So let's clear the air-I'm weird!
I don't like pizza, I don't like cheese, I don't like popcorn, I don't like mac n cheese, I don't like deli or sub sandwiches, I don't like potstickers, I don't like egg rolls, and I don't like The Strokes or Dave Matthews Band. Oh, and I don't like rice.
I love grapefruit, I love spicy food, I love cream cheese sandwiches, I love chocolate syrup sandwiches, I love chocolate hazelnut spread, I love Howie Day, I love Chevelle, and I like an occasional dose of Phil Collins or an occasional slice of fruit cake.
People always look at me weird should I ever make any one of the above statements-that makes me wonder how many of you thought I should be put in a mental asylum with those two paragraphs.
I really don't see what is so great about pizza and why everyone should love it. If I had it my way, everyone would worship the grapefruit or make every meal so spicy that it makes a person's ears throb.
And just because I'm Asian, that doesn't mean that I must like rice. Sure, I'll eat it, but growing up having it at least twice everyday-it gets kind of boring.
Oh, and every rocker should like The Strokes, if you're a true rocker. Okay, sure, maybe I'm not a true rocker, but I just don't like The Strokes. To me, they are dull, I can't hear their vocals, and they are not at all creative with how they should end their songs.
Also, yes I'm in college and yes, I like adult contemporary, but should I love Dave Matthews Band? I sure hope not. While I do like a few of DMB's songs, I can't listen to it all day.
So this is what I think: sure, I'm weird, but that's no worse than being so picky that my food can't touch or that I must never hear as DMB song. I'd just rather not if I had another choice.
