Hello gorgeous readers!
I have an extremely vital question to ask you:
How do you eat M&Ms?
Do you arrange the colors? Do you eat the best colors first or last? Or do you just eat them straight out of the package? Do you eat them one-by-one? Or do you eat them by the mouthful?
I bet that as you’re reading this, you’re already forming your strategy on how you attack minuscule, polychromatic candies. Personally, when I open a package of M&Ms, I arrange them all by color, then I eat the color that has the most M&Ms and continue until all the colors have even amounts, and then I eat them from least favorite color to most favorite color (Brown and yellow, respectively).
So why the random question? Well, whenever I meet people, I don’t ask the usual questions like, “Where did you go for high school?” or “Where do you live?” I’m much more interested in the answers to questions like, “When you eat a meal, do you eat your favorite food first or save it for last?” or “How do you eat a sandwich?” For me, I can get a better sense of someone’s personality through such questions and the best part is: they’re good icebreaker questions! People love talking about themselves and when I pose these questions to one person or a group of people, they just open up and there’s always a big discussion. I always love how people have strategic reasonings for how they do little things.
So here are my answers:
When you eat a meal, do you eat your favorite food first or save it for last?
Definitely last. For me, eating everything else on my plate is like “hard work” and my favorite food is the reward at the end! What sucks is that once I’ve eaten everything else and I’m about to dig into the good stuff, my mother will often take her fork and steal my beloved nom noms and coyly say something like, “You’re not gonna eat this right?” or “I want the last bite!”
*sigh*
How do you eat a sandwich?
Like this:
And then I eat the rest in a clockwise motion and save the center for last!
So, lovely reader, how do you eat M&Ms or any of the other above questions? Leave a comment! I’d love to know!
Hey there!
Before I dig into the good stuff, here are a couple of updates on the oh-so-exciting life of Jackie! -end sarcasm- Yesterday I had my “interview” with the volunteer coordinator at the Botanical Conservatory and I’ve got training scheduled for the next couple weeks as a receptionist and a gift shop clerk! Also, on Monday, my summer class for Paralegal Studies begins! I’m so excited to get started with both!
Anyway, Annika’s post about barcode scanners made me think of those crazy careers you always wanted to have when you were a kid. In my case, I told my parents/relatives/teachers that I wanted to be an astronomer when I grew up. Though that was partially true, I felt my true calling, my absolutely perfect career, would be…
A cashier.
Yep! When I was a kid, I wanted to be a grocery store cashier. But could you blame me? From a kid’s perspective, cashiers have the most amazing job because they get to handle the coolest colorful, shiny, button-y, noise-making machine ever: the cash register. Tap, tap, tap. Beep. Beep. Whhhhirrrrrr. Ka-ching! It’s pretty much an overwhelmingly irresistible orchestral sound to a child’s ear. Why do you think they make toy versions of them?
And then there was the conveyor belt. When I was young, I just relished putting the groceries on the belt just for the pure satisfaction of watching my big red box of Froot Loops cereal glide three feet forward. So simple, yet so magical. And that wasn’t even the best part. The conveyor belt was nothing compared to…
The barcode scanner. Coolest, damn thing ever invented. You know what I’m talking about. Admit it. Stores may claim that they have self-checkouts for speed and convenience, but we all know they are there so you can fulfill your youthful desire to scan barcodes.
Or maybe it’s just me.
Ahem.
So! What jobs did you want to have when you were a kid?
Also, I’d like to plug my newest blog buddy: Chidora! Go check out her new blog! :D
Sooooooo, I keep writing these drafts for blog posts, but I’m just lukewarm about all of them. I’ve got a whole list of potential topics, so don’t lose faith in me just yet! In the meantime, check this out:
Mystery Guitar Man included my photo in his latest video! I’m around the :30 mark, wearing sunglasses and a blue tank-top. It’s really just a split second, but see if you can spot me!
Later kids!
