It's hard not to get addicted to food. My parents threw almost everything at me when I was a kid so I wouldn't grow up to be a picky eater, and now the world's my plate. Literally. Ever had one of those lollipops with the crickets or spiders in 'em? But I'm also addicted to running, so it seems like a fair trade.

Man, modesty is for people who don't have much to be proud of.

[] Donuts did me in. My mom was the exact opposite so when I moved out I was finally able to make my own meal decisions.

No. I haven't tried those. I was always a little scared. Are they any good?

[] ...oh my lord. I like you. You're okay.

...Donuts sound pretty amazing right now.

They taste just like the lollipop that they're in. My favorite was always the blue one with the scorpion in it, because who doesn't love blue raspberry flavored scorpions? And fresh crickets taste kind of like nuts. The texture is the only thing weird about eating them.

I'm almost insulted that I only warrant an 'okay'. But I'll live, I suppose.

....I think I may have to go get some now.

Somewhere. [] People talking about them always makes me want some.

[] But is it weird...eating bugs? And you're more then okay. I'll say it. If Pressed.

I would, but I know if I brought any home they would disappear mysteriously the moment I turned my back, even though my housemates all swear up and down that they don't like donuts.

I don't think it's weird, but I've been doing it since I was a kid. I hesitate about eating tarantulas, but that's only because I keep a bunch as pets and I don't like the idea of possibly eating urticating hairs.

[]

....I never ate bugs. I played with bugs. NEver ate bugs. That was my brother.

Yeah, that's what boys are for. Being disgusting and covering everything in grime, according to my sister.

well I wouldn't go that far. I mean my brother was always kind of a jerk but you love them anyway.

Besides. He's a fire fighter now. He could kick my ass easily.

You must have been a nicer sister than mine ever was. And she's still a bitch, even though I could feed her to my pets if I wanted to.

I was almost ten years younger then him. I didn't have a choice.

[] ...big plans to get even on siblings. Those I remember. Of course now they involve spoiling my brothers kids.

I'm nine years younger than my sister, but I'm pretty sure she hated me from the get-go. I love spoiling my nephews too, because it only makes her angrier.

They hate that. My brother's got two little boys and a girl and they're spoiled rotten already but it's a good way to get him back.

And her too I suppose. wouldn't you agree?

She hates it because she doesn't want me to interact with them at all, but I'm on fairly good terms with my brother-in-law so he passes everything on to them.

It would be a crime to not corrupt my nephews anyway. They're going to grow up believing Batman to be one of their gods, one way or another.

[] Mine worship at the church of Bratz Dolls and Spiderman. Although lately Christina's been asking for something called "Monster High" kids which are apparently Bratz monsters.

Children are weird. [] Anyway. Your sister sounds like a terrific bitch.

Spider-Man is almost as good as Batman, but I can't support Bratz dolls. Or monster Bratz dolls. They looked pretty freakish in the first place.

There really are no words that describe the true level of her bitchiness. But it's so easy to jab at her that I almost don't mind everything she's done.

A love and hate relationship huh? Easy to poke fun at but what she's done is unforgivable? Sounds like my mother.

Pretty much! All the women in my family are fucking nuts. I don't know how my dad puts up with it.

Most women are a little nuts. It comes in the handbook we get.

Mind telling me where your kind keep this handbook? 'Cause that's something I'd like to get my hands on.

[] Programmed in unfortunately. Like windows.

Figures, but it's probably for the best. I'm sure it would have been a whole bunch of TMI anyway. Some mysteries don't need answers.

Those incredible details that make girls both amazing and the most annoying creatures on the planet?

[] I'm Felicity.

I don't know about amazing...but I can agree with the annoying thing wholeheartedly.

[Shakes her hand] Rayce, nice to meet you.
