birthday.- Thinks odd numbers are good luck and even numbers are bad luck. Will only sit in an odd row when flying.
- Collects journals and pads of paper- but does not write in them to avoid “ruining” them. Has “ugly” notebooks set aside just for destroying with note taking.
- When betting on sporting events, Stephanie picks the team that she feels the mascot would win should they be tested Deadliest Warrior style against one another. Orlando Magic? They don’t stand a chance unless it is against Harry Potter.

The last picture is great
I went to the making of Harry Potter in Watford (UK) and for me (as a huge Harry Potter-fan) it was one of the greatest trips of my life! 
Sounds like a blast! What was your favorite book and who is your favorite character?
The last one I think (because it’s so emotional :_) hehe) I like Ginny but she’s not my fav character. Actually I never thought about it.
How about you?
Honestly I’m not sure. I really like Luna, but I like Hermione too! I don’t think I could name a favorite book either. The series overall was just super fun!
But you don’t afraid of being eaten by a dolphin, do you?
No b/c a dolphin isn’t a fish.
I have a journal collection too!!! I write in my pretty ones though–but they all have a strict theme that must not ever be broken
(travel, lucky things, friendship…) hahaha. I think bloggers are obsessed with documentation 
Oh my gosh I think you are spot on! Must be a writer thing. However, I really like the idea of themed notebooks. Maybe I will have to give that a try!? Thanks for the idea.
So glad you stumbled upon my blog so I could stumble upon yours!
I do the same thing with journals and notebooks!
You know it’s funny, quite a few bloggers now have said that. Wonder if there is a connection?
From one Stephanie to another, I really enjoyed wandering around your blog! Would love to post an odd Stephaniesyncrasies list of my own for my about page at some point!
THanks so much! I would love to read your Stephaniesyncrasies! If you do it, let me know!
This was too funny. Sounds like Stephanie may or may not have a small case of OCD. You’re book could be titled when guppies attack. Or For the love of guppies. Good stuff.
Good job Nathan, spotted that one right away, lol! Yes, a small case of OCD indeed (or large). Love the book titles!
Yeah. It takes one to know one. Thought you might. Loved the rawness of it all.
Yeah. It takes one to know one. Thought you might. Loved the rawness of it all. Okay stupid interweb not sure if you’re getting my replies..
I am, and thank you for the compliment!
No problem, there’s something to that yeah know.
We are so freakin’ similiar! Sleeping Beauty is my favorite too, but only in the blue dress (it REALLY bothers me that she was in the blue dress for most of the movie, but Disney only markets her in the pink dress). I actually told her that she needed to wear the blue dress rather than the pink dress at Disneyland once and she just laughed at me. On my first trip to London, I responded to an English tour guide in an English accent. Awkward! And I sing “Baby It’s Cold Outside” in the shower all year long.
Ummm…so I collect Sleeping Beauty things…but only if she is in her blue dress. I too voice my displeasure about her being in pink in the parks, and was told it was because Cinderella’s dress is blue (then she needs to wear her rags, duh). Weird…
I’m starting to think that we really were separated at birth. I’ve always said it’s because they can’t have two princesses in the same color dress! But if you really look at Cinderella’s dress in the movie, it’s not even blue. It’s silver. But of course, silver would look too much like white and white dresses are only for princess weddings. Argh!
I share your frustrations. We can start our own support group.
Love this! Breakfast is the best meal of the day…
Ahh, we are foodies at heart.
Very fun!
And personal so we can connect with you
Haha “Baby it’s cold outside” is better than “Jesus Take the Wheel”! Cute page Steph, and you’ll soon have a notebook/journal that is meant to get ruined! ::cough cough:: Belle is way smarter than Sleeping Beauty. Just saying.
Belle is my 2nd favorite, so you’re ok…LOL
bahaha
