the string cheese incident

heyyy-

i'd like to thank kate for inviting me to post my stories, adventures, and rants on this lovely blog. i think i will be a frequent contributor considering the fact that ridiculous things happen to me constantly. whether this is because a) i tend to do everything way too fast, b) i am just an idiot, or c) that's just the way it goes, i'm not sure. all i know is that the bad things that happen are usually extremely annoying and tend to make life just a little bit more difficult.

this one is kind of dumb now that i think about it, but its the reason kate asked me to write on this so here goes:

the other day i got home from class, tired and hungry for a snack. so i grabbed a stick of string cheese from the fridge and set it down on the table. as soon as i set down my cheese, my ADD tendencies caused me to notice that the plug-in air freshener was in the wrong socket, so i reached down to move it. no big deal, right? wrong. i opened my string cheese and put the first string into my mouth, only to find out my hand was covered in clean linen air freshener juice. now, i don't know if any one you have ever had the chance to experience this taste, but it is probably the worst one ever (btw, this is not the first time i have accidentally ingested air freshener juice). so now i'm starving and my mouth tastes like clean linen x1 million. so i go in the kitchen to clean up, wash my hands and mouth and get ready to settle into my string cheese eating again when i discover that the air freshener juice had somehow penetrated the entire stick of cheese and again, my mouth is infused with the fresh scent of linens courtesy of bath and body works. AND, i'm completely out of string cheese.

moral of the story: beware of air freshener oils. they are not for eating. wash hands thoroughly after handling anything from bath and body works. i cannot even eat string cheese without something going horribly wrong.
