a scalding of the soul: this porridge is too hot!

i think the last porridge allergy episode was not really because of the porridge. i don't know why i keep risking myself like this but i decided to get another bowl of porridge this morning, and i was fine. maybe the last time was just a shock since i hadn't had porridge in forever.

anyway, while i was getting myself a bowl, this random guy comes up to me and taps me on the shoulder (i had my earphones on at the time). i turn around and look at him and he greets me, "heeeeey," and then hugs me like we've been friends forever. so i give him the standard "good morning" hoping we didn't look awkward. but what was funny was, he starts walking away after greetings and he says, "by the way, you know that the real food is on the other side, right?"

WEIRD. did he think i was somebody else? do i have another twin here at the UN? or was that just another way of saying, "you gotta eat!" so not only am i not unique, i also look like i don't eat right. hmmm...
