67. When I was a kid, I used to think that recently deceased people tried to send us messages through pictures in the clouds, and that the amount of good they did in their lives directly correlated to their cloud-shaping abilities.
68. When my brothers and I were younger, we had a house-rule for Jenga that, while playing, the only word you could say was “Jenga”. We would chant it quietly while other people were taking their turns, switching up our volume and tempo and occasionally screaming it in order to trip them up.
69. I don’t like to eat much on days that I’m traveling. I’m not sure why. It makes me nervous, I guess. Probably stems from getting carsick a great deal as a child. I still get motion sickness more often than the average person. But really, any time I'm nervous I have difficulty eating. When I moved into college my freshman year, I couldn’t eat anything for two days.

I'm the opposite of you when travelling... I need to have a snack with me in my car whenever I go for a long ride - else I'd go mad :)
hunger is strange...
I tend to eat extra when I'm nervous, but the one time that I tend not to eat is when I'm extremely sad, especially if it's because of something that was unexpected, where I keep re-realizing that it actually happened. I get a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach, and I just don't feel hungry. It happened to me for a week or so this summer when my cat suddenly died.
To R.E.H. - Another weird thing about me: I always pack snacks for other people. *shrugs* No clue why I feel the need to play "mommy".
To Julia - Yeah, I've gone through bouts of not being hungry for long periods of time. It usually coincides with a time that I'm either underweight (I swear that when you're underweight, your body forgets how to be hungry) or I'm on medication (which alters appetite as an unfortunate side effect).
