During lunch break: I just realized that I eat my pretzels methodically. Not only pretzels, but Oreos and sandwiches, too. Maybe I’ve always known this about myself, but this is the first time I’ve taken conscious note of it, and did some self-exploration about this aspect of my personality.
When I say that I eat my pretzels methodically, I mean that I usually eat the broken ones first. The intact ones (or the relatively intact ones) I leave at the bottom of the bag. Save the best for last, I tell myself.
Whenever I eat an oreo, I look at each bite to see how it has shaped and impacted the oreo, then I meticulously plan out my next bite so as to keep the oreo in some conventional shape. Half-moon, for example. Or crescent moon. No more full moon now that it's bitten. Lots of moons.
As for sandwiches, I always like to keep the sandwich even. That means that if stuff is spilling out one side of my sandwich, then I bite off the side with the dangling modifiers first. I can’t stand dangling modifiers! Hence, I bite all around the sandwich until it is this clear-cut shape, usually circle or oval or square or, hell, even a kidney bean. But that’s the way I eat my sandwiches.
I sent Matt a text message telling him my realization that I eat my pretzels, oreos, and sandwiches methodically. He said that he ate his oreos methodically, too. I wonder what that says about us as people.
Or maybe it doesn’t say anything at all. Maybe we’re just crazy. Or maybe it’s the sandwiches that are crazy. :)
