I'd love to do an all-expenses stay somewhere beautiful one day. Might do something Caribbeaney or Colombiaey once COVID is a memory.

Ooh, what are the other 4 places?

I'm a big old cheapo, and I've had some absolute nightmare hostel experiences as a result. xD

NZ was mostly good, though. I've never been to Vietnam, though!

When I eventually make it back to NZ in 2027 or whatever, I'll chef for you in exchange for not having to rent out a hostel room xD

Although Wellington hostels were actually pretty nice, to be fair. Definitely among the best I had.

At least you feel popular now, right? I'm doing a good thing(?).

tbh same here for ages. I only really got into it properly this year after realising I spent literally all my money on Uber for the previous 3 years xD

chicken and mushroom soup with rice tomoz and i cannot feckin wait god i love eating so much

I realise I've now given us two consecutive conversations.


Everyone's a terrible cook to begin with. I just do what the recipe says and it tends to work pretty good. Made a quinoa berry salad with citrussy chicken the other day, and it was fully orgasmic.

It's also the oldest form of alcohol, which is cool! Who doesn't love history?

Boooo! The making is the cooking; it's like a lovely song or a dance that you get to play around with plus, once you've had your fun, you get to eat tasty things! What's not to love?

It is! I love mead. You like honey? You like booze? Boom, here's a treat for ye!

I'm so impatient to get to the consumption, mind: actually fermenting it all is torture.

I make mead! You should visit and I shall ply you with many variations; my metheglin is basically done, and I'll be putting on a cyser, a traditional sweet, and a summer berry melomel over the next couple weeks that'll all be very drinkable by summer.

I mean, hey, you make do with what you can and that sounds pretty dope given your limitations. You pass.

I love it. I had three bottles of mead, and it was delicious. What game you on? I recently started MGSV, which is my first Metal Gear game. Is fun! I also recently finished Inscryption, and it was DOPE.

NEVER. I WILL BECOME SEXY.

Mmmm... glorious pizza. I want pizza now, god damn it. What pizza you get? (our friendship depends on you getting the right answer)

My roommate returned from his hometown Christmas Eve to ensure I wasn't alone for Christmas, which was really lovely of him. We had a dinner with our friend that Eve, then Christmas Day proper I ate leftovers, messaged family, had a call with sister, then roomie and I took mushrooms and watched The Night Before. It was a very pleasant day, overall.

I've put on, like, 3lbs over the past 2 weeks, mind xD
