A Slice Of Life.

torrain: What are you doing?

Me: I'm sorting nerds.

torrain: ... you're what?

Me: I'm sorting nerds. You know that big box of them I got? It was assorted, and that means all the flavours are mixed together. So I'm sorting them.

torrain: You have little baggies and everything!

Me: Well, yeah. How else should I store them? I don't have a spare little tupperware thing with partitions, and cleaning one of the toolbox trays would be overkill and I'd have no place to keep my tools.

torrain: This is adorable.

Me: Hush.



torrain: (on phone) Mo, my husband is sorting half a pound of nerds by colour.

Me: FLAVOUR.

torrain: (on phone) Oh, he says by flavour. But he's sorting nerds.

Me: This is normal. Shut up.

I'm sorting nerds.

Nerd sorts nerds?

(My alternative comment revolved around my actual thought when I'd only read that far, and was something like "you mean, Trekkies over here and cosplayers over there?")

because everyone knows if you sort nerds by color it would be racist...

For a given definition of normal.

Admittedly, miss_s_b does it with Skittles, but not into baggies, that's just weird.

I approve.

I really have to know the reason now. Do you get cravings for certain flavours only? Do you not like the taste when the flavours are mixed? Do you use them for cooking or decoration or some other activity where having the colours/flavours separate is preferable? What gave you the idea to separate them in the first place and why do you persist?

[kafziel.livejournal.com]

You misspelled flavor.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't use baggies except I had *so damn many* of them.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

I don't like mixing the flavours. It just tastes like discordant sugar when you do that, and eating them one at a time is a little disappointing too since they're so small.

So, having sorted them, I eat whichever flavour I want whenever I want that flavour.

OCD much?

CAPSLOCK TO MAKE SURE

[marlo.livejournal.com]

YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THIS, BUT THERE IS AN ENTIRE COUNTRY TO THE NORTH OF YOURS IN WHICH THE SPELLING IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT.

[dominitus.livejournal.com]

You know I've never even really thought about it that much. Now I feel like going out and buying two packs of nerds, just to test the difference between mixed flavours and separate flavours. :P

Don't you mean CDO, in alphabetical order AS IS RIGHT AND PROPER?

LOLOL

Okay you are right, the nation of Canada is a fictional invention of the bored newsmedia. When you cross America's northern border, you actually end up in--- ACK URRG ARGLE

NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD

[jenni411.livejournal.com]

I sort M&Ms. Of course it's normal.

...I'd hate to see what you'd do with a box of SweetTarts.

[wraith-mistress.livejournal.com]

That is awesome on so many levels

1. I have NEVER seen a half pound of Nerds.

2. Sorting is awesome.

3. The phone conversation and the interjections were perfect. I laughed to hard!

I think this would be something I would do if I ever came upon a large amount of nerds. Hell, when I get just the boxes that have two colors/ flavors. I have to take out the nomads that are on the wrong side and replace them on their own side.

I would have the strong urge to do the exact same thing.

Then I would eat specific flavors to eat in a particular saving my favorite for last.

I get the 7 oz. boxes at Walgreen's here in the USA.
