Another absurd story. I have a friend obsessed with condiments–she’s always putting ranch, seasoning, or most importantly, soy sauce, on her food. She recently told me, “You know, my friend ordered us some Chinese food, and she got these dumplings. They came with the best soy sauce, and lots of it. It’s way better than regular soy sauce. I can’t believe I’ve been ordering General Tsao’s chicken for so long when I could’ve been ordering these dumplings with this soy sauce. So you know what I did? I put all the extra soy sauce in a water bottle and I carry it in my bag. Now when the dining hall has no more soy sauce, not only do I have some, but the best kind.” read more

I’m always baffled by how people can simultaneously insult and compliment me. Earlier today, a teacher approached me about an article I wrote for the school paper. She verbatim said to me, “I mean, I wasn’t on the edge of my seat, but I was definitely engaged reading it!” Thanks? I’m so glad my article was interesting, but not that interesting, to you.
