Hey weirdo!
Posted on: October 5, 2008If someone thinks you're weird, don't fret. Just keep repeating whatever it is which is so weird to this person, and they'll get used to it. There, better now?
Sometimes I stare at words and wonder why they make any sense at all.
Sometimes I freeze in mid-step and ponder how I'm able to move like this. *does robot dance*
If you grew up raised by a pack of wild dogs/apes/dinosaurs (just sayin'), you'd find human parents weird. Not that it happens often, but even amongst human parenting, there's a lot of variations.
My Mom used to deny me chocolate, damnit. I could only eat a Reese's peanut butter cup once in a blue moon, or maybe more frequent if I bummed some off of friends (they preferred other friandises tho).
Now, I'm amazed. I can buy a WHOLE BOX of them — king-size! — at Costco, and start eating.
I ate 12 yesterday, and now my tummy feels sick. I wonder if that's related. Then my wife made me tea!
NOT that I'm going to keep eating them right away and expect my digestive system to get used to it — that's missing the point. But you sure as heck are going to get used to me eating REESE'S KING SIZE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS (not paid text product placement) if I keep telling ya.
The point: don't abuse abundance. Treasure what it took to accumulate it.

Now you're scaring the hell out of me, Torley.
I think and ponder the *exact* *same* *things* all the time.
Like… why do they call an automobile (Automatically mobile) a "Car" - which turns out to be short for "Carriage" which is the legal term for an automobile: Horseless Carriage.
So… I'm wierd like you. And PROUD of it! Except I'm not into the Philipino coloring of watermelons. But, hey, that's what makes you tou! ;D
okay, I'll be quiet now so I stop wierding people out. :\

Reese's Peanut butter cups are so incredibly yummy, I agree. It's great that we can eat as many as we want without external regulation, but it's that internal regulation that seems to have gotten to you this time.
Perhaps having them right next to your desk makes them too convenient and easy to over indulge?
I am not suggesting we move them next to my desk, oh that would be tragic, maybe we should keep them in a Reese's neutral zone, you know positive friction to make it a bit harder to over consume them.
Here is a side note. If you ever go on a diet, and you find the Russel Stover sugar free, low carb candy, they are very, very tasty but just have one or two. If you eat too many of those that will really do a number on your tummy.
I remember when I had first moved out on my own and did something similar with a whole jar of maraschino cherries. They are so delishious but how come they put just one on your ice cream, or maybe two in a drink?
My mother was the chief of the jar at our house, I wanted to drink the syrup!! This was totally out of the question, but not when I moved out. I feasted on them, and whoa, it took me a bit to even look at maraschino cherries again. Today I will indulge with 2-3 on my ice cream and maybe a splash of the juice but I sure learned my lesson.
P.S. I'm glad the tea helped.

My favorite breakfast is Reese's. It's a blessing to be able to enjoy food without guilt! I believe the guilt can have worse effects than the actual food!
Peace, Love & Chocolate

Really, most English words shouldn't make sense at all. Even more so with brand names. I sometimes find myself watching a commercial on TV and wonder, "What the hell is a [insert brand name here]?" Sure, most of them are misspelled words, but some are just plain crypic. Too bad I can't think of an example right now, though >_<

@thattagen: I find that especially true of Web 2.0 companies, which tend to either be vowel-challenged or overgenerous with 'em.
