a lot of random junk in my head - i think better when i clear it out.  so here's some of my brain trash.

i love processed meat. 

yes.  i love it all.  hot dogs, spam, salami.  it's probably b/c they are 75% fat and contain more cancer causing agents than radioactive waste.  but it's so delicious.  have to say though...not such a big fan of vienna sausages.  those little canned dogs no longer float my boat.  probaby ate too many of them in elementary school when my mom would pack them in my lunch with pieces of white bread and other canned goods.  thinking about my gastronomical history, it's shocking i wasn't obese by 13.  maybe it was because my lunch box was so heavy that i burned calories.

smells at the gym

i am not a fan of my gym [bally's @ porter].  it is quite possibly the smallest and dirtiest gym i've ever been a member of - plus there are never enough machines for people to use (i've had to wait in line for a treadmill).  however, it's not those two things that have been bothering me recently - it's much more people that are running on the next treadmill over and have B.O. that is so nas-tay that you are kind of knocked out for a while.  i've had to stop once and move to a different machine because i couldn't take the air-violation from the man next to me.  seriously...i know people smell when they sweat, and it seems stupid to complain about smells in the gym (duh) but i need clean air to run!  and the gym in general smells like a trash can.  *sigh*

obsessive listening

i have a bad habit of listening to a song that i like over and over.  my brother thinks this causes "song burn out" in which i will stop listening to songs faster because i get tired of them.  but if i really like the song, even three months later i will find it again and put it back on continuous repeat.  and then some songs, it takes me forever to like them, but then i like them forever.  sexyback is a good example of that.  what kind of person does this make me? 

i am not good

believing that i am good is my ultimate downfall.  trying to change myself into something better is another problem.  i'm still thinking through this idea, but i'll get back to it later.

my company has been very proactive with installing "economically friendly" appliances and technology in order to make our buildings more "green" (sorry - this is buisness jargon spillover). anyway, our bathrooms have the autoflusher for the toilets.  most people know what these things are, and if you're OCD like me, you love them b/c that means you don't have to touch the yucky toilet.  i'm a big fan of things that keep me from touching anything in a public bathroom.

one drawback becomes the fact that you start forgetting to flush after you go.  it should be instinctual, but i spend a very large portion of my waking life at work and with these toilets.  it's like un-learning a trained habit!  but i've notice that i've started to forget to flush in places that have no auto-flusher.  it's quite embarrasing.  especially if there is someone who immediately goes in after you, and you're like...wait...i just remembered that i didn't flush!  but it's not like you can tell them to get out.  they'll just continue to think you're a slob.  and rude.

i'm really hoping one day that it doesn't happen to me in a place where the person is my manager.  or really...just anyone i know.  any i really hope i don't start doing it at home.  although i think i have done it before.  =P
