I have an imaginary string that trails behind me. If my mind is busy and I walk somewhere and have to walk back, it's not a problem. If, on the other hand, I'm thinking about my string, I have to walk back the exact way I went somewhere so my string doesn't get tangled up. I'm 47, and I've only recently admitted this to my therapist. I wonder how many people have watched me spin in a circle, then spin the opposite direction "for absolutely no reason."

Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

Sometimes I do this weird thing with the muscles in my leg, I’ll tense the muscles “to the beat” of words or phrases, with syllables. Starting with my right leg, then on to the left, it’s sort of like (1 for tensed 0 for relaxed) 01 11 10 00 and repeat for each syllable. I also try to “configure” which leg is already tensed so that it will be 00 by the time the word is done. For example, the word “syllable” starting at 00 would be 01 11 10, but if I start at 01 it would be 11 10 00. No clue why I do this, but it’s fun. Just a very strange thing I do. Never really found the words to describe it until now.

I HATE hot food (hot as in temperature, not hot as in spicy.) You know how when you go out to a restaurant and they bring you your just-cooked meal and it's steaming, burning hot? Yeah, I hate that. I hate burning my mouth on food and I can't fathom why people WANT to eat food when it temperature-burns their mouth. I don't want my food cold or even room temperature, I just want it a LITTLE less than freshly molten-hot. My family and my boyfriend think I'm psychotic. I'd rather wait 5 minutes for things to cool off just a little so that I can TASTE my food instead of tasting only pain and suffering. My family members will cheerfully cram molten food in their mouth the second it arrives, then open their mouths and wave their hands around going "ooh ooh hot hot hot that's hot" ...like maybe JUST WAIT A MINUTE for it to cool? But they treat me like I'm nuts for not liking burning-hot food XD
