The Apple

She eats an apple every day.

We sit approximately three and a half feet from one another. She chews every fiber of the apple bit until it is pureed to a fine pulp. The eating continues. It is as methodic as any statistical analysis. Bite (very slow), chew (count to 100), swallow, repeat. She analyzes medical data in a spreadsheet all day. Her motions, besides the apple, are solely based on the scroll and right click keys of her mouse. The mouse is dark blue and silver. You can see the outline of her finger, even when she is not sitting there. Click, Click, Bite, Chew, Click, Click, Click.

euugh. this person disgusts me. "chew[s] every fibre", you say? that is simply repugnant--I myself am more of the "eat while you still have teeth and can feed yourself" school of apple eating--rushed, like a ravenous squirrle. How fun could it possibly be to be this apple eating, medical data processing woman, clicking woman?. It could be a lot of fun--as long as she had a very strong, inate sense of irony.
