freecycle

is it weird…
that i love the taste of prunes?
that i don’t shower every day?
that it creeps me out when people blow their nose while sitting on the toilet?
that i like peeking into people’s houses at night as i drive by to see what they’re doing?
that i find it comforting to have old things around?
that i love the idea of a pantry filled with big mason jars of stuff all lined up in a row?
that i practice my ASL fingerspelling with license plates and street signs as i drive around?
that i LOVE the smell of freshly cut grass?
that i think picking pieces of chicken off the whole chicken tastes better then if you cut a piece for your plate?

i don’t know. i was thinking some of that was pretty weird.

but is it weird al weird?
