<p>Maddy, it&rsquo;s okay to take those imperfections and own them. All of your own ridges and inside-out seams are something that can bring you joy, even if they don&rsquo;t bring joy to others. Revel in your imperfections. Roll around in them. Wear them on your body and let others think their own thoughts.</p>

<p>I understand the need to have fun, and I understand, at least on an intellectual level, the fun behind pranks, but for some reason, this dumbass decides that I need a prank pulled on me nearly every day.</p>

<p>But man, him putting that stupid fucking urinal cake in my cube wall was several steps too far. It drove everyone around me nuts. The PM stopped talking to me. I couldn&rsquo;t figure out what was going on. Nobody but him was happy.</p>
<p>And it took me three days to find. Three days! Three hot, summer days of a urinal cake baking in the wall of the cubicle, sitting delicately in the cableway, innocent of any crimes of its own. Just sitting there, smelling like a bathroom as it ought, making my workspace smell like a bathroom, precisely as it oughtn&rsquo;t.</p>
<p>Fucking Kevin, man.</p>

<p>Scent I like. (No. 2 rougui)</p>

<p>Every time I pick up an interest related to taste or smell, I find myself imagining scents and tastes in fractal detail.</p>
<p>When I decided that I desperately needed to try cajeta, I tried to mash together the scents of goat milk and caramel in my head, then investigated that border between them, letting them mix ever so slowly and continuing to dive deeper and deeper into that delta (brackish?) zone where I could hope to learn a bit more without actually having it available to taste.</p>
<p>That I wound up loving the taste is an added bonus.</p>
<p>I did the same with mead, the same with beer, the same with distilling.</p>
<p>So, when I&rsquo;m actually out and out surprised, completely stumped by a scent within a category I&rsquo;m obsessing over, it can shock my whole system to some higher state. I got this tea, the No. 2 rougui, as part of a sample pack, and it punched me in the face with just how much it reminded me of cajeta. I&rsquo;m no stranger to oolongs, but that one hit just the perfect balance of roast so that I was left swooning.</p>
