I thought that was a great role reversal, as it's usually Abbi who's the one giving Ilana a look as she crafts some tale, so it was hilarious to see Ilana thinking, "What the fuck?" as Abbi started yelling at her.

Definitely not totally wrong and crazy. You're right; I'm lonely and I miss the comfort of being in a relationship. I've been contemplating some casual/no strings attached sex and am on Tinder, but I keep balking every time a guy shows interest in me.

Hahaha I didn't even think of that! Whenever I'm climbing, I always want to bust past the volunteers and run rampant on the 8th and 9th floor.

Right?!? I went last Tuesday and got stuff for work for the week and a few things for dinner; $87, with using coupons and buying stuff on sale. I just can't fathom dropping another $40 or so for lunch stuff, produce, cereal and yogurt.

I don't know if there's a specific quality per se; I just miss him as a whole. I think it's also trepidation of having to go through the dating process again…I wish I could just fast-forward through all the awkward small talk and fruitless first dates.

Still plugging away on Mary Roach's "Gulp." It's good, but I usually only have time to read while I eat breakfast, and this book doesn't go well with cereal.

None yet, but I want to get:
-an infinity symbol on my left ankle…cliche, I know, but it symbolizes my belief in karma and eternal life.

That sounds like my ideal meetup group.

I know those feelings all too well, so that is a big deal! Best of luck to you and your new boo.

I'm starting my first improv class next week - I was able to skip the intro class and go right to the foundation classes because the people in the improv group told me I would be bored in intro.

I *really* need to go grocery shopping, but my financial situation is not good at the moment. I get paid on Friday, but about 70 percent of that is going to rent. I'm not really sure how/what I'm going to eat until Saturday morning.

Congratulations!

Cats are sticklers for fresh water; if you can afford it, Other Guy, I've heard the cat water fountains are a good investment.

I volunteer at a cat shelter, and when I put a garbage bag in the trash can, they all come running to gnaw on whatever bit of plastic they can get their teeth on. It's perplexing. And annoying.

When he first comes home, keep him enclosed in a room with his water, food and litter box; it will give him time to adapt to the new smells/locale without being overwhelmed by your entire apartment. Eventually, after a couple of days, you can let him explore the rest of your apartment.

Feeling kind of blah these days…I've ventured back into the world of online dating, but in the past week or so, I've really been pining after (for lack of a less cheesy term) my ex. I've been dreaming about him, too (also cheesy as hell). I find myself comparing every guy I have a passing interest in to him. It's…

I had to look it up on a Parks Wiki: Stephen, Sonia and Wesley.

I love how the triplets became an afterthought; they were used the exact right amount in this last season.

I started marathoning Parks during a bout of unemployment and subsequent serious depressive episode; it was always a bright spot in an otherwise dark period of my life. I think that's why I'm having so much trouble letting go.
