It is, unfortunately, writing shit out.
Good grief.
I do have the option to decline at least.
I mean, that's something. I still think they ought to have a limit! "Nope, Jessica is full up. Move along."
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Fascinating!
Now I want to re-read that UKL story, Solitude, if only to make sure that it doesn't mention square poop (I am pretty sure it does not, but not 100%)

Unrelated to anything, but: Freeze-dried backpacking meals are a comfort food for me, and Mountain House had a Black Friday sale that brought the price/meal down to around where my normal grocery budget lives so I bought several bulk cans of various things, including one I had not tried before but seemed intriguing. Namely, Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bowl. It's been my I-need-to-eat-but-nothing-sounds-good meal for the past week. It's kind of like pizza in stew form? Not something I think I will find myself craving, but maybe the closest thing to Bachelor Chow I've come across. I imagined Bachelor Chow to be something you just poured in a bowl and ate and this requires boiling some water, stirring, and waiting 9 minutes, but still pretty close

Namely, Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bowl.
This reminds me of Pizza-in-a-Cup from the Steve Martin movie The Jerk.

I did not remember that. Possibly inspired by!

Is there anywhere we are talking Heated Rivalry? Not sure I have much to actually say other than “squeeeeee!” But.

Also I absolutely want bachelor chow. I want it to be crunchy. Protein bars and shakes and stuff aren’t crunchy.
