I loved UIL Academic stuff when I was in elementary and middle school. Whether it was spelling; maps, graphs, and charts (which I pretty consistently dominated, mind you); or number sense, I loved getting the day off to get together, hang out with friends, and try my best in these competitions. But, when I got to high school, they'd stopped doing them up there for "lack of interest" 2/

So, in Texas, the University Interscholastic League (UIL) is a pretty big thing in schools. UIL handles all manner of competition from sports (like football or baseball), to band (such as marching band or choir), to theatre (in the form of One Act Play, though iirc, they also had musicals), to debate, but my favourite thing they did was the academic competitions, where a bunch of schools would meet up to compete in various tasks. 1/

Doing a crossword and, uh, am I *wrong*?

That reminds me, I still need to sit down and figure out if you could make toast on a photocopier/scanner

Tabs I have open on my phone right now:
A completed Picrew
Recipe for black pepper ice cream
How to solve a Rubik's cube (for beginners)
Medicines for various stomach aches
DuckDuckGo: "making toast on a photocopier"
A picture of a cute wolfgirl

There's your daily dose of insight into my mind.

So, if you, like me, enjoy picross, I have a fun little twist on it you may enjoy. Grab a normal picross puzzle...and start by filling the whole thing in. All of it. Then, try to, based on the clues for where the filled in blocks are supposed to be, to remove blocks until you finish the puzzle. It's tricky, and I'm not sure every puzzle can be completed this way, but why not give it a shot?

Basically, I still haven't figured myself out yet, but I'm working on it.

I'm not sure yet, but I think I may have gotten the "pansexual aromantic" thing a bit backwards. I think I may actually be panromantic asexual. (And, well, technically not. Technically, I might actually be pan-grey-aro aegosexual, but, bah technicalities.)
