Sometimes, I'm so Monk. Just now, presented with a bowl of milk chocolate hearts, wrapped in foil - some pink, some silver - I had to take a pink one. Why? So that the number of pink ones left in the bowl would equal the silver.
Posted by Shokufeh at February 17, 2006 06:05 PMi think that might be better than my compulsion of taking two. because if i eat just one, i eat it on one side of my mouth and then the other side feels left out. i must always have 2.
Posted by: meisa at February 18, 2006 10:55 AMI do the same thing, Shokufeh. hehe.

Posted by: mademoiselle a. at February 19, 2006 10:47 AMShok, I so get that. I'd probably do the same thing.
Emily, you and your freaky dictionary ways are just crazy, though.
Posted by: Julia at February 21, 2006 10:06 AMhello shofukeh... i just wanted to know that i received your wonderful gifty package in the mail today! so fun! i looooove the crane fabric!
thanks so much! let me know when you get yours and what you think. :)
Posted by: michelle at February 21, 2006 03:30 PMI get it too! Totally makes sense. =)
Posted by: Giao at February 23, 2006 10:37 PMNever seen Monk (but Tony Shalhoub is Lebanese-American, like me) but I totally get that too. And I'm worse. If I need to stop the microwave sooner than the set amount of time is up (say, if a tofu dog is about to asplode) I am compelled to stop it on a multiple of five. If I happen to miss it, I wait until the next window of opportunity. Weirdness.
