doing weird things for many years

this is kind of obvious, but sometimes there are those moments that we have, as strange and ridiculous humans, when we suddenly realize certain things about ourselves that make us even more mystified - as in, we have an epiphany that leaves us further in the dark. The other day i was eating a hard-boiled egg, and i was made aware (or rather, i made myself aware) that the way that i most enjoy eating hard-boiled eggs is this: open the egg, eat the white part, and save the yolk for another time - and if there is an already-saved yolk from a previous episode of doing this, eat it - but AFTER having eaten the white.

why do i do this??? i have no idea. all i know is that i have been doing this for years. it's just the way that i like to eat hard-boiled eggs, and it's become something of a habit, as random as it may be. another window into more darkness...something of the sensation of confronting death in confronting these things about ourselves and touching the peripheries of our weird an unnknowable natures...humm.
