Alex, go to bed. No really. Don't make an LJ post. Go to bed! GO TO BED.

So, all you people who told me that I totally had to watch due South?

OH MY GOD WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN ME. "THE EGGMAN" IS LIKE THE MOST HORRIFYING THING I'VE EVER WATCHED! THEY DUNKED THE GUY IN RAW EGG OH MY GOD.

RAW EGG! I HAD TO LIE IN A DARK ROOM FOR LIKE AN HOUR! YES I HAVE ISSUES! BUT DUDE! COMPLETELY SUBMERGED! RAW EGG!!

Other than the egg thing, it's like the best show ever, for real, but dude. EGG.

Nothing can make that better. Not even baby!Mark Ruffalo or baby!Amanda Tapping or beautiful Mounties who make better women than me. NOTHING.

(I am incredibly tired and am running on very little sleep so if this makes no sense it is because I am very very tired, and very very very disturbed by the thought of being submerged in raw egg.)

I'm going to be perfectly frank: I have an egg phobia.

To the point that I was in the grocery store yesterday with my mother, and I picked up the egg carton to put it on the conveyer belt, and there was some egg smeared on the outside of the carton and I literally froze up, completely unable to cope, and Mom was like, "What?!" and I held up my hand and squeaked, "EGG!" and she was all, "OMG WIPE YOUR HAND ON MY SLEEVE" and I was all "I CAN WIPE IT ON MY OWN SLEEVE" and she was all "IT'S OKAY, REALLY, JUST USE MY SLEEVE" and yeah, trauma.

So watching this episode was kind of like watching a preview of hell. So to speak.

Oh wow.

...So, can you eat eggs or cook them...? I don't want to act like a jerk because I don't know the exact premise of your phobia.

I can eat them and cook with them-- I'm just very unhappy doing so. Although it's much easier to force down hard-boiled eggs than scrambled.

I mean, I can make cakes and stuff, but the egg has to be totally blended in.

I know, I know, it's like a totally insane thing to have issues about. But Alfred Hitchcock had an egg phobia, so at least I'm in good company, right? And his was way worse than mine-- he couldn't even look at eggs without freaking out.

Ah, okay. Does it also work if nobody tells you that there's egg (at least any bit that's visible) in a dish?

...And I did not know that about Alfred Hitchcock. Wow. Very good company then.

It really doesn't matter, as long as I cant taste the egg, because then I can pretend that there isn't any egg. :P
