Popcorn Monster

Those of you who know me are well aware that my favorite snack is popcorn.  My dad makes fun of me because I can't eat one kernel at a time, resulting in popcorn falling on my shirt.  Amanda jokes that I eat popcorn so messy that it looks like shavings of popcorn are flying out of my mouth.  I'm pretty sure I'm not that bad, but I love popcorn.

I was in heaven the week of finals because Utah State had popcorn all day, everyday...FOR FREE!  And it was the good stuff too. So every single day that week I would walk to the TSC on my way to class (or back) and grab some popcorn.

On Friday I had a final, so I stopped and got popcorn after the final, but before I turned in my research paper for my Young Adult Literature class.  As I walked to my professors office, I munched on my popcorn. There was nobody around so I didn't hold back when eating my popcorn.  I was dropping popcorn all down the front of me making it was fall onto the sidewalk.  Every time it fell I would just think "Oh the birds will eat it." or "It's biodegradable."

On my way back, I noticed how much popcorn was on the sidewalk.  At first I thought, "there's no way that's all from me....no, I'm pretty sure that's all from me."  I was kind of laughing at myself by now. As I turned the corner to go to the bus stop there was a group of people standing and waiting.  I popped one more mouthful of popcorn into my mouth before I came too close to the group, but I was close enough that they could still see me.  One kernel of popcorn escaped my mouth and slipped into my tank top.  It was an automatic reaction to reach down my shirt and pull it out, but I quickly realized what I was doing and stopped.  I was right by the group now, and had a huge piece of popcorn stuck just above my belly button.  I was about to shake it loose when I realized that my tank top was tucked into my pants.  I was out of luck.  I had to leave it until I was in the privacy of my own apartment.

I sat through the whole bus ride home with a popcorn bulge in my shirt.

I guess you can call me the popcorn monster.
