my idosyncrasies... part two.

(read part one here)

I play with straw wrappers. more specifically, I fold straw wrappers in half and then in half again. every. single. time. I. encounter. a. straw. wrapper. I didn't even realize I was doing it at first, it just was happening, and then someone pointed it out to me. after I fold the wrapper twice I'll sit there and play with it until the food comes or I move it out of my reach.

I wash my hands in the shower. it's the first thing I do. I didn't really think of it was odd until I mentioned it over here. but really, how strange is it? I don't want dirty, unclean hands going into my hair that I'm trying to clean.

I love banana flavoring but not actual bananas. totally effed, I know. for whatever reason I love banana flavored things, such as:: banana cream pie, strawberry-banana yogurt//smoothies//margaritas, banana bread, banana chocolate chip muffins, etcetc. but when it comes to eating an actual banana.. I'm like Ron Swanson.

I love peanuts on my ice cream. give me a bowl of ice cream, I want peanuts. I mean I can eat ice cream without peanuts, but if they are available I will certainly be putting them on.

I have extremely sensitive taste buds. when it comes to foods I dislike I know immediately if it's in a dish. for example.. lime is a big one for me, I absolutely hate the taste of lime, and if it's involved in a meal at all I will taste it first bite. recently I also tasted beer in steak, I had no idea my mom marinated the steaks in beer and other ingredients.. it took me like 3 bites and I knew beer was involved. my dad thought I was cray.

I laugh, a lot. I just laugh a lot. if I don't know how to respond to something, I laugh. if I feel uncomfortable or awkward, I laugh. if I find something funny, obvi, I laugh. I laugh at other people, I laugh at myself, I laugh at people laughing.

I'm not a big fan of cheese. it's not that I don't like it. it's just that I prefer not to have it. I never add it to sandwiches or burgers, if it's already on that's fine but if I have the option I'd rather not have it. thanks, but no thanks.


ps:: birthday shoutout to my precious pup Penny Lane, love and miss you girl! and also, my cousin Tallon who turns 6 today! :)
