Vanilla Ice Cream

Have you ever asked someone what their favorite flavor of ice cream was, and have you ever heard anyone say that vanilla happened to be their favorite?

I don't go around asking people what their favorite flavor of ice cream is, and i'm not asked that very often. It's only when i mention that i happen to be in love with ice cream, is when i'm asked the question. It's funny though, because for someone who loves ice cream, i've never thought about which flavor it is that i love that most.

(I just had a unrelated thought after writing that last sentence. When you love someone or something, you can't just pick one thing that you love absolutely the most -- such as how perhaps i love ice cream too much, so i can't just choose one flavor i love the most. Right? Am i right?)

People have asked me what my favorite flavor of ice cream was, and i almost always want to say vanilla or cookies and cream. Mostly because i eat a lot of ores mcflurrys, and vanilla ice cream cones from mcdonalds when i have a sudden craving for ice cream. Then i thought about it a little bit, isn't vanilla such a boring flavor?

I remember being young, and being asked this question amongst my peers in grade school -- you know, as ice breaker questions. It was actually the question, "if you could be any ice cream flavor, what flavor would you be?" Of course that would probably tie along with what is your favorite flavor, because who would want to be a flavor of ice cream they weren't fond of. Well anyways, i vaguely remember hearing my peers saying something along the lines of, "i wouldn't want to be vanilla because it's boring". Or whatever it was exactly, it had something to do with saying that vanilla is a boring flavor to be. Pretty much it. Everyone wanted to be strawberry or rocky road...something crazy and maybe exotic.

When i think of vanilla, i think that it is underestimated. Underrated. Not appreciated for what it is.
It seems like such a simple flavor, but yet it's so rich and is a delicacy. Not too sweet, and not too heavy. It isn't overwhelming, and you can mix it with nuts, oreos, strawberry/caramel/chocolate syrup. But it's still just so great on it's own.

Earlier today, i was eating ice cream and i told my friend via text that, "this ice cream is amazing". He asked me what flavor it was, and i told him vanilla. He then responded with, "Oh, haha i thought it was going to be a hella good flavor."

As if vanilla isn't generally categorized under "amazing".

I am vanilla ice cream. I don't know if i would say that by saying this, if i'm being conceited or am i being insecure to think i'm not better than vanilla. I want to say that for me, i am a simple person. There isn't too much about me, nor is there too much going on in my life. I am rich and pure vanilla ice cream. No nuts, oreos or flavored syrup sprinkled on top. I am a plain jane, and i'm okay with that. Because although, what i give off can be a "boring kathy" after a taste, i'm pretty great. Hehe. -- Don't take that the wrong way, please. Lol.

Every now and then, i am vanilla ice cream with some fun sprinkles on top.
