It might be sick. But there are things I love... that I know aren't terrible, but that are still a little creepy. So, here's my fess-up...
- I love Law & Order. LOVE. B and I watch Law & Order together on Netflix. We enjoy the one-liners from Detective Lenny Briscoe, certain defendants, predicting the outrageous antics of Jack McCoy, admiring Assistant District Attorney Jamie Ross and discussing the cases.
- I love reading about surgery. It's really, really amazing that doctors can cut someone open and fix them, sometimes. Here's a secret: nurses help! There are scrub nurses and circulating nurses, and nurse anesthetists, and others. Surgery is as sterile as can be (though, really -- we're filthy dirty things, us people -- nothing is really clean.) and the rules to keep it sterile are really strict and serious. This semester I get to stand-in (I don't think there's any sitting in surgery) on a surgery.
- I love to read People magazine.
- I could get up to dance and sing to The Little Mermaid and Beauty & the Beast (which stars Detective Briscoe -- no joke!). In fact, after visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium on our honeymoon, B and I listened to the Little Mermaid soundtrack on our way to our next stop. I'm proud to say I know all the words to many of the Little Mermaid songs, and I have since I got a tape of the soundtrack for Christmas in 1990 (along with some awesome markers).
- I like to eat peanut butter off a spoon. I typically make my own peanut butter, which is sick and totally grosses most people out. My peanut butter is just peanuts. Seriously. I take a bag of peanuts and grind 'em up in my food processor. It's gritty and peanut-y -- nothing else. I like to eat a spoon with breakfast -- it keeps my blood sugar levels even and gives me a nice dose of protein. But I know that's skeevy to some people, so here it is.
- While we discuss food, I love candy. My dad does too. Maybe it's genetic. I don't eat a ton of candy, obviously, but I love the 25 cent boxes of Ferrara Pan candies from corner stores or bodegas. It's hard to find places that sell Lemonheads, Red Hots, Orange Heads and such, but those spots are my favorite. I'm a loyal customer to any place that sells these treats. The candies are the best for walks. I like to open a box in my pocket or in my shoulderbag pocket, then grab a candy one by one as I move. I swear Ferrara Pan confers magic walking powers.

Ha! I'm obsessed with surgery too! well, mostly lapriscopic (sp?) surgeries. I got to sit in a couple when I was a Chaplain. It was FASCINATING to watch the Dr work. It was like some sick video game. Completely made my summer. I'm glad I'm not alone in my crazy fascination.
