I closed down my OKC account mid-April (spur-of-the-moment, so my apologies to the ladies and dudes I was messaging with) and haven't looked at Tinder in weeks, so I guess I'm trying this thing called "meeting people in real life." It's terrifying. Every relationship I've ever had has resulted from OKC, so this is…

Everything that's due Friday and next Wednesday. Basically, all of my work. My boss is out of the office today, so my productivity is in the shitter.

Ditto.

I like this thread!

Cover letters make me irrationally frustrated. I'm a writer by trade yet a three-paragraph letter makes my brain shut down.

I'm so sorry. Sending good vibes to you and your grandmother.

I tip my hat to you for staying calm in the face of such familial annoyance. Maybe it's because we were all gathered together for a funeral, but Baltimore thankfully never came up at all last weekend in the presence of my Ben Carson-loving grandmother/conservative southern relatives.

More whining than seeking advice, but I haven't had intimate physical contact with anyone since before Christmas. Obviously I miss sex/making out/etc., but it's mostly the little things like holding hands, spooning or a hand on the small of my back/arm around my shoulders during a social event.

I'm ambivalent on her, but what sticks out about her most in my mind is all of her negative talking heads at the beginning of the season, most of them about Shirin, if I recall correctly.

Even with her makeup gun set to "Reunion Show," I still think last night's jury may be the hottest jury in Survivor history.

God, his poor wife. Can you imagine hearing him talk that kind of bullshit every day?

Victim blaming is fun! So you're saying if Shirin's dad incessantly and viciously berated her for something like forgetting to take out the trash, that means she deserved that kind of verbal abuse?
If anyone is damaged and shouldn't have been allowed on this show, it's Will or Dan.

I wasn't in love with Vanna, but I was gifted a Teacher Barbie complete with a little student doll; I named the Barbie Vanna and the little fro'ed child Pat.

I just reinstalled Spotify and it's all back. Thank dog.

It's very bittersweet - you want them to get adopted and be out of the stressful shelter environment, but then you miss seeing them after they're gone.

Oooh, also: Swing by Savage

Funnily enough, I live in New England. And I come from a family of Red Sox fans.

Just opened Spotify to do this and discovered it erased my entire music library. Cool!

Just posted upthread that I'm about to start reading Guts. I'm glad it comes well-recommended.
