I was sitting at my desk, annoyed that I have two grad papers to write this week plus a few long work projects, and then I read girl #2’s entry. Sometimes you need a reminder that it could be worse.
As long as I know my phone is safe and has not been stolen by a teenage hooligan, I’m more than okay with putting it in my purse and ignoring it for hours. It makes double fisting drinks that much easier.
Exactly! I’ve had guys who came over, and then when I didn’t want to have sex, they said “well why invite me over?”. It’s the worst thing in the world hearing.
Thank you for this. I see myself as a very assertive person, yet I encounter guys like this on a semi-regular basis. It’s part of the reason I stopped dating for a while, because a lot of the guys assumed that they were entitled to something more than just a date, and I was tired of feeling like the weirdo who wanted to take things a bit slower.
My yoga class I’ll sometimes hit up is led by this super chill 70 year old woman. She doesn’t move between poses too quickly, and she has an awesome playlist of CSNY in the background.
Completely agree. I’ve been toying with the idea of making the move from DC to Denver for a while now. While all my friends and family are in the DMV, I can’t stand the thought of staying in one place for the rest of my life, and Denver blew me away last time I went. I’m excited for a challenge to start fresh and learn how to make new friends again. But it’s definitely scary, because as you said, unless you’re aware of your issues/needs and know what steps you’ll take to address them, moving to a new place can blow up in your face quickly.
This gives me hope that someone will find my uncle’s habit of bringing yard tools (leaf blower, chainsaw with chain removed) into the house as a joke on thanksgiving as entertaining rather than horrifying.

Family Stone. Week prior to Christmas with roommates. Drink: TJ’s wine of choice. Food: Thai Take-out.
I managed to find a place where I can walk to my gym, grocery store, and sushi go-to, and it’s made all the difference.
This reminded me of how I’m not smooth at all.
Hell yea. If you don’t mind traipsing around art museums with a slight buzz
I have a used lawnmower out back you can buy if you want that too.
Single for over a year: buy yourself a European vacation and get wine drunk while eating risotto and tiramisu.
Sometimes I leave early at 3, and say that I have a doctor’s appointment. But in reality, I just wanted to see the sun.

This is a nice change to the classic walk around the monuments with a flask at dusk DC date. May have to add this to my repertoire.
I’m just going to pretend that my honda civic I’m almost done paying off is a Lambo.

What happens when you don’t like most people? Asking for a friend.
Madhatter in dupont? Please tell me you order one of the hats.
