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!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
