Weird Things that I do/ used to do

So I'll admit it... I'm a weirdo. I do weird things. I think everyone is a weirdo and if you aren't a weirdo... you're probably even weirder than the people that are weird... so that is a thing! Think about it.

The weirdest thing that I've done for the longest time and consistently do it I think is that if I eat something with a face like a keebler elf or a mini santa or bunny or something, I have to kiss it before I eat it. And this all started when I was in pre-school and the Keebler elf cookies with the actual pictures of the keebler elves on it first came out and I thought that it was mean to eat it because it looked like a person and my sister said to kiss it before you eat it... and then I told my pre school class and some mean kid that I didn't like said "bite its head off before you eat it." Which is mean and duh you're eating it thats kind of what you do anyway. But now I still pretty much always do it whether I am in public or by myself just out of absolute habit. I feel like its a little way of pretasting it, I like the way the texture feels I guess before I eat it... and yeah. Thats a thing. I don't even realize I do it most of the times I do it, I just do it without thinking and I'm like "you know you're 23 now... you don't have to do this." But no... I just like to think I'm whimsical. Lol.

When I grew up and went to college I started burping a lot when no one was around me and then I realized I didn't have to say excuse me... so now I just burp out loud. I used to be really good at covering my burps... my friends had never noticed a time when I burped... but now I burp a lot and probably in public and I don't really say excuse me anymore because I'm an adult... lol. No thats not true usually I get kind of embarrassed and then I'll say excuse me, but I feel like that is the ultimate status of being an adult.

I used to do accents a lot and I did an italian restaurant in an italian restaurant once and that wasn't a good idea cause it was just a mario impression. And also I memorized every line to My Big Fat Greek Wedding and then only did Greek accents... and now I can do basically no accents or impressions UNLESS Nick Kroll has done a character with that accent. I can do El Chupacabra pretty well, I think Liz and Liz's voices are my actual voices and I just tone it down a lot in real life, I've been doing Sylvester Stallone a lot recently which is really fun... Also I sing Uptown Funk in the voice of Paul F. Tompkin's version of Santa Clause... so thats a thing.

Theres a Stanley Tucci cookbook out... this really has nothing to do with weird things about me, but I think its pretty funny and I want it to be called "cookin with the tucch... and it isn't. So I'm sad.

I really love a good bad movie. Nicholas Cage is one of my favorite actors and Keaunu Reeves is probably another favorite... lol. They're so good. I love the How Did This Get Made podcast because they watch bad movies and do a whole show about it... which is amazing. I watched Glitter because of that podcast... Such an amazing movie. I urge you all to watch it... its fantastic.

I don't drive. But neither does Tina Fey... so I'm good.

I also sometimes just speak a nonsense language to myself. This is especially helpful if you have a song stuck in your head. Let's Say Too Many Cooks gets stuck in your head, just start singing it with nonsense lyrics until you can't sing anymore. Than it'll get stuck out of your head. And not in your normal voice because I don't see how you can do a different language in your regular accent.

I started calling my dog Spencer Spensario because I thought it sounded a little more Italian and he is a maltese, so I thought that would work. I got my whole family calling him that now because its catchy. Lol. I also say Puppario, which does sound like it could legitimately mean puppy in another language... unfortunately I did take a semester of Italian, and I may not know the language very well... but I know enough that puppario is not a word in Italian. Lol.


There are probably many more weird things... but this is what I'm comfortable sharing right now.

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
