Ok since I’ve pretty much only been raving on about crocheting this week, I thought I’d switch it up a bit.

One of my friends here in Budapest is taking a manicure class, and when she started her course in June, she asked if I would go to the class with her to be her model/guinea pig. Which is SUPER exciting! I used to LOVE going to get my nails done!

But then I realised if she has to do hand nails, then she would probably have to learn foot nails… She called last week asking me to go this coming Wednesday for a manicure and a… PEDICURE.

EEK!

Alright, how do I say this without sounding like a crazy person…??

Ok, well, I have a major issue with my feet being touched.. Actually, even seeing someone else get their foot touched makes me uncomfortable.. Those of you who had the pleasure of living with/near me in school will remember me promptly running from the room when one of my room mates was getting her feet rubbed… *shudder*

Anyway, needless to say, I’ve never had a pedicure before. Just thinking about it made a giant knot form in my stomach.

So my friend came over yesterday, and brought all of her manicure/pedicure bits and pieces with her. She wanted to explain to me what she would have to do – because she knew that I was mildly freaking out about it. Which was actually really nice of her.

She got out this pretty pink case and opened it up to reveal what appeared to be surgical instruments. So I started laughing – a little manically – as she began to explain what scraper was used for what. (“You’re going to do WHAT with that big giant CLEAVER??!? and what the hell are those secateurs for?!?!!?”)

And as she was talking, I kept saying to myself “it’s not going to be that bad”.. Which, if I think about it rationally, is true. I mean, nothing bad is going to happen. (I guess the worst that could happen is me accidentally kicking her… :s) But she did say that she’s only going to do 1 foot.. A semi-pedi!

Hey, I might even like it enough to get the other foot done!

I guess I should explain my little compulsion to those of you who probably think that I should be institutionalised…

I don’t like the feeling of my foot being touched.. It makes me feel nauseous. That is all. I don’t know why. Maybe I’m just weird. But that’s how it is.

My boyfriend could accidentally brush his hand past my foot and I will literally jump 2 feet away from him and start squeaking at him “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING MY FOOT??”, while staring at him with full-on crazy eyes. And then he will roll his eyes and tell me that I’m crazy and tell me that its not like my feet are ugly or weird and that I’m being a drama queen. I don’t know..

We’re all a little crazy, right? Some slightly more so than others.. *ahem*
