working on weaponising my ASD contrariness and defining my anxiety as being a stupid screeching monkey. Note that I am not stupid, the anxiety is a literal panicking monkey pulling on my hair and trying to make me do stupid things. Yes bitch. I am othering you. Because I do not like others trying to make me do shit (panic) that makes no sense because they’re idiots who want herd validation for their idiocy.

see how this works.

Feels. I fight my stupid brain everyday.

This is called self awareness. Might be worthwhile to watch Monkey on Netflix. Each of the animal spirits depicted are an aspect of human nature. Monkey is clever but also a bit wild. Clever monkey tries hard to control wild monkey but the nature of monkey is irrepressible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-SUoHmpRdM

I think I’ll watch a version of it. It always makes me a kinder gentler person ( but still ready to fight if I must )

This is gonna be a meal fantastic
Pasta, and a bombastic Salad Potastic
It’s a bargain and realistic
Can’t cancel potat, they’re not problematic
They’re charming, hot, sweet, charismatic
Eat potates and you’ll feel great, therapeutic
If you hate potates, I am unsympathetic
You’re missing out, bad vibes, unromantic
Hate potates, we cannot date, it’s pathetic
Give me potats, in men’s hats, neurotic
Varied looks but they all smell great, aromatic,
My love for potatoes is galactic, cosmic
Oh oh I’m a culty potato-fanatic
I always believed, never a skeptic
Erratic, measures drastic, complete lunatic
For the taste of orgasmic Salad Potastic!

The last few times I’ve been to Taco Bell they’ve thrown fistfuls of hot sauce packets into the bag for some reason, so I’ve been collecting them. I just put one of the ‘mild’ packets onto some baked beans and that was an EXCELLENT decision! Next time I’ll try the ‘fire’ one. Hot sauce on baked beans… whodda thunk it? (everybody)

Risotto was absolutely delicious. I normally add ham/bacon or diced chicken, this time I used some chicken mince. Plus mushrooms, pumpkin, dried tomatoes. Finished with a small amount of cream, parsley and parmesan. Tasted absolutely amazing.

I love risotto too but I don’t really cook it. I’m lazy and get the packet Continental risotto.
