A couple of anecdotes...?

[ltgmars]

Firstly, my love for playing with words and sounds... out loud.

at Hacienda today (we went there for lunch)
[Daddy mentions something about how his normal burrito looks just as wet as my wet burrito.]
Daddy: (to Mommy) What did you get again?
Mommy: Quesadilla. Casi-dilla. (happily) Kasih dia punya kamu! ("Give him what's yours!")
Me: *looks up from wet burrito, sighs, and looks down at plate again*

parallel conversation (a week or so ago)
[during a conversation about people who don't inhale smoke from cigars/pipes but who keep it in their mouths]
Claire: What they didn't realize about keeping smoke in their mouths is that it still causes cancer.
Me: Car-ci-no-gen-ic.
Claire: I know what the word is.
Me: Oh, I know. I just wanted to say it funny.

And then there's my affinity for slightly gross/disturbing humor when I'm uninhibited. I'm rarely inhibited since I apparently have no shame, though, so that's where my mother and I differ. At least she has the common sense to mince her words (i.e. keep strange/creepy humor out of the conversation) when she's supposed to. And at least she can switch languages in the middle of her stupid comments... I speak in English, and too many people know Spanish, and I don't know enough Japanese, and no one knows Indonesian (myself included). ._.

also at Hacienda today
Mommy: Ooh, habanero sauce. (to Daddy) Pa, why didn't you use any? Try some and see if you [get diarrhea].
Me: Oh God... *leans head against wall and laughs*

parallel conversation (before English class earlier this week)
Caitlin: I'm hungry~... Does anyone have any food for me?
Me: Caitlin, if you were a cannibal, we'd all have food for you.
Caitlin & the entire English class (though I think Rae gave me an indulgent "ahuhhh" laugh): ...

And last but not least, my dorkiness. Though I share this with quite a few of you out there. XD

at the doctor's office on Thursday
Daddy: *looks up from Sudoku book* So, you know these Sudoku things? They're fun. I was sick with the flu one day, so I just did an entire book of them, and I figured out a system that worked for all of them. The downside, though, is that the "easy" ones take just as long as the "hard" ones to figure out. But I got another Sudoku book, "Sudoku Hell" or something like that, and I tried my system, and guess what! It didn't work!! But I developed an even more effective system, and I tried it, and it worked. And I'm sure it'll work all the time now. I have it figured out such that I could write a computer program to solve them if I wanted to. *takes a breath* Sudoku is fun if you like math. Well, it's not really math, it's more like logic. But they're fun. *goes back to Sudoku*
Me: ...

And I don't think I need to find a parallel conversation for this one. Just take any one of the many times I've nearly hyperventilated at the lunch table talking/squealing about Tenimyu, or one of the times I've countered every one of Beth's tangents in the "Tangent Game" with something long and complicated related to anime, or maybe one of the long-winded Gilmore Girls scenarios I've spelled out for Claire line-by-line (with a few "Oh, I have to explain this part, too, because it's so cute, but it goes back a few episodes... But we have time for it, right?"s interjected), or just consider the fact that I was the only girl in Computer Science and that I finished at the top of the class with something like a 107.3% average...

Or maybe just look at my frickin' LJ to see proof that I'm just as dorky as the best of 'em.

My parents are really funny people when it's just the family (otherwise, they try too hard to be... normal (and my mom tries too hard to be sweet and "cool" around my friends... what a frickin' joke. I know what you're really like, Mother!)). Really, I spend half the time loving them, half the time hating them, and half the time cursing them for my bizarre personality. And then I spend another half the time realizing that I invest far too much time into thinking about my parents. XD
