I am very aware of my many bad habits. I'm thinking it's time to start writing about some of them and reactions folks have that I often just don't understand and simultaneously resent. Why now? Because today at the 7-11, I was critiqued on my slurpee-pouring method by the pizza delivery chick from next door and almost dumped my cherry-cola-monster frozen delight on her cantankerous head. It'll take a few posts to get to them all, so I'll just address one today. Really, the slurpee thing was number one, but I didn't announce it, so I'll start with an official number one down below.
#1: I put syrup on hot pockets.
This habit is cringe-worthy, according to many of my friends and my mother (the same woman who won't leave the Oklahoma State Fair without a deep-friend Twinkie.)
I find the syrup/hot pocket combo really delicious, and it has lead to my putting syrup on other foods where clearly syrup is not understood nor welcome. Like samosas. And cheeseburgers. Don't judge me, that shit is good.
I first bathed my food in this non-essential, socially unacceptable (not in my world, but whatever) condiment on my chicken fajita lean pocket sophomore year of college when my roommate, who was bulimic, drank the ketchup bottle after a frat party, then tossed it up on my lacrosse equipment travel bag full of uniforms and gear. I didn't eat ketchup again for 2 years and just used syrup instead. It was either that or the only other condiment in the apartment-duck sauce. And that's just wrong.
