What are the contents of your snack drawer? What do others think they say about you?

This came about because we were in Starbucks this morning and I was, once again, reverting to my old barista habit of psychoanalyzing people by their drinks (this morning's doozie: grande soy two-pump with-whip mocha).

So. Psychoanalyze your snack drawer! Psychoanalyze mine! It's Wednesday.

1. Banana custard Pocky
2. One large drum container of dried apricots
3. Quaker Weight Loss oatmeal -- cinnamon and brown sugar
4. Anna's ginger thins
5. Chestnut Pocky
6. TLC cherry dark chocolate granola bar
7. ThinkThin brownie crunch bar
8. Whole Foods strawberry cereal bar
9. Quaker Simple Harvest granola bar (cranberry apple)
10. Maruchan Ramen Instant Lunch (chicken)
11. 1 red banana
12. 1 mini-pack of organic chocolate chip mini-cookies
13. Girl Scout thin mints
14. Organic rye and flax crackers

... does Banana custard Pocky taste like it sounds? O.o

It's actually freakily like REAL BANANA CUSTARD. In a POCKY.

I've never had banana custard! Maybe I will learn through Pocky.

*dangles them*

COME TO THE OFFICE, Jiiiiii.

Actually, do you want an internship this summer? It's unpaid... but you would have us!

-- MAYBE YES. Is there information about it online? I'm applying for other ones in DC, so the prospect of staying is not 100% out of the question anymore. :)

I do not know if there is information available yet -- it wasn't up yesterday when I went to get it -- but we're www.publicforuminstitute.org .

PS going to work now (boo!) so responses will be late. I am sure you are busy with the Starbucks thing anyway <3 byeee

grande soy two-pump with-whip mocha

Uh. That is my drink.

>.>

See, but that makes so much SENSE! You're a hedonist who is intelligent enough to know that she should be health conscious, but at the same time does not want a drink that tastes overly sweet or otherwise shitty. You're introspective and you think too much in general.

:D It works every time.

...

You frighten me. XD

[link] [parent] [reply]

Oh, and you add the whipped cream because if you're going to PAY FOR THIS COFFEE, you're going to TREAT YOURSELF. SO THERE.

I'm sorry. It's a science. RESPECT MY SCIENCE. :P

[link] [parent] [reply]

I respect and fear your science, because you got me in a nutshell. @_@

*dances evilly among the espresso beans*

You can do it with almost anyone's drink, actually. I only get stuck on tall coffees, because that's usually a socieoeconomic or cultural choice and you have to know the person.

[link] [parent] [reply]

*is fascinated*

*points to self* Tall decaf latte?

[link] [parent] [reply]

You have more important places to put your funds -- even your frivolous discretionary funds -- and prefer things to be clear and straightforward. You are most interested in the social rituals surrounding 'having a coffee' -- because you don't need the caffeine or a lot of the beverage to feel included in these rituals.

*cackles delightedly* Your science, it is awesome.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I think it's a function of being there for 5 years with NOTHING TO DO WITH MY MIND.

*shifty eyes* tall skim peppermint mocha, no whip?
this analysis you do is pretty much the most amazing thing ever.

[link] [parent] [reply]

You have a critical self-image, but you don't need too much of a good thing to be happy and recognize that life's good when it is, and you're amenable to trying new things just for whimsy.

My snack drawer is sad and pathetic at the moment, since I've been bad about bringing my lunch lately and as such I've eaten most of my snacks (the last of the box of whole wheat matzo was consumed yesterday). But as far as tea goes....

- 1 nearly full box of China Green Tips, Tazo brand
- 1 nearly full box of Earl Grey, semi-generic blend
- A dozen bags of peppermint tea, Tazo brand (it was on sale)
- Half a 40g packet of Marumaru green tea powder (from Japan!)
- One bag of "Breakfast Americana" tea (given to me by a well-meaning friend)

I drank the last of my Lapsang Souchong yesterday morning, or I'd list that as well. I'm good for now, since I know I have a full box of mint tea waiting for me at home when I use up these bags.

People have snack drawers? Where do I get one!

We just have the pantry, the spice cupboard, and the fridge. R doesn't really do the whole "cooking" thing, and I shop at a bodega under the El, so snacks don't often make it onto the list.

Can I have your snack drawer? :D

Hey! My reply never posted! Yes, you can have my snack drawer, as soon as banana custard Pocky learn how to teleport. :D

Mmm, teleporting Japanese snacks....
