I realized yesterday that today is my half-birthday. Which really means nothing. But I remember telling people "I'm seven and a half" when I was younger, and being so proud of those extra six months. "I'm 31 and a half" really doesn't have the same ring to it, I've gotta say.
I had (a purely platonic) dinner with a woman I met on OKCupid last night. She was funny and sweet and we have a million things in common. There are all of these sites to meet romantic partners; why aren't there sites dedicated to making friends? Maybe I'm just awkward, and the rest of you don't need the Interwebs to make friends. Maybe.
I'm trying to make some decisions about what I'd like to do with my life, career-wise. Everything's still up in the air at the moment, but change is afoot, and I'm excited to see how things shake out. Shoutout to Alyssa, whose post about taking a calculated risk was very inspiring to me.
Speaking of posts, here are more things I recently discovered on the Internet:
- Making the Perfect BLT. I don't even eat bacon, but I love that she put some thought into how to make a truly excellent sandwich.
- Work hard, know your shit, show your shit, and then feel entitled. Mindy Kaling, you are just the best.
- Josh Duggar has proven himself to be a real turd, hasn't he? Yikes.
- No Labels, No Drama? While that may be true, it seems to imply that people expect no labels, no feelings. I have feelings for everyone I'm intimate with, even if they're not "I wanna be your girlfriend" kind of feelings. Just because you haven't defined the relationship doesn't mean you should have no regard for your partner, and hiding your feelings is not the path to empowerment.
Someday, I shall share photos and recommendations from my trip to Seattle, but today is not that day. Have a great weekend, y'all!
