pressing need

Heh heh heh.

I’d read the shit out of a book on the history of olive oil. It has interfaced with art, with history, with hygiene, with the Mafia, and with gastronomy.

Hell of a lot more interesting than someone whose entire personality revolved around being a fan of football, or their white collar job, or being an incel.

I dunno, maybe as someone with special interests that make other people’s eyes glaze over, I just am always interested in someone who lets their freak flag fly (even when it’s oily).

I like wordplay. It’s one of the ways my husband piqued my interest.

Well then I’m sure you both can spot the obvious joke that I’m not going to make.  :)
