For the most part I consider myself normal. Whatever that means. But I do have one slightly weird obsession. Maybe it is better considered an obsessive compulsive habit? I was reminded of it this morning as I ate my Gushers. That's right, I eat Gushers. They're like a childhood teleporter. Only, not really b/c I don't think my mom ever bought us Gushers for our lunches when I was growing up.
Anyway, my obsession is this. I have to eat things in pairs or combinations. But this only applies to colored candies, for instance, Skittles or M&Ms. Even if I just have a handful I find myself picking off the lone colors, or the colors that have more than any of the others until I have an equal number of each color. Then I eat one of each color at a time. Then, and this might make me weird, when I get down to only one of each color left I pair them up. Kind of like a color coordination marriage. Favorite combos:
Blue/Orange
Blue/Green
Blue/Yellow
Red/Green
Red/Brown (my least favorite, but you gotta eat the brown somehow)
Yellow/Orange
Purple/Green
You get the idea...

Not sure why I felt the urge to share this tidbit about myself.

That's fun. Things like that make us unique :) As far as childhood teleporters.. I eat cereals like Lucky Charms and Fruit Loops, mainly because we weren't bought sugary cereal, so it fun to get into something that makes me feel like a kid.
Thanks, Kristin! We were allowed to have sugary cereals, but not really fun snacks for lunches. So now I like to have them :)
I do the same thing. Also, if I get a box of lucky charms to treat myself I eat the marshmallows in order in each bowl. With M&M's if I'm down to just a few I will make color tiered pyramids in my hands too. It's more fun to be quirky :)
I pick off the loners as well and then the ones with more than the others. I also then eat one of each, but save my favs for last. So I'll intentionally start with one I don't like and then make sure I end on my fav. Glad I'm not the only odd one haha!
