i've been experiencing this issue lately. the only trident available at the gum purchasing time was cinnamon. i also chew it in leu of not having anything else. however.... ugh.

i like cinnamon on occasion.... maybe my mouth is retaliating because it's not winter.

i think that stanieldaniel has some bread and cheese in the fridge. for meat, you're on your own. unless you want peanut butter.

i dunno! i'm thinking that maybe it's because i had lived in a place where there was no true autumn for so long (well, phoenix, of course.) the leaves would just kind of turn .. dull.. and fall off the trees almost at once in mid december. the first fall that i had back up here, i was completely freaking AMAZED. i gawked like a bumpkin on every walk to work and tried to mentally permanently capture the visions of beauty in every tree. and the SCENTS! i hadn't smelled autumn in YEARS, and it was so freaking fantastic. suddenly, i was filled with nostalgia for trick or treating as a kid, of anticipation for Christmas parties, for thanksgiving, and everything that was family.

so i guess that's why.

plus, the overwhelming heat of the summer (something i cannot STAND) and direct sunlight (again, cannot stand) is pretty much over.

*spits tea at desk*<br< Between the icon and the random thought, that was just too funny..

drat! you stole my question! lol!

and as a bonus answer, i shall respond to this to tell you where aubkabob came from.

i have a best friend in phoenix named peyton. he used to make up all sorts of odd nicknames for me. one day, i came out of my work to realize that some time before, he had scritched 'GOOD MORNING, AUBKABOB!' in my window in the dust. i laughed heartily because of how fabulous it sounded, and it sort of stuck as a handle.

yellow socks with black bats, black toe and heels, and with a giant black cat on the sides with an evil grin that says "BOO!" on it.

i wish i could get off me arse and do what i need to do in order to go back to school before it's too late for the winter semester.

and i was always wondering that meself. we have a tv in our breakroom at work, and the judge shows are always on during our lunches, so it's become a bit of a guilty pleasure for all of us officemax workers. i watch in horror as they are all.. guh. first of all, lying through their teeth in obvious places, and also so DISRESPECTFUL to the judge. i am appauled! i would never dream of being such a jerk to a person who holds my freaking FATE in their hands!!

hee hee, now you've got me THINKIN!

mwa ha haaa.

depends upon if i'm currently watching my carbs or not. if i am, i drink a breve with a sugar free syrup. if not, then just about anything goes, although since i quit drinking coffee (i was maaaassively addicted, so it was a necessity.), i tend to go for something that isn't quite so caffeinated.

i LOVE hot tea lately. YUM.

i don't belong to any of the houses, i'm part of the staff!

i often wondered if i could somehow work out my psychic ability areas of the brain by working them out, like mental push ups.
