Bug Let Loose on Nature Trail, Doesn’t Get Lost

In a shocking turn of events on Saturday, Anonymous Bug, 30, took to a local nature trail to let off some steam and somehow managed to not get lost. “I’m as shocked as everyone else,” stated Bug. “I think the only reason I didn’t get lost was because my best friend was with me, and even then, I have a remarkable, unearned confidence that often leads me and others down the wrong path. That’s not a metaphor. I’m being literal.” In previous nature trail endeavors, Bug found themself disoriented and unable to find their way back, turning what they intended to be a mile-long hike into nearly four miles. They didn’t even take water with them. “I’m not smart,” admitted Bug. Now that they know the the correct path to take, Bug is looking forward to future nature hikes where they can take pictures of local flora without fear of getting lost and dying from heat stroke.

Local Bug Rediscovers Concept of Eggs, Makes Some For The Week

Anonymous Bug, a 30-year-old resident of a satellite city outside of the DFW metroplex, had their world rocked when their mother reminded them of the existence of eggs. “I’ve always loved eggs,” said Bug, “So much, in fact, that my personality centered around eggs for quite a while. I don’t know how I forgot about them.” While placing their grocery order for curbside pickup Sunday morning, Bug came across a grocery item called “Hill Country Fare Grade A Large White Eggs, 12 ct” and remembered their conversation with their mother. They promptly added it to their cart. “I love eggs because you can make them so many different ways. They’re a great breakfast food.” And that’s exactly what Bug intended to use them for. Once they picked up their grocery order, they went home and made medium-boiled eggs on their stove. “I cooked all twelve at once, and I definitely could have eaten them all in one sitting, but that wasn’t why I did that. I made them so I can have them for breakfast throughout the week! Has anybody heard of this?”

New Hobby Added to Local Bug’s Roster

After coming across an amusing and endearing post on the failing microblogging platform tumblr.com, Anonymous Bug, 30, decided to try something new and write a personal newsletter. “Sorry, this one’s a little meta,” Bug apologized. Sometimes, the local ADHD hobby-collector feels the urge the write, but is generally uninspired. “I have plenty of writing projects I’ve started and have yet to finish. I have to wait until a near-manic wave of energy hits me, then I stay up writing until 3am. Otherwise, I stare at the same paragraph for hours. What better source of inspiration than talking about myself?” The yapping-prone microblogger is often plagued by a compulsion to declare every mundane thought that passes through their thick skull. “I’ve been on tumblr since I was 16, but I was publicly sharing my internal thoughts well before then. It’s called having no impulse control.” Bug remarked that a bi-weekly faux newsletter was a good way to compile and display their mundane thoughts, while also finding ways to appreciate the simple, day-to-day happenings. “I can be a bit of a curmudgeon, so it’s a nice change of pace to spend time appreciating the mundane.”
