My DEAR friend Beth [ahem….a MEME?] got me out of laziness to respond to her meme tag. How could I refuse such a task? I mean, after all, it’s heavy-hitting, serious journalism such as this that makes me so famous, right? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Here’s the meme: Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
1. I have texture issues with food. Generally I’m not a picky eater, but I draw the line when people put nuts into food. Cookies, cakes, brownies, fudge, ice cream….they all have to be nut free. I can’t stand having nuts left in my mouth when the rest has melted away! EWWWWWWWWW!
2. I have a completely ridiculous fear of bugs and spiders. More so spiders, but if something has a shell and hairy looking appendages, well, forget about it. Vacuums do wonders…a motto I live by!
3. Quite the opposite of Beth, I could go to a movie theater every weekend. I LOVE the theater, the popcorn and all that. I go out of my way to check for when movies are being released…I have “movies.com” bookmarked. I have the same freakishness about when movies come out on DVD. I’m usually going to a store over lunch on Tuesdays to pick up the next new release.
4. I can remember stupid stuff like full lines from obscure songs and from movies. I know some entire segments from “Good Morning, Vietnam” as one example. But ask me what I’m doing tomorrow, and I have to look at my day planner.
5. I have to have COLD pillows in order to fall asleep. I flip my pillows at least four times a night before I fall asleep. I love summer when the A/C is on because it blows onto my pillows if I position them just right.
6. I love fresh tomatoes! In the summer, I can eat them until I have sores in my mouth and my lips become chapped from all of the acid. Salt, pepper and tomatoes….YUMMMMMY!
Okay, so I think I met the requirements of this meme. I don’t think you could get any more non-important than that, huh?

I'm not sayin' a word.

All kidding aside, I'm the same way with food texture. Like, almost all food is creepy to me in some way. Especially fruit, and especially tomatoes! Larval! Ewwww!
Only YOU would think on such a dirrrrrrty level. HA!!!!! 
I hated tomatoes all of my life, until the summer of 2006 when I had a fresh beef steak tomato. Wow! Now I like tomatoes, but I hate when I get 'yucky' ones.
Well....Beth isn't exactly the only one
About that nuts thing...Beth beat me to it. It's just as well; if I had been stupid enough to crack a joke there, I'm sure Vinnie would have come after me with a bazooka...
What is it with chicks and spiders? Sheesh...
I won;t touch the "nuts" stuff - ewwwww. But I can relate to the "cold pillow" thing!
