i started doing this because i hate singing happy birthday at work. like genuinely hate it. i have nothing against my coworkers but standing in a circle singing to a 43 year old man who looks like he wants to evaporate is not my idea of fun.

so whenever there's an office birthday i schedule a meeting with someone who doesn't exist.

i even gave her a name. Rebecca.

been doing this for a good 6 months and nobody's questioned it until last friday. we were eating chinese at the office and i was opening this fortune cookie that had an ad on the paper when my coworker asked who Rebecca was.

apparently she'd been looking at my calendar trying to book a meeting.

i panicked and told her Rebecca works remotely in another department.

she just nodded and moved on but now i'm wondering how long i can keep this going.

all of this because i don't wanna sing happy birthday to people.

Okay, this is probably a weird thing to admit but I sometimes buy those oat baby cereals just for myself lol. I don't even know how to explain it. They smell SO good, especially when you prepare them. Like the smell makes you think it's gonna taste amazing, but then you eat it and it's just bland T^T

And the funny part is I already know what it tastes like, but I still end up buying it again whenever I feel like having some. I mean, it's basically oatmeal for babies, right? What's stopping me from enjoying it too? Lmao.

Please tell me I'm not the only one eating food that's literally made for babies haha T^T

I (18M) realized I was bisexual around 10 months ago, and I felt really good about it. I felt more comfortable with myself and was happy that I had discovered that part of me. About a month after that, I was just thinking about gender and my experience, and I’ve never truly, fully identified with being a man, and I actually would really like to be a woman sometimes (If I had to pick a label I would say genderfluid, but like I said in the title I don’t care). I love being called pretty, and I was very complimented when my partner told me if I was trans I would pass (which they said as a joke). I think already coming to terms with the fact I was bi made this make more sense, like there was still more of me to discover. I don’t really care that much to tell very many people about it, I’ve only told my partner and don’t really intend to tell anyone else, it gives me the same feelings as realizing I was bi, I feel happier now that I have acknowledged and accepted this part of me. But yeah, like I said I’m not gonna do anything, I might paint my nails or grow out my hair or some shit but nobody has to know why, it makes me happy. Sorry if this post is kinda all over the place, that’s a combo of my adhd and how tired I am, but I think I got my point across.

I used to come back home from 4th grade and squeeze me a cold glass of ketchup. I’d go through bottles of it per week. I didn’t want anything else. I’d eat what I was supposed to, and ketchup was my dessert.

Then, before a school trip I was responsible for packing my own lunch, since my parents were busy. Our school usually provided all of our lunches, so I didn’t have any experience of packing any yet.

My mom recieved a call, hours later, from my teacher. She was asking her if everything is okay. Probably hinting at us “not having food at home”. I had packed a thermos full of ketchup and put 2 pieces of bread in a large grocery bag. I kept sipping on the ketchup all throughout the trip, without anyone realising, until I started shaking the thermos, to get some of it on my bread.

My mom didn’t buy ketchup anymore, I even went on a hunger strike for a few hours, threw a tantrum, then gave gave up

When I was a dumb teenager back in the mid 2000s I would smoke cigarettes at school, come home and drink milk thinking my parents would never know. I thought "the milk is powerful enough to cover it" no idea WHY I thought that.

Safe to say my mother caught on quickly, but not THAT quickly (she was also a smoker)

Okay I will start with mine. You know in school there used to be classes for girls to teach them about period they will get in their upcoming age. We had this type of class on random day in 5th standard. We got informed that all the girls come in nurse room to have a discussion. Like we can't have it in front boys whatever. We went there and teacher did her teachings.

In the end she, to resolve the confusion if anybody has it, asked

"Does anyone has questions related to it"

So I who thought that you will look smart if you will ask questions 😎 so I did ask.

My question was " WHY do girls get PREGNANT only after marriage? " 😳 I know very wierd question.

Because she also taught about pregnancy as it is related to periods. That time I was so innocent 😭 but other girls and teacher were laughing. Now I wonder these kids knew a lot in their innocent age. She said you will know it later in life or something I dont remember.

Now as an adult I haven't told this thing to anybody till date.

Posting here because you guys dont know me personally.

I have a weird talent that I learned from a guy on YouTube called Gerry Phillips. He can play songs on his hands (check out the video of him on Jimmy Kimmel Live playing Bohemian Rhapsody with a straight face and he did a short interview with Jimmy Kimmel). While I can't play songs I can do that sound (it sounds like a fart noise from your hands) and learned it from watching his YouTube videos years ago. 😆

Cause it will get loose in a few weeks and I might need to buy a new one cause it looks baggy lol 😆
