just realized today that i’ve been keeping an expired jar of pickles in my fridge for almost a year, like it’s a long-distance friend i’m waiting to reconnect with. every time i open the fridge, i smile and say “hello” to it. guess what, i don’t even like pickles. it’s literally just a conversation piece that nobody asked for.
it’s 11:47 a.m. and i just realized my coworker forwarded my secret message about hating the office snacks to the whole team. how do you even do that without losing your job? now every time someone asks if i want a rice cake, i just smile through the anxiety, while my crush is looking at me like i just joined a cult. and the kicker? they sent it the same day they announced that stupid lockdown sit...
so there i was, sorting through my collection of obscure board games for my weekly “let’s never play this” night. i proudly declared to my friends that they simply MUST experience the epic saga of “super penguin heist”. they looked at me like i had 12 heads, but i convinced them it was a groundbreaking artistic masterpiece. when they walked into the living room, expecting gourmet snacks, i proudly handed them sushi-flavored candy. i don’t think they’ll be back for round two.
