I took several delectable photos for blog entries I planned to write today. Just wait, you'll see how truly delicious these shots are. But, because I failed to download the photos onto my laptop b/f heading over to my g-friends to shack, this stolen idea is all i've got. The premise is 5 things you probably don't know about me, which started here...but may also be found here, here, here, and and here.
These are mine:
1. From ages 6-9, my nightly routine included a walk-through my home to make sure the doors had been locked and the appliances turned off. Then, once I'd ensured everything was taken care of, I'd check once again (and sometimes one more time).
2. I spent all of my 8th grade year in "isolation" because my teacher couldn't get me to shut up.
3. My favorite snack as a child was a mayo, mustard, and ketchup hotdog without the wiener.
4. Most of my friends will never believe this, but social situations freak me out. I'm pretty sure this phobia largely contributed to my unhealthy drinking habits of my early 20s.
5. I've eaten chicken fried steak for breakfast nearly every day this month. Today is day 3 without the gluttonous treat!!! I think I've finally broken the cycle.

i also really hate social situations. if i know everybody or almost everybody, i'm okay, but i suck at the meet n' greet. i usually opt to stay home rather than do that. i'm incredibly shy and nervous and quiet with strangers.
and i repeat-eat all the time. not on vacation though. that's only because we usually eat out.
I worked as a research assistant for a professor during undergrad. She was amazing and very sweet.......one of the few non-freakish folks in the psychology department. Anyhow, when I would spot her coming down the hall, I'd duck into the nearest classroom to avoid any outside-of-work interaction. And still, I didn't realize I had social phobia until nearly 4 years later.
As for repeat-eating....curb-side take-out has changed my life.
regarding your list, my dear friend: (1)I also have an aversion to wiener's (also known as "tubesteaks with everything but the squeal"). Could this have been a clue predicting our prference for those without tubesteaks? (2) I just got out of "isolation": believe me, "time out" at age 50 sucks a lot harder than t.o. in the 8th grade! (3)I am living proof that 2, sometimes 3 nutty buddies a day does not lead to diabetes. However, I am waiting for my teeth to rot out.
You may choose to give up the chicken-fried steak, but they will have to pry the nutty buddies from my cold, dead, chocolate-covered hands. (4) Social shindigs also have freaked me out for much of my life, which explains why i went to college for 12 years (OK, maybe the fact that I am a world-class geek also factors into the school thing), and excessively drank throughout my 30's......OK, and my 40's....shut up,OK, I confess-- right up into my 50th year. It is amazing that my liver is not the size of Delaware. Hell, the Wild Turkey corporation should have sent me flowers in Rehab, at the very least! (5) I have never been accused of performing a "walk through" of any sorts, at any time of the day, for any reason. Quite honestly, there is no risk whatsoever that I can ever be diagnosed with an obsessive need to make sure that things are "taken care of"...my typical compulsivity involves making sure that i have on two shoes that match.
and by the way--Kate Winslet SO much does it for me....but Angie is still my favorite (Jolie, you know!).
Hey T.---How was this for my virgin blog-entry? You were my first. Was it good for you? I truly hope you enjoyed it! CJ
cj: I love it. After this weekend I'll have you up and running your very own blog. They are addictive, really. At least you were warned.
T....like i need another addiction. What next? Bloggers Anonymous? or perhaps "Hi, I'm CJ, and I'm a Nuttybuddy-aholic!" (I think that the Nutty Buddy helpline may be a number that i should keep on me at all times.)
Maybe Little Debbie Snackcake is in my future. One can only dream....me and Li'l Deb, riding off together in a peanut butter haze....life would be so good, don't you think?
and how many times did I use "also" in my 1st entry? I believe that spellcheck was also called for.....so sorry...cj
